      Now is the time for someone to create a blockchain based social media system where the end user controls their data and how it is shared.

      Interesting idea.

      Want to be the next Zukerberg?

      "And, as a bonus, our videos don't auto play!"

              Adding people as friends and buying private data about random people are totally different activities.

                      [Cambridge Analytica admits their illegal data and actions were responsible for Trump winning three states](He said that the work the company did, including research, analytics and targeted campaigning, allowed Mr Trump to win with a narrow margin of "40,000 votes" in three states.) and claims to have run his campaign.

                            Because Obama isnt a lying sack of shit fraudster for the last 40 years.
                            This isnt even the same thing that the Trump campaign and Cambridge did.

                                They violated them. They didn't honour the terms that they had agreed to. Like someone else we know .

                                  Really? There were so many weasel worded things in there when I read it, I just assumed that they've always been "sharing" information they collect.

                                    More than just violating ToS, they appear to have just plain old violated the law. ToS doesn't change the legal requirements.
