> That said, this really doesn't address either the Cambridge situation, or the fact that Facebook themselves allowed the Obama campagin to pull demographic information in violation of their own polices, which was arguably impacted far more people (https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-.. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-.... && http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5520303/Obama-campai... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5520303/Obama-campai...). But Facebook is a private company, so they're allowed to do what they want regardless of whatever "policies" they set, so long as they remain within the law. If you don't like it, start your own Facebook! (Due to Poe's law, I should note that I'm being sarcastic. Funny that this sentiment gets brought up all the time in discussions about YouTube, but not here...) Just deactivated Facebook, and it's a wonderfully freeing sensation. I can always reactivate it if I really need to reach somebody who's only available on there, but that's unlikely at best.
