Did Facebook Break The Law To Help Obama Get Reelected? (IS MARK ZUCKERBERG CREEPY?)

There was a time when an obviously rhetorical question could be addressed with the ultimate rhetorical question, "Is the Pope Catholic?" The Communist pope, however, might be Catholic in name only. But yes, MZ is irrefutably creepy.

Investors.com makes an airtight case that the Obama campaign accepted a payment in kind that, coupled with millions of illegal votes, helped Barry Soetoro retain residency in the White House for another four years. The payment in technical assistance was tantamount to a priceless political donation. To say Facebook and Obama skirted election laws is like saying Pumpandump  Zuckerberg is trustworthy.

Investors.com  goes where the MSM will never tread.

The campaign boasted that more than a million people downloaded the app, which, given an average friend-list size of 190, means that as many as 190 million had at least some of their Facebook data vacuumed up by the Obama campaign — without their knowledge or consent.

If anything, Facebook made it easy for Obama to do so. A former campaign director, Carol Davidsen, tweeted that "Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn't stop us once they realized that was what we were doing."

This Facebook treasure trove gave Obama an unprecedented ability to reach out to nonsupporters. More important, the campaign could deliver carefully targeted campaign messages disguised as messages from friends to millions of Facebook users.

Another article from Investors.com:

In contrast, the Obama campaign's use of Facebook was massive, and even more intrusive. About a million people let the campaign gather not only data on themselves, but on all their friends, who didn't know their data was being harvested as well — a number that could easily have reached 190 million, which, at the time, was about equal to every active Facebook user in the U.S.

Obama's tech gurus were able to match this rich treasure trove of personal data — likes, dislikes, photos, etc. — with other databases, creating the largest and most detailed profiles on voters ever assembled.

And the campaign aggressively used its unique access to influence millions of people the campaign identified as "persuadable," sending them highly targeted campaign messages that appeared to come from their Facebook friends, rather than the Obama campaign.

The hypocrisy of the Left is surpassed only by the duplicity of its leaders. MZ dumped most of his FB stock recently. Pity the damn fools who thought they were investing in a company with long-term value. Is Facebook a classic pump and dump? Is Mark Zuckerberg creepy?
