FTC rules 5-0 that Cambridge Analytica engaged in deceptive practices [pdf]
I'd be interested in seeing an unanimous FTC ruling on Barack Obama's campaign downloading and mining the entire Facebook social graph in 2012, with Facebook's implicit consent. And unlike the Trump campaign, Obama's did use this data for more than just winning the primary. It went something like this: you downloaded an app on FB and that app would grab not just your data, but also _that of your friends_. FB turned the blind eye. Nary a word from the press, too.<p><a href="https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-scandal-trump-election-obama-2012/" rel="nofollow">https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-...</a>
