using the media to influence elections is what the media is for. That said, two potential mines in this minefield can explode with some force:<p>1. are there contractual obligations to republican orgs that purchased ad space on FB that are breached if FB has a systematic internal bias against their political position. I.e. can every conservative org band together in a class action? They might not win but they have the political clout to run a very damaging discovery process.<p>2. using information to influence financial markets and benefiting from it is very illegal and people go down for it all the time. If some third party made a successful trading business using facebook information, I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s someone at the DOJ who can turn that into a conspiracy to defraud markets case.
