It’s not a big story in Breitbart news but as you can see it has almost 700 replies. It’s also being covered in all major news outlets, Fox might be an exception, they are probably talking about Hillary or Obama.

It's not nearly as big as most topics that get stickied, by any means.

It is big. It’s your political bias that doesn’t let you see that. 700 posts is not easy to achieve

Anyway let’s discuss the topic. What do you think about these companies sharing (Facebook) and using your personal data for advertising and political purposes?

IF the election was pushed in Trumps direction by Russian hacking, Cambridge Analytics or illegal immigrants voting for Trump is unlikely to ever be conclusively proven and probably academic at this point.

What is more interesting (and relevant) is what Bob Muller uncovers regarding Trump's campaign activities along with what should be obvious to everyone - Trumps blind spot to Putin and all things Russian.

Are you gonna keep repeating yourself or are you gonna participate? Why don’t you email the mods and give them your opinion? Mods actions should not be discussed in regular threads. It’s not like we can do anything for you. We didn’t sticked this thread so don’t complain to us. You have some misplaced anger.

Sounds like you’re looking for excuses for why your candidate lost

I wouldn't like it just like I do not like the fact that every retailer with loyalty cards does the same thing as I'd bet credit card companies do or any business that has a digital presence. The only people that get actual deep information from me are the ones that must have it like loans etc.

The rest get massaged generic info at best...

Interesting, I didn't know that existed. I use FB quite a bit and I'm mixed about whether I'd want to block the political postings to be honest. It's interesting to see what my FB friends values are, even if they disagree with mine.

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing this would be a MUCH bigger deal to you if Hillary had won the election using these tactics.
