Alex Stamos, Ex-Facebook Security Chief, Blames Journalists for Cambridge Analytica Fallout gizmodo.com/alex-stamos-ex… via @gizmodo
"Stamos’ characterization of the scandal as “misuse of an API by an academic” belies the fact that Facebook intentionally designed a system in which a single user was authorized to consent to the release of data belonging to thousands of other users. "
"Thanks to Facebook, while only a few hundred thousand people downloaded Kogan’s app, Cambridge Analytica was able to acquire data on some 86 million others, all of whom never agreed to take part in Kogan’s research."
