But was Cambridge Analytica really adversarial? If they used the data without the knowledge or specific consent of FB, the latter should not be blamed in principle. (And that was no the case) Although being pretty against FB's practices and business model, I have to admit that the mainstream backlash against it have been largely "politically" motivated (as in, more partisanship than ideology). So likely FB would be bashed for this specific reason anyway. I'm open to the idea that there should be a way to interoperate without the consent or responsibility of the primary operator and no way of preventing it by them. Though I don't know about the oughts, but nowadays the desire to integrate and annotate your finance seems quaint in the light of possible data weaponization and profiling. (And institutions are trying to do it whether you like it or not, my bank does try to sort my transactions "intelligently", no thanks). I'd say I would want to do it at home on paper if at all, but people probably[0] should be able to do these thing and others if they want. [0] Unless there is a legitimate case to be made that they endanger freedom of others.
