Cambridge Analytica is a British company, so they're immune from this. It's owned, however, by Rebekka Mercer, who is American. So if Zuckerberg and Trump have to go, Mercer should go too.

A plague on all their houses. They have all been corrupted by far too much money, and they are corrupting the rest of us with too much influence on our lives.

Would it be a big story if Zuck resigned immediately after the hearings, and moved out of the country. Like many high profile people are doing already, to avoid prosecution?

No wonder all these people are going bat**** crazy, because Trump got in office. There was no longer a puppet with dirt to coerce, to keep the secret of how the perpetual corruption is applied by the global cabal.

I'm not a betting man, but Zuckerburg is a sure bet as toast.


What law did he break? Just curious.

The people who downloaded the app used by Cambridge Analytica did not know their data would be used to aid any political campaigns. The app was billed as a personality quiz that would be used by Cambridge University researchers....

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

(If the US Government tried to control what is put on a private company's boards, THAT would be socialism. But the more a company like FB tries to control their own business, the further from Socialism it is. I'm not projecting that to be good or bad, you just don't seem to understand the words you are using....)

I think you need to look at what that word means. You're not using it correctly.

No one is forced to use Facebook. And while I don't like what they do with our data, we all agreed to essentially hand our data over to them when we signed up.

Read the TOS.


As far as "censoring" is concerned. It's their platform. They can censor it however they see fit.

Do you see the irony of complaining about censorship while posting on a heavily-moderated forum?


Don't like it? There are other options out there on the internet. And you're free to start one yourself, if none of those options work for you.

That is basically the definition of capitalism. Calling it socialism is beyond absurd.

He's a Rockefeller, you expected integrity? Next you'll be telling me George Soros is a great humanitarian.

No, we think he's selling data in all sorts of, very likely illegal, ways. As to the Trump/Russia stuff, that whole thing is bogus and nothing but an attempt to oust Trump as revenge for Hillary's loss. If they tried to arrest Zuckerberg for helping with that, as much as I dislike the man, I'd actually demand his release as he would be innocent of the charges.
