> Which were the same permissions that the users of the Kogan app gave. Remember that the issue here revolves around the fact that friends of the users of either app never gave permission for their data to be used. The only difference is that Obama did this to about 4X as many people.
you're still wrong but at this point, with all the evidence showing just how different the situation is, i suspect you want to be for whatever reason.
- downandout 9y agoWhat exactly am I wrong about?
- gbhn 9y agoIt's an agency issue. If I use an attributed channel it's like meeting you and saying "hey remember your friend the CS guy? Our company is looking for someone like that. Could you pass the word along?" vs pretending to be chatting with you when all I'm looking for is relevant recruiting leads which I will then use unbeknownst to you. For hiring this isn't as touchy a subject, but surely there's a qualitative difference in these two interactions. One is based in an above-biard interaction. The other in subterfuge and hidden motives.

- saiya-jin 9y agoyou're wasting your time, since clearly in that case somebody they like won, so all is good and all is allowed. it really doesn't matter how amoral and abhorable the whole think with Obama was (that says somebody who would generally vote for democrats if based in US)
