I'm actually very surprised this has not been a bigger story on Sup Forums. Facebook is currently at the center of one of the most extreme political witchhunts in history and nobody here has caught on it. In terms of dollar values, its the most extreme witchhunt ever.
Yes, its at its core a left-wing organization but it just makes the whole thing weirder.
Quick rundown:
>New York Times, Washington Post, and Channel 4 just all happen to publish coinciding articles at the same time that a rightwing political organization acquired data on facebook users >number of users is small time, less than 2% of FB users >Facebook shares collapse and the company loses 50 billion dollars over night on these reports >within hours of these reports, governments in Britain and the US launch enquires and investigations >There is no secret here as facebook has made their money this way since their inception 14 years ago and FB themselves wont even tell you otherwise >no description on why this is a bad thing now; reporting essentially just using the terms "Rightwing" and "Trump" over and over again >Same news organizations in the past have lauded and celebrated Democratic data mining operations as being "a decade-ahead" of their Republican counterparts >no mention of that in these recent reports
I have never seen a more clear and open display of a company getting "deepstated". It could not be more blatant. The question is why facebook all of the sudden and why now?
Facebook is being used as the scapegoat so people can short the stock and rob everyone invested of their dividends.

Its only bad when you stupid nigger right wing retards do it. How can you not understand this?
Left wing does it: amazing and perfect, innovative and lawful
Right wing does it: unlawful and backwards, dumb and stupid.
Nathan Roberts
Because none of it is remotely surprising to us.
Cameron Torres
Nobody cared when Shareblue was all doing it. But as soon as they found out Trump's campaign wanted (and got) a piece of the pie it was WARRRRRRRR!!! Suddenly they care now.

Complete non-story. This was a personal attack on Mercer, Trump, Bannon, and/or Zuckerberg all in one. Or simply a way to try and get muh Trump impeached. Or if you wanna get real tinfoil hat tier, it was someone wanting the price of FB to tank to make a lot of money from it.
Either way, the media is bought and paid for, and someone still undoubtedly made a lot of money from this.

Liberals don't want that. So they sic their lapdog media on Facebook.

They are trying to split the regressives off of Facebook because there's still too much opportunity for engaging with those holding other opinions.

im pretty sure the actual number of real users is about 2%, the rest are all bots
when the actual bot numbers are released the stocks will tumble

FB was used like a harp from Hell to do all kinds of left funded shit like color revolutions. Things motherfuckers died in when their benefactors cut them off. One president gets elected (Which is kind of the whole point of our Republic) and it's the god damned Inquisition.

Samuel Taylor
Its an attempt by legacy media to undermine new media. (((They))) want to be the only ones setting the agenda and the acceptable talking points. Which is hard to do on a free internet. They want Faceberg to crack down on free speech even harder.
Because mark zukenberg is a jew and he wants more shekels but he gets discovered selling info of fb users. So mark zukenberg is being jewed by another jews. Its confusing but facebook deserves to die.
He is a kike. He is datamining. He also allowed people to express themselves freely until legacy media on his platform and until legacy media and commies started to demand he cracked down on free speech. Which he has done progressively more and more. But it was not enough. So they want to kill him now.
Justin Garcia
Zuckerberg may go down, but kikebook will live. It's nothing.
Lincoln Campbell
>I have never seen a more clear and open display of a company getting "deepstated"
facebook was weaponized with the intent of altering human perception. just like many forms of media exist to present you examples of "normal", face book was intended to be a more personal vehicle of delivery for memetic concepts. Even in a movie, there can be loss of immersion or situational awareness. Facebook gave us the opportunity to attach desired behavior to 'real' people with a past, future, and limited interactability, thus increasing the overall effectiveness of the false memories planted in users.
the open nature of the platform allowed groups with opposing interests to do the same. Unlike hollywood, we cant control who gets the stage. We have been mandated (at the WEF) to shift away from social media and you will see more social media campaigns designed to detatch people from these access points of indoctrination which are too chaotic to effectively control.
>Soros, whose investment fund owned over 300,000 shares in Facebook until last November, said social media platforms are deliberately engineering “addiction to the services they provide.” Facebook and Google deceive their users by “manipulating their attention and directing it towards their own commercial purposes,” In this respect, online platforms have become similar to gambling companies, Soros asserted. “Casinos have developed techniques to hook gamblers to the point where they gamble away all their money, even money they don’t have. “Something very harmful and maybe irreversible is happening to human attention in our digital age,” he said. Social media companies “are inducing people to give up their autonomy,” while the power to shape the public’s attention “is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies.” In future, there could be “an alliance between authoritarian states and these large, data-rich IT monopolies,” in which tech giants’ corporate surveillance would merge with “an already developed system of state-sponsored surveillance,”

Zuckerberg had these publications push this story because he dumped all his facebook cash

he did kike everyone he's tanking his own company as he's running off with the money cuz he sold most his shit before

>The question is why facebook all of the sudden and why now? Part of it is clear media collusion and the like, and people - including broadcasters and reporters - following herds and fads.
It really stems, though, from an ongoing denial that the Democrats ran a spectacularly bad campaign and therefore lost what appeared to them to be an easy race back in 2016. But they can't accept that they fucked up on their own, so they instead are trying to point the finger at anything else they can - the russians, fake news, facebook data, etc. It's ridiculous - we've been using targetted ad campaigns for decades; nothing in the 2016 election was new in that respect. People still had to decide who to vote for, and the Dems failed at convincing enough of them to vote for Hillary. I'm sure if the Dems hadn't already gone gung-ho on 'there is no such thing as voter fraud' as part of the latino outreach that they'd be saying the polls were rigged too.
The lack of any serious investigations on the left of what *they* did wrong is silly, but there it is.
Jason Bell
There's no outrage because nobody's even remotely surprised. Who cares about failbook anyway.
>The question is why facebook all of the sudden and why now? t. Shareholder
Hey, do you remember the other day (Sunday night, I think?) where someone showed publicly available records of Zuckercuck selling shares over the previous 7 days to "cash out" as much as he could without making it look like he was dropping Facebook altogether?
It's because Zuckerkike and Podesta were working together for a while. Once Trump's team did the exact same thing, it became time to "shut it down". Zuckercunt knew it was coming, and was trying to quietly scrounge as much cash as he could before the story "broke"; even though he knew about it WAY ahead of time.
It's a shame he didn't let others know so they could, you know, get their fucking money out.

The "scandal" is because Cambridge Analytics broke the rules and used an exploit to harvest data from.users who didn't agree to have it harvested. CA paid a bunch of people to take some political surveys and allow them to access extra profile information (likes, groups they were a member of etc.). These people consented to that data being taken. CA then used an exploit to harvest the same data from everyone on their friends lists too who didn't consent to the data harvest.
The "scandal" here is how lax Facebook were about protecting the data and enforcing their own rules.
What CA did after that was use big data analysis techniques to find patterns and identify potential swing voters who they could then target with personalised adverts to try and influence their voting decision. It's kind of shady behaviour, but it only affects people retarded enough to actually pay attention to the news and ads Facebook supplies them, i.e. retarded Boomers. Anyone with two brain cells srill functioning has the mental capacity to ignore this shit and so the data has no power over them.
Governments are panicking because they've seen that using data to target the dumbest segment of swing voters is actually way more effective than anything they could have imagined, being the tech illiterate old crimes that most of our governments are made up of.
Left leaning media outlets are panicking over this because the actions helped influence benefit and trump winning and are crying over "muh democracy is hijacked". They're blowing it up because the end result of the data breach was something they didn't like.
It doesn't mean Cambridge Analytics did nothing wrong, but the media wants to use it to push their "Trump cheated the election" narrative more.

Nonesense, in facebooks terms and conditions it doubtless will say that you agree to have your data harvested by such schemes.
You cant say you didnt agree.

Because a lot of people, I'd even say the majority, have known about FB data mining and selling personal information of it's users for years now
The real outrage would be if the people/companies/firms that are actually buying all this information were to ever come out. I doubt even FB knows who they are selling it too. How many users have gotten their identity stolen because of this practice? No one asks these questions though
Carter Hall
Just replace "Russian Collusion" narrative with this new narrative. its obvious the powers that be are low-key changing their tune about how they lost the election because the Mueller investigation is deteriorating and literally noone gives a fuck about the Trump tabloid pornstar shit. Facebook will be left holding the bag on this, just watch.
Christian Parker
This. Sell stock high. Cause a crash. Repurchase all stocks at a fraction of what you sold them for. Have the same media that helped cause the crash bring the company into the public's attwntion and give a positive review of the new and improved service. Its an old jewish trick.
Because this isnt news you dumb cunt. This has been going on forever and everyone already knew about it. Also no one here is dumb enough to use faceberg

Nobody here cares because we know that social media is all about selling users' personal info and that Trump played the field well, so no surprise that he took info from social media. Just amazing to see the double standard of praising Obama for doing the same thing in 2008, and of course to see them eat one of their own.
Carson Morgan
The MUH Russia stuff was supposed to be a cover for this scandal, which is going to be a big one. There is no way youtube, facebook, reddit, twitter, google, etc and everything they have access to weren't having similar things done with the information they got. There's also no way the government, which has access to anything we've done online, wasn't actively aware or involved either.
The goal was going to be to blame it on Russia/Trump. TPTB and the Deep State knew all about this whole thing and didn't tell anyone. Hell, many of us knew about this whole thing and didn't really care despite warnings. Russia/Trump was going to be the cover, but Zuck de cuck became the patsy for it.
This was the end game of the Russia Collusion Delusion, only instead of President Trump and Putin taking the heat, it's going to be Zuckerberg and Cambridge.

>swampland.time.com/2012/11/20/friended-how-the-obama-campaign-connected-with-young-voters/ kek, swampland >In the final weeks before Election Day, a scary statistic emerged from the databases at Barack Obama’s Chicago headquarters: half the campaign’s targeted swing-state voters under age 29 had no listed phone number. They lived in the cellular shadows, effectively immune to traditional get-out-the-vote efforts. >For a campaign dependent on a big youth turnout, this could have been a crisis. But the Obama team had a solution in place: a Facebook application that will transform the way campaigns are conducted in the future. For supporters, the app appeared to be just another way to digitally connect to the campaign. But to the Windy City number crunchers, it was a game changer. “I think this will wind up being the most groundbreaking piece of technology developed for this campaign,” says Teddy Goff, the Obama campaign’s digital director. >That’s because the more than 1 million Obama backers who signed up for the app gave the campaign permission to look at their Facebook friend lists. In an instant, the campaign had a way to see the hidden young voters. Roughly 85% of those without a listed phone number could be found in the uploaded friend lists. What’s more, Facebook offered an ideal way to reach them. “People don’t trust campaigns. They don’t even trust media organizations,” says Goff. “Who do they trust? Their friends.” >... >... >... >And the technology is moving fast.

FB has proven ineffective for bringing about the Jew World Order, so Soros and his minions are going to holocaust the shit out Zuckerberg so bad it’ll make Hitler jealous.
our job is to get the normies to accept it and to force (((((((((((((((((((MSM))))))))))))))))))))) to cover stories, or discredit themselves by ignoring stories everyone is talking about.
