The more I read about the recent Facebook scandal, its clear this sort of things been going on for a very long time. The major difference is this time the data mining was used by campaign consultants of the person who wasnt supposed to win. Donald Trump. Where were these worries four years ago for the much larger and arguably more manipulative effort by the Obama campaign? Instead of using a personality quiz, the Obama campaign merely got a portion of its core supporters to use their Facebook profiles to log into a campaign site. Then they used well-tested techniques of gaining consent from that user to harvest all their friends data. Sasha Issenberg gushed about how the Obama campaign used the same permissions structure of Facebook to extract the data of scores of millions of Facebook users who were unaware of what was happening to them. Combining Facebook data with other sources such as voter-registration rolls, Issenberg wrote, generated a new political currency that predicted the behavior of individual humans. The campaign didnt just know who you were; it knew exactly how it could turn you into the type of person it wanted you to be. Whats genius when it helps Obama, is suddenly a threat to Democracy when Trump wins. The truth is, it was dangerous and unethical before and its dangerous and unethical now. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-22/krieger-only-reason-were-examining-facebooks-sleazy-behavior-because-trump-won --- Blitzball fan?
