Like all countries, Israel is only an ally to themselves.

So much for "democracy" people is so proud of. There is an undercover report that just came out of how cambridge analytica works, not only in the u.s. election, but in every country willing to pay.

Apparently they work with spies, bribes, prostitutes, and of course israel.

I didn't vote for the Democrat ticket in 2016. But this still concerns me.

Your concern is fairly irrelevant. Even detaching your comment from the blatant concern trolling, its like saying that any new technology concerns you. In this instance, your so called concern is very likely to have very negative anti-democratic effects.

does it concern you when the left uses Facebook and social media as well? Or how the regular media can be blatantly biased towards a candidate?

I don't think it's a matter of intelligence. But I do think that Cambridge Analytica helped identify people that were more vulnerable to the misinformation that was being put out about Clinton. And then to spread that misinformation. Uranium One. Misinformation.

Oh the irony.

The Obama campaign did the same thing in 2012.



Ex-Obama Campaign Director Drops Bombshell Claim on Facebook

In a Sunday tweet thread, Carol Davidson, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America, said the 2012 campaign led Facebook to “suck out the whole social graph” and target potential voters. They would then use that data to do things like append their email lists.

When Facebook found out what they were doing, they were “surprised,” she said.

Uranium One was broken by The Hill. Not by a right wing site

I don't understand thsi notion the left puts out that Trump voters were tricked, were played. They act like Hillary Clinton was the one that would serve their best interests better even if they are against far left policies

The majority of Facebook's value is in the individualized data it collects about it's users, which it sells. If you're OK with that concept, it seems silly to be upset because of who they sell it to.
