> I don't really like the tone of this article. The linked document doesn't show anything evil; they're not saying "haha look at this terrible secret we're keeping" or "word came from above, let's not fix this problem" or anything like that. It may not show evil, but it does show negligence. (I'd even argue that it shows gross neglicence.) > It's just a non-specific bug report that Cambridge Analytica might be doing something sketchy, where nobody really did anything for a few months because they couldn't figure out how to get more details. When you suspect a client of doing something very sketchy with data entrusted to you, allowing the client to continue accessing the data is extremely questionable. And "not being able to figure out how to get more details" makes it even worse; far worse.
