Cambridge Analytica Scandal

Indeed. See Cambridge Analytica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica

Really? Have you ever heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica?

Might want to look into Cambridge Analytica:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/23/leaked-cambr...It was pretty sophisticated and they obviously had access to a lot of Facebook data with which to microtarget people.

Cambridge Analytica was not the 1st time this was done.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/17/obama-digital-...

I don’t think so, but isn’t the entire Cambridge Analytica debacle an issue of using Facebook data to target political ads to users based on demographic information?

Cambridge Analytica wasn't censorship. It basically involved simple form questions to gauge political affiliation and was brilliant. Ad companies do this every day with no issues.It only became an issue because it helped Trump win.
