When you say abused, do you mean that the campaign did not violate it in 2012 but took advantage of the lenience Facebook allowed them? Thanks

- danso 9y agoAccording to what campaign workers told the NYT, the harvesting of data seems most certainly to have violated FB’s TOS, especially regarding the storing of data for reasons other than caching performance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16624506 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16624506 But FB has the right to decide when to enforce TOS or not. It seems they never did so, not just for Obama but for other operators as well. Pretty sure most FB users would be surprised that their data was knowingly analyzed by a third party as thoroughly as the NYT article describes, with FB’s knowledge.
