The point you are missing is that there was no cambridge analytica app and nobody opted into it an app that doesn't and didn't exist. They opted into a completely different app that datamined it for completely unrelated purposes and then, much later, sold off to CA which used it to target people. one was on the up and up and one was CA. Again, if trump did what obama did on the level it would have been fair game. they were shady and used shady tactics and shadily acquired data. Not a single person that opted into the koger app thinking it was a political app but people that used the obama app knew what they were getting into.
- vokep 9y agoThe point you're missing is most affected users didn't download anything, and were simply friends of someone who did. (OFA or Krogers app) The distinction you make of OFA being on the up and up and CA not is valid, but doesn't mean suddenly OFA is on a completely different level. There still was a massive amount of data sucked up without consent.
- weaksauce 9y ago> The distinction you make of OFA being on the up and up and CA not is valid bullshit. plain and simple. you are falsely making those two equivalent.
