That’s completely incorrect, as this privilege is given out on a “friends of the company” basis. Hence my citation of the Clubhouse example. Moreover, as insiders have indicated, Cambridge Analytica had exactly that sort of privileged relationship with Facebook — normal people couldn’t do what those guys were doing on the FB Platform without raising a lot of eyebrows. I know a ton about that as I was involved in that area about 10 years before you.

Maybe they had a privileged relationship with facebook but they got the data from a personality quiz app which requested access to user data (which the users granted). > I know a ton about that as I was involved in that area about 10 years before you.

- bpodgursky 5y agoI haven't seen any evidence of granted access to user-controlled private info, from this convo.
