what a classic deflection by bringing up Obama and some how trying to connect him to this travesty.


Um... you can’t say “whataboutism” when you are comparing two directly hypocritical reactions to the same scenario.

CA sold data to Trump, Rubio, and others - pitchforks!

FB gives data to Obama and Clinton, marketing awards and praise.


CA sold stolen data and bragged about blackmailing politicians.

Gonna need a citation of Obama being even remotely involved in something like that.

Classic deflection.


Look at Wikileaks and Assange's tweets today. The screenshots are more concrete evidence ( fake or not ) than I've seen related to this CA thing.


If the most concrete evidence you've seen for either accusation is screenshots then you should check out the Channel 4 videos.


Exactly my point

Story contains tweets from his campaign manager.


The dailymail, really?


Are you saying the tweets in the article are not genuine or the article is untrue? It would probably be better if you engaged with the content of the story rather than virtue signal.


If a dailymail story about facebook giving data they own to obama is the best you can do, you've only proven my point.


Did you even read the story? It contains screenshots of tweets from the Carol Davidsen, Media Director at Obama for America. Do those screenshots magically become true when reproduced on a different website? The fact that you can only complain about the website I linked to, rather than the substance of the story, only proves my point.

But here, have a link from somewhere else:

CA sold stolen data. CA paid out bribes to win elections.

Why are you bringing up facebook giving away data that they own?


Facebook gave preferential access to data, breaching their own ToS, to a political party they supported.
