How Trump Consultants Exploited the Facebook Data of Millions
The firm had secured a $15 million investment from Robert Mercer, the wealthy Republican donor, and wooed his political adviser,
Stephen K. Bannon, with the promise of tools that could identify the personalities of American voters and influence their behavior.

its nothing, faggot
GRUMPFH
Good for him.
Yes it is. They can not blame Russia anymore.
Democrats will make sure that Trump and his crew will get in big trouble over this. Just watch.
Surely THIS is the end of that wretched drumph
Literally nothing, saged.
Maybe not end of Trump, but end of constant insane blaming Russia for it.
Im so glad you posted this. SO glad you made this awesome thread.
If only all of Sup Forums looked exactly like you do.
if only all of the WORLD was more like you.
I bet you have super high confidence and a hot ass white GF that left her fiance for you bro.
grats on being the smartest guy ever! what a great idea it was to come here with your litter and smear your shit on everything around you. THANKS.
I just bought your a 1000$ amazon giftcard, can you post your timestamped driver's license so I know where to mail it?
where do you live bro? I'll mail you one every week that you keep posting here.
shit man, we are best friends now. you made my whole life with your great contribution.
awesome way to spend your time and energy.

We're ignoring this Shit nigger
Just watch Democrats how they will use this to destroy him.
I’m the white girl that dates only Asian guys with absolutely no apology… and, depending on who you are, I know what you’re thinking when I say that. Non-Asian guys usually take a step back, take a good look at me, and, with the little wheels in their heads slowly chugging away, they find the only feasible sentence worth saying is, simply:
“Oh…so you like small dick?”
To which I cheerfully reply, “Nope. I find that rumor to be largely unfounded. I just hate ugly faces.”
Watching them walk away with those faces contorted with puzzlement is so amusing, but that’s only if they leave at that moment. Sadly, there are those that press on.
“Well…what do Asian guys have that make them so special? Why don’t you date White guys? Have you considered Black guys? How can you know what you like if you’ve never dated different races? You’re too young to say what you do and don’t like…” etc.
They’re either completely confused and/or jealous as to why an attractive white woman like myself (if I might be conceited enough to say) likes only Asian men.
It’s frustrating to feel constantly challenged on something that shouldn’t matter to anyone but me. People aren’t going to ask me why I date men, so why should they ask me why I date Asian Men? The answer is the same to both questions: because that’s what I’m attracted to.
>linking to the jytimes
Fuck off cunt
Big trouble over What?
Using online polls?
wait, i must be missing something. why is this a big thing again? i honestly thought that it was common knowledge that virtually every party and corporation did this. furthermore, the existence of CTR was common knowledge as well (???)
someone pls educate my yuropoor brain on this
>Got caught red handed
>using data to make a better message
So illegal. Don't you know IT WAS HER TURN????!!!!
If it only costs 15 million to election with bot trolls, I am going all in 2020 boys
Essentially polling data. Show me one campaign that doesn't use polling data and surveys? Reminder Awan brothers were operating an illegal server for the DNC before wiring 200k to pakistan and attempting to flee the country.
>Stephen K. Bannon, with the promise of tools that could identify the personalities of American voters and influence their behavior.
Till now they were blaming Russians for it but now we know that Russians were innocent as what they were claiming that they are.
Americans did it, not Russians.
Good catch meme flag.
>when 5 seconds of google proves Obama did the same shit 10 years ago
NOBODY
GIVES
A
FUCK
The elites have been planning this with DARPA and other groups for a long time. They are just pissed the private sector used it more effectively.
How come everybody was giving fuck when everybody was blaming Russia for it.
Why suddenly dropping like a hot potato. Makes no sense.
JONNADLRDE FRTNUMMMPFF!
Quit meddling in our politics
BECAUSE NOBODY GAVE A FUCK WHEN OBAMA DID IT 10 YEARS AGO, NOR DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL RUN IN 2012, YOU SHIT. THE LIBSHITS CAN'T CONDEMN TRUMP WITHOUT CONDEMNING OBAMA. IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR TRUMP!
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! HISTORY RAPEATS ITSELF! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
And here is the faggot who was in Trumps pocket doing it.
I'm sure Democrats will have riot with this scandal.
Possible impeachment. Get ready boyss.
He got pissed and left to try to do the same shit for the left but was hit with a bunch of lawsuits for intellectual rights and such. Fucking hypocrites.

The Cambridge analytica story is:
1 Old news
2 Not controversial
Political parties using research firms and segmenting the voters is at this point a century old tradition.
You sound like UK police you melodramatic nigger.
>Exploited the Facebook Data
That's literally what Facebook is for.
They try to say some foreigners might have worked on it as they try to shoo the pakis under the carpet.
Yes,nobody did 10 years ago, but now since the elections topic of Russia meddling in American elections is a daily topic.
Guess what,Trump even signed bunch of economic sanctions against Russia and Russian citizens.
Obama even confiscated actually stole Russian diplomatic buildings because of this exact issue.
So now America must return stolen Russian real estate, lift the economic sanctions and publicly apologize to Russia.
DRUMPF ETERNALLY BTFO HOW WILL HE EVER RECOVER
also sage
kys
All my retarded posted are custom designed to match your shallow intellect.
...
You realize Hillary did the same thing to help her know where to focus attention.
There is nothing illegal about using data.
So blaming and punishing Russia for meddling in American elections was just a pure lie.
You know like the same lie that US spread all over the World Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
Very interesting games of lies and deception Proudly Made in America.
yeah because the guy who was involved with Marsh and McLennan isn't suspicious at all, like nobody asking how come this Mercer guy got away with unheard of 74% returns year after year and then after the election fracas his company is seized and he disappears
make believe that outs your sb status the script
...
>we know that Russians were innocent
nobody is ever innocent, Russians fuck with our election every year mostly on request of actors within our government
>here is nothing illegal about using data.
there should b, no government entity should have access to data without warrant
itt triggered ptg shills break out of their safe space
Hey faggot, you stfu until youve lurked at leat 2 yewrs, faggot.
Leave him alone. This is mine thread and I gave him permission to post in it.
They voluntarily submitted the data but they were told it was for research purposes. It mostly was because Korgan was given a set of the data and techniques as part of his end of the deal to use for his research.
>> Trump got caught red handed
>> how Trump consultants did x
Pick one
This doesnt belong to you.
Stop being argumentative.
So now we know why Trump is threatening to attack Damascus, to divert public attention from this political disaster.
He is wiling to kill innocent people of Syria just so he can save his face.
Very evil plan if you ask me.
This is nothing, however, this should be a reminder of why you shouldn't have faceberg for anyone stupid enough to still have an account.
>Trump literally runs a Clinton inspired CTR campaign
>REEEEEE IT'S NOTHING!!!! IT'S ONLY BAD WHEN HILLARY DOES IT!!!!
...
Dont get upset. Its called freedom of expression. lots of it is garbage. there is a fair amount of FBI honeypotting.
the one thing is many things break here. very simple. if you cant handle the truth you need to go back to facebook
No safe space here dickhead
anons,I think that he was just joking, just see the level of sarcasm in his post.
I might be wrong tho.
I was being sarcastic a bit.
Name the statute violated.
>Old news
Stories like this get recycled as breaking news every time Trump does something that damages the establishment like firing McCabe.
I don't get it. Are they acting like that isn't the point of social media?
>research group used Facebook's marketing tools that Facebook sells to advertisers
wow, that will really impeach drumphy
People who use facebook deserve to be exploited
All these edgy Trump shills in here
That makes it kosher, as it is no longer foreign interference. Get it?
There's another straw over there. Go grasp at it for awhile.
> knowing what the voter base wants is the same as hiring keyboard warriors to spread lies online
Upvoted.
This won't hurt Trump at all... In fact, nothing being done there is illegal or even reprehensible.
It's been done time and time again in every election. It would just go to show you the genius of the Trump campaign in that they were able to essentially do what's been done for years now and not even be seen doing it. Everyone kept accusing Trump of being behind the times and not knowing how to campaign in the current year.
Clinton worked directly with Eric Schmidt if Google to eliminate and bury negative articles about Hillary, Podesta, Uranium One, Haiti, the Clinton Foundation from search queries.
>Eric Schmidt stepped down.
What’s Zuckerburg doing? Oh yeah, being a CEO.
>What’s Trump doing for the next 7 years? Oh yeah, being GEOTUS.
Just say it OP, then kys
I dont think Trump had anything to do with the Facebook hive mind, Facebook didn't want a democratic president because Obama kept Facebook in line. Facebook has been to court many times but always finds a loop hole out. Facebook has influence the world with lies. This is the last time I am going to repeat this to all, there were 3 an Arab, a black guy from Yemen or some other middle east country and Zuc who started facebook it was a black person mostly dating site, the Arab supposedly got his head chopped off, dont know where the black guy went, it started in Austin TX. Austin TX knows why do you think they ran them out. It had to go live on an island this twin crap and the movie was all bull shit, and why so many people cant remember the actual facts has me puzzled it apparently has strong influences over the masses. He fits the Muslims Dajjal the deceiver and the Jewish peoples Messiah it's a big puzzle and i think it wants us all at war, if the Muslims are right the Arabs are with the Jews they might want us all gone to war. Who collects all this 3rd party info, the beast system he let it out before the Internet was secured by the rockets. They cant turn it off because people get an a dopamine from the site, happy faces, check marks ect. See study done on the effects of social media, the Muslims devil effects your 3rd temple your brain. Is it collecting info to judge everyone or act like God. How many apps are connected to the beast system? Why is it gathering info? Im not a conspiracy theorists but something is wrong with this whole thing. I cant figure it out, i myself have a hard time remembering the actual facts. Mussluim persecution is Christian persecution Jesus comes back in the end of their book. Have you seen the amount of craziness on the system to get their little dose of a dopamine? Why do they want all countries at war with each other Russia and USa, As well as others.
>exploited data
how do you exploit data? Does data have rights?
Its total BS. Facebook are the ones actually in trouble because they are responsible for the data. The data though was acquired with consent but they are trying to say it was under false pretense because it was listed as research. Wtf else is data if it isnt research?
>studying for a PhD in fashion trend forecasting
How dare you fuck with Zero Cool.
>We're coming for you Drumfphy
10 dollars says this guy shills on pol.
>OH MAH GEWD SOMEONE USED FACEBOOK DATA TO MARKET THINGS!!!!
>only we're supposed to do that!
.t - illumisalty
funny thing is
no one genuinely says that, you got memed on shill.
flumpfags are in peak denial and it's beautiful
How's Imran Awan these days?
Who collects all the data from the smart tv's that can watch you, and your children getting ready in the morning. This data crap has gone to far it is an invasion of privacy especially when they can spy on small children. Universal natural law order, oh but wait did you agree to the terms when you set up the smart tv. It's beyond disturbing. How do you infiltrate a country? Spying know their weaknesses, research the whole tv spying and call the repair shops, but its not like our phones and tablets cant do the same thing and track your schedules and places you visit.
Literally all of the data that Facebook had was handed over to Obama's NSA/FBI/CIA.
I don't understand why it's only fucked up when Trump does it.
You really think it was handed over?
Dems want to act like "Foreign collusion!" but want us to let any foreigner that wants to come stay and vote, and drive, and use all of our govt services.
>This British company that sells human data based on facebook account activity?
>They helped Trump
>You know who they may have also helped?
>RUSSIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>RUSSIANS ARE INNOCENT
KEK
you're gullible and that's very sweet of you
Checkity check keked!
>take quiz on facebook
>click yes to allow access to all my friends accounts
So a company was able to get facebook data and Trump was able to run on issues that are important to people?
Literally Stalin
Research for what? To see how to divide everyone and all the countries? To cause confusion and chaos through the world? It was made by 3 foreigners from the holy middle east.
fine. how is the case going?
Microtargeting voters was pretty much invented by Democrats.
Bernie's team even hacked the DNC voter database during the primaries to get access and even sued the DNC when they were blocked off.
Can't win a political campaign without these methods. Pretty sure this is illegal in Europe but in the US it's fair game to tell each voter exactly what they want to hear based on big data profiling.

>private Facebook data
>Mr. Wylie found a solution at Cambridge University’s Psychometrics Centre. Researchers there had developed a technique to map personality traits based on what people had liked on Facebook. The researchers paid users small sums to take a personality quiz and download an app, which would scrape some private information from their profiles and those of their friends, activity that Facebook permitted at the time. The approach, the scientists said, could reveal more about a person than their parents or romantic partners knew — a claim that has been disputed.
Wow, they give willing participants cash right before they looked at all the pages you liked! Those bastards!
Thats not even the claim. The claim is that a British guy was CEO of the company or something. They are saying its foreign collusion. I thought the Brits were our friend and thats why we have to attack Russia? I always forget who big brothers says we are at war with.
He can't keep getting away with it!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What does the book say? Every kingdom, nation and home will be divided.
except they didn't hack the database retard. nor does it validate flumptard shill tactics.
disgracefull and you should be ashamed for replying in such an obvious manner, shill
Like everyone does on facebook?
>Facebook data being exploited
>breaking news
Before I read this article, let me guess. Is it only a problem now because DRUUMMMFFF
