Good news! Judge allows privacy lawsuits against Facebook for Cambridge Analytica to proceed in SF! Facebook will insist there was no harm. They will have to survive a brutal discovery though. So many critical questions remain unanswered and deflected.
Questions per harm: When did Facebook realize SCL was a defense contractor? Is it revealed in these sealed emails from DC lawsuit (Racine v Fb)? How is undisclosed data scraping op related to GSR’s API harvesting/sale to SCL? 
Question per harm: Did Facebook review UK Data Protection Act of 1998 exposure and realize potential for mass data abuse as found by the ICO after ordering Fb/StrozFriedberg to “stand down” at 55 Oxford St and concede to its criminal warrant to seize SCL’s servers?
Question per harm: How does Facebook justify working side-by-side with Cambridge Analytica as embedded in Parscale’s Project Alamo after having required their (fraudulent) certification to comply with serious policy violation (sale of user data)? (from Racine v Fb in DC court)
Question per harm: WTF is the deal with former Fb employee Joseph Chancellor, hired direct from GSR, a co-conspirator in the data harvesting scheme that violated Fb policy and contravened the UK Data Protection Act?
Fb’s written response to SSCI Chairman Burr about Joseph Chancellor. If the Senate can’t get real answers then will the courts pry open the truth for the public good through private action?
Facebook must be feelin the heat because its basic legal argument is that there is no expectation of privacy on Facebook so it can’t be violated. Sheesh. digitaltrends.com/social-media/f…
Facebook better change the name of its Privacy settings to Visibility settings pronto. You’ll also note they don’t have a “Privacy Policy” but rather a “Data Policy” and of course your Advertising controls are not in the No-Expectation-Of-Privacy settings.🤔
Old enough to remember when Sandberg promised to unify all (no-expectation-of) privacy settings so that all Facebook users would benefit from the GDPR. Good times. theguardian.com/technology/201…
