- b112 4y agoNeither did.
- mistrial9 4y agoyou mean when I toured the new Facebook campus in California, with a data science group from Berkeley, and the Facebook guide stood on the stage and showed us on a thirty foot screen, that any one of us can make a map-reduce job in a certain format, Facebook will sell us info on any way to slice the hundreds of social tags and categories they had mined.. that was perfectly OK? I think the example the guide gave was "bowlers in the upper midwest" .. it was made clear that we could make a job submisison and be sold data on those people. Someone asked if law enforcement was a customer and the answer way "yes we do business with all branches of law enforcement".
