Hey HackerNews I remember back in 2009, 2010, Facebook was the cool still startup, still no IPO, tech company. Revolution. The social network. Social everything. There was people like me, even in 2007, warning about this. We said, how Obama got elected by using social media, reddit, twitter, facebook. Acting all cool. Was not a very transparent or open election, it can be misused and abused. Yet we, the paranoid warners, were dismissed as "US has privacy protection laws, this is a democracy, never would a company allow its data to be exported out just like that". Now, Trump is president and _now_ its not cool?
