Another bad day for #Facebook: Psych researcher Aleksandr Kogan who helped #CambridgeAnalytica mine private data from 87 million Facebook users sues FB for defamation. Almost a year to the day since we first learned of the massive privacy breach scandal, which FB blamed on Kogan.

😵WTF animates Pompeo?? His only comment about North Korea having likely EXECUTED people that he himself negotiated with in Hanoi is “Kim Jong Un gets to pick his own team–just like Trump.” Really?? I’m surprised he’s not denouncing the rumors, to normalize & suck up some more.
‼️Pompeo says post-Mueller Report, he thinks US-Russia relations enter new phase. He will meet Lavrov to plan another Trump-Putin summit. “To make it safer for Americans traveling the world AND frankly Russian citizens traveling the world.”
Pompeo’s lame excuse for Trump’s pathetic inability to confront Putin about Russia’s criminal attack on our election during their hour-long call: “Sometimes conversations just aren't long enough to include every issue," Pompeo tells Fox News’ Chris Wallace today. via @RawStory

🚨Trump and Putin talked about the #MuellerReport in a long phone call. “Both leaders knew there was no collusion” so the discussion on the matter was "brief," WH spox Sarah Sanders claims cnbc.com/2019/05/03/tru…
Appalling propaganda remark from Sarah Sanders about Trump-Putin call. The #MuellerReport details RUSSIA'S "SWEEPING AND SYSTEMATIC" INVASION OF OUR ELECTION, yet she frames it as "no collusion." Sick that she nor Trump can denounce a Kremlin attack. Why would Putin ever stop??
Kremlin says Trump initiated the call to Putin. And from Russia's statement, it looks like Putin continues to receive benefits from the president he helped—the reason for Russia's attack: US wants to have "beneficial trade & investment relations" with its attacker🤯#MuellerReport

I wish journalists would stop asking whether Barr’s lies are criminal. That’s never been the standard for judging the character or conduct of public officials. It proves little, but does allow Trump and allies to tout their propaganda downplaying wrongdoing more loudly & proudly.
@ErinBurnett @RepCharlieCrist @OutFrontCNN Reporters also apply this criminal standard unevenly. Every new Trump low is met w/, "But is it a crime?" Yet even after Hillary Clinton's emails conduct was not criminal, journalists never let it go, calling her dishonest. Playing right into Trump & Putin's propaganda assault.
@ErinBurnett @RepCharlieCrist @OutFrontCNN The result is, the more bad conduct, the less condemnation it receives. And conversely, the less bad conduct, the more attention it gets. Bad actors and propagandists exploit this man-bites-dog imbalance. They deluge us, we become inured. While the occasional bad is a huge story.

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
