This whole situation is so retarded.
Everyone knows that everyone does this datamining stuff. But right-wingers I guess we are supposed to believe are exempt from being allowed to do that.

Cambridge Analytica, the British firm at the center of the Facebook data mining scandal, has been accused of violating US election laws in new legal complaints filed by government watchdog Common Cause.
The watchdog group has filed legal complaints with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Department of Justice, accusing Cambridge Analytica of violating federal laws which prohibit foreigners from direct or indirect participation in US political campaigning.
Cambridge Analytica, which worked with the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election, is accused of mining the data of 50 million Facebook users, without their explicit knowledge or consent, and then attempting to use it to influence voters.
The Trump campaign is reported to have paid the British firm more than $5 million for its services. Records also show that seventeen other Republican campaigns and political groups paid the firm $16 million for similar services.
Saying that they’re not allowed to do it because they’re a foreign firm is about the only angle that I can see making any sense at all.
Of course, one would think that charges along those lines would put our greatest ally in some potential danger. Because Israel is, as far as I’m aware, a foreign country.
