Who gave the data (what data?) for free? Facebook? Cambridge Analytical?
Iiuc the whole brouhaha comes from 2 facts.
1. An old app (some survey app) sold it's data against fb's terms of services to an outside group.
2. Fb's access rights used to Grant access to the info not only of the user of the app but also that user's friends and thus ballooned from 700k users to 50+ million.
Now as far as allowing political campaigns to target people for all kinds of criteria I am sure that is still happening and how all advertising works...
