People are freaking out about CA because it maybe helped Trump target people political ads based on demographic information even though every candidate does the exact same thing and no one seems to mind when others do it.


>People are freaking out about CA because it maybe helped Trump target people

Huh, the article doesn't even mention Trump

>every candidate does the exact same thing

But the issue isn't that ads are being targeted. The article specifically cites data misuse. The same is true in the case of CA, they were not supposed to be selling people's data to third parties.


It was the media freaking out about Cambridge Analytica helping Trump, wasn't it?
