From the description given by Zuckerberg, Facebook users appear to have been socially engineered to steal the data of non-users by Alksandr Kogan a professor hired by Cambridge Analytica to "hack" users for them in violation of Facebook ToS. Then Facebook caught them and got CA and the hacker to certify that the data had been destroyed, but instead the team took the illicit data and used it to run several political campaigns.
That is the way i read it. They first sold it to the Ted Cruz campaign, then he fell out. They then peddled it to Trump. The story goes wonky after that. I would comment further but not having the ability to think gets painful sometimes.

The article states the verbiage of the bill is too broad. If that is true, it is yet another shit ass legislation change and no l;arge company that can afford to fight will be able to fight it because it involves sex. That would tarnish their reputation.
Fucking dumb ass American perversion of Puritan values, combined with some other Christian cults that were not wanted in Europe....

Someone will rocket it strait up to SCOTUS. There is so much money in the sex industry. I am not for sure but I bet it rivals the AARP or NRA budget. Besides, it's one of the three pillars of life. Sex Drugs and Rock And Roll.

The fact that only 2 people voted against it shows more that congress cares about looking good than doing good.

US DoD is working on a shouting will-o-the-wisp weapon that literally creates a floating ball of light that can talk to you (but probably can't listen to your responses.) This of it as a lit up, plasma speaker!
Stay away from the light!

Cory's awesome. I've had breakfast and lunch with him before. We used to be neighbours. He's a really nice guy and I really think he's trying hard. He's my top pick for president.

I only support this if the snowballs are deadly. Last senator standing wins.

Mark Zuckerberg apologizes again for insanely massive data leaks of private user data.
I haven't read into this at all, what has specifically been released?

Loads and loads of stolen data from users taken primarily through social engineering, not only of FB users, but millions of records taken that were generated by FB users about other people. So not only FB users affected, but even non-FB users!
