This whole thing is just a convenient excuse for people to explain how Trump got into office. People uploaded their whole shitty lifes onto Facebook while everyone out there warns you to not do that. Yet people argued that they need a place to connect to their friends and all the other crap that FB-users come up with to explain this shitty move (much like cigarette-addicts). Also it is pretty clear how that data is sold. And how intelligence uses it. Snowden? Anyone? Now that the masses need it they come up with this bullshit story. There have been companies like this before, Democratic and Republican (e.g. Targeted Victory helped Romney, Obama had his Team). The lemmings out there just used the past 4 years to fill Facebook with all the data they could eventually sell to Cambridge Analytica and their friends. Grow the fuck up people.

We once had a Hitler. Therefore any warnings of genocide are just convenient bullshit stories, and people just need to grow the fuck up.

You are perhaps over-reacting. It's not a bullshit story, it's real. Yes, it is just more of the same but that doesn't make it any less real. We shouldn't allow one instance of evil to slide just because other instances have gotten away with it. Anyway from a tech standpoint this might be exciting times. It could very well be the end of $FB. I doubt on its own it would be enough, but if someone has been working on a social network for the past few years now would be a good time to do a big publicity push? G+ are you listening!!

  I am not overreacting. I don't care for Facebook or CA. But people knew this could happen. > We shouldn't allow one instance of evil to slide just because other instances have gotten away with it. What evil exactly? People gave their data to FB and decided not to listen to everyone warning them. It's in FB's ToS that they will sell your data and they did. What evil did happen here? People may didn't like what was done here but seriously they could have avoided it. > G+ are you listening!! So the next big headline will be G+ sold data to CA?

So... you’re saying people have been warned of the dangers of sharing data, yet nothing untorwards actually happened? Those two dtatemts seem to be contradictory.

  Nothing happened that wasn't completely in the scope of warnings privacy advocates would repeat for the last decade.
