The Obama campaign violated Facebook's own policy and FB looked the other way. So both parties likely violated laws then too.

Regardless, 99% of the people whose information was harvested did not consent in both cases, because it was their friends who logged in. Whether or not that initial permission grant was fully above the board or used a quiz app doesn't really matter. Your friends and acquaintances don't have legal power over your own personal information.

I see people here asking for examples of out of touchness:

following the misuse of user data by Cambridge Analytica

The same "misuse" occurred in 2012, when it was hailed as Obama's genius and "mastery of Big Data". I don't understand, why anyone would use Facebook — and allow them to sell one's data — but to be suddenly scandalized by Cambridge Analytica's use of it is just blatant hypocrisy.

Carol Davidsen, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America: "“They [Facebook] came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side,” Davidsen tweeted." https://ijr.com/2018/03/107708...

Indeed. All things are good when done by Democrats, and all things are evil when done by Republicans.

If you disagree, you are guilty of whataboutism. And also probably racism, somehow. I'll figure out how later.

Ex-Obama Campaign Director Drops Bombshell Claim on Facebook: 'They Were on Our Side'

https://ijr.com/2018/03/107708...

"A former Obama campaign official is claiming that Facebook knowingly allowed them to mine massive amounts of Facebook data — more than they would’ve allowed someone else to do — because they were supportive of the campaign.
  In a Sunday tweet thread, Carol Davidsen, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America, said the 2012 campaign led Facebook to “suck out the whole social graph” and target potential voters. They would then use that data to do things like append their email lists."

“They came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side,” Davidsen tweeted."

"Davidsen began the tweet thread with a link to a Time article outlining the Obama campaign's Facebook targeting campaign, which she said was codenamed “Project Taargus”

Same, same.

GP is right, the Democrats are responsible for Trump being in the White House. The short of it is that the party's chosen (chosen by the party officials than the voters, to be specific) candidate spent over a billion dollars on a campaign running against a candidate looked down on as a bad joke, and still managed to blow it. Even worse, according to the Podesta e-mails this was the candidate they wanted to run against.

A slightly longer answer is that the Clinton campaign outspent Trump 2:1 in a determined effort to crown a DINO with two FBI criminal investigations underway while she was running for president when they had a candidate that dominated the Independent vote with a much cleaner record, much better intentions, and explosive popularity. She courted the donors and ignored the voters. She made no efforts to smooth things over with the younger, progressive wing of the party and went on to call the Republicans "a basket of deplorables"-- who exactly did she expect to vote for her? She ran the least substantive campaign in a very long time only able to say "Donald Trump must be defeated" while offering as little as she could get away with offering, and recent studiesnow say as much. One convenient excuse is to blame the voters for not getting out to vote, but getting people to vote for their candidate was their responsibility; what was the point of spending that 1.2 billion? Another convenient excuse is that Hillary won the popular vote, but only sixteen years ago it was demonstrated that the popular vote alone was no guarantee.

I'll go further than the GP: The Democrats are going to be responsible for the Republicans winning again in 2020. They do a lot of bleating about Russia, third parties sabotaging them, or Trump being pure evil, and they aren't saying anything about policies that would energize and motivate their base. The election of the new DNC chair was a slap in the face to their constituents, and they're quite aware of it.

This is not the only way Walmart connives to sponge off the tax payer. They skimp on store security, treating the local police as their security force.

If you are connected to two or more, you are likely going onto a watchlist.

Sounds sensible to me, but I sense, you meant to imply, it is somehow wrong. I guess, it depends on what the list is then used for. If, as "Antifa" are doing, it will be used to "alert" employers of the employees' political activities, it would be dangerous, but I strongly doubt that both a) that's what you were concerned about; b) that's what DC police will do.

Could you elaborate?

I suggest getting a Trump/Pence bumper sticker just to be safe.

Actually, that'd be an extremely dangerous things to do.

Good idea. We'll go back to longbows.

No thanks, longbows were used to justify conscripting thousands of innocent English peasants to wage war for the benefit of a king.

Let's not repeat that mistake.

You will personally assure all of our military folks that the people who routinely shoot at them will stop doing so, right? As soon as you've got all crazy Islamists signing a binding agreement that they will only slaughter people with scimitars from now on, that should help.

Why bother with an agreement about that? Why not just stop propping up dictatorships that benefit from most of the people being indoctrinated into believing the wildest and craziest ideas? We could even stop sending them arms that they use to oppress their citizens.

Take responsibility for our own actions. Like moral people do.

You do understand how defense works, don't you? Like how, for example, it took actual bullets fired from actual guns to stop a terrorist truck driver from running over and backing over them again just this past Saturday? Never mind. Get back with us when someone has violently attacked you, if you survive, and let us know what you think then.

You do know how violence and oppression work, don't you? Like for example, how the police have been known to break into the wrong house, and kill an innocent grandmother themselves? No, you haven't any familiarity with that? Perhaps a grandfather beaten? Perhaps some innocent students shot by the national guard? Maybe you heard about this lawsuit? Or this incident? No? Then get back to us when somebody, purporting to stand up for law and order, subjects you to the force and violence you so cavalierly hand-wave as necessary, and if you survive, let us know what you think.

Like Tom Wolfe said, if being mugged can turn a liberal into a conservative, being jailed can turn a conservative into a liberal.

But I get it, you want to sneer down at others because that's the way you've been trained and indoctrinated. Too bad you're blinder than anyone else.

Keep playing your vidya games though, they're sure teaching you a lot about the real world. We really do have Quad-Damage power-ups!

Republican dominated states (now a majority) have slightly lower unemployment than Democrat.

IANAL, but this is easy to find if you want to. Or you could watch something other than MSNBC and get real news.

  18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code makes it unlawful to send or store classified information on personal/unsecured/unauthorized email

Section 1236.22 of the 2009 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements states that:

“Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency record keeping system.”

We now know based on other recipients that she deleted thousands of work related emails.

There is probably more, but you get the idea. At the end of the day I expect that this will all come apart when the old, corrupt Loretta Lynch is out on her ass and the new attorney general appoints a special prosecutor and starts with the little fish around Clinton. Eventually enough of them will roll and she will be convicted of at least transmitting classified info on her servers and probably bribery (favors from State dept after $500k plus speaking fees to Billy), along with many counts of destruction of evidence, perjury before congress and conspiracy. And she knew exactly what she was doing. Both she and Bill are lawyers and he was the president FFS, they both knew the rules regarding classified information.

More empathetic? Probably not. The sex predator couple that occupied the White House in the 90s, and was just defeated, didn't do anything like that. Of course maybe the Clintons were holding that for the 4th term lame duck surprise. That, and a pardon of Bills pedophile friend. Rumors .. rumors

Amazing - so this is the attitude of the average citizen in God's own nation, where a higher percentage of people claim to believe in God and Christ and all that?

The northwest is mostly atheist and leftist aren't they?

Here are three possible law that she may have violated. The cased I provided in my previous comments ARE cases that prosecution DID take place and EXACTLY why an indictment should have taken place. There are examples in there that exhibit the SAME behavior (no intent, but negligent)

I fail to see why you can not see the facts.

Remember, ignorance of the law will never be an excuse that is accepted in a court of law. Nor should it. And since EVERYBODY who handles classified information acknowledges (signs a document) they have received instructions on said handling (refer to prior ignorance statement) the excuse for the determination was NOT applied equally (e.g. they let her skate)

Intent or no, gross negligence (see Title 18, US code 793 section (f)) IS a prosecutable offense that is why Comey did not explicitly state there was negligence, just "extreme carelessness".

For some odd reason this (out of the thousand others that work just the same way) gets the attention

The "odd reason" in question being that its now completely ubiquitous. Not only can you find Pepe material with White Supremicist content on pretty much any trending hashtag on twitter, but hecklers have taken to yelling "Pepe!" in person when politicians are giving speeches about race.

As far as the KKK crowd goes, the meer mention of "Pepe" is now synonymous with their cause. The ADL and various new media reporting this is just acknowledging reality, along with warning the rest of us what this means.

Can you read English and do some basic fucking googling?!

You're either a shill or an absolute moron.

Exactly what Hillary asked Obama in 2008, starting the entire "birther" movement.

How about New York Times writers, speaking on CNN?
During the 2008 primaries, the Clinton campaign spread rumors (based on Obama's own lies in his first book's biography) that he was born in Kenya.
She herself never made the claim, but many people in her campaign did - at least until the primaries were over. Almost as if it was another lie spread by the Clintons for political gain...
