No, none of yours is down to hacking. By clicking on page or quiz you have to agree to share your Facebook profile which in turn shares your friends and their friends and so on. The point I was trying to make in my usual clumsy way is that even without this 'tool' that Aleksandr Koran developed whilst working for Cambridge Analytica, our details are out there for all to harvest. Who knows how many data bases we are on and for what purposes they are used. It's only because of Christopher Wylie that this particular instance has been exposed.
@gmarkjwrote:
Totally agree with both of you.
The reason I pointed out the above @Cleoriff is that people are very quick to assume that this is due to a hack when in fact it isn't.
The data was collected correctly, but what happened after that may not have been.
The data may have been collected 'properly' (without people knowing what it would be used for)
However, it does look increasingly obvious that it was used for a reason that seems to be corrupt.
I can see no other reason for the suspension of Andrew Nix of CA
Yes he has a lot to answer for. However from his perspective, he would never admit the fault . It would affect his precious company far too much.
Although people will still mindlessly continue to use FB and I'm just as sure FB will continue to be as popular as before.
