Facebook Fraud

What you just touted is literally a conspiracy theory.

Well, yes. Where in the hell have you been the last year. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going lalalala? You're beyond naïve.

You people DO realize that Facebook sold your ass down the road years ago..

They never had mine to sell. I had a brain so I was smart enough to never sign up to begin with. Only dullards got sucked in.

So what? Mueller's orders are to probe Russian election tampering (for which he's issued indictments) AND any crimes discovered while investigating that. No time limit. If you're a fucking felon and traitor, it doesn't matter WHEN you did the fucking felony and treason -- unless statutes of limitations kick in, N/A here. Team Tromp selling out to Russian money? Go directly to jail.

But the claim has been that there was collusion intended to affect the 2016 election. After all this time and still no one has produced any evidence of this (except for the Democrats doing it).

Rep. Adam B. Schiff, who is leading the House Democrats’ inquisition of President Trump, said it “still remains to be seen” whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in its interference in the 2016 election....

But Mr. Schiff’s acknowledgment that collusion “still remains to be seen” shows that nearly a year after the House intelligence panel began its investigation, Democrats are left with a relatively small list of Trump campaign-Russia contacts on which to base a grand conspiracy.

The roster of contacts, some of them apparently innocuous, is a far cry from charges in the infamous Russia-Trump dossier. Paid with funds from the Democratic Party, writer Christopher Steele, a former British spy, told of a supposed “extensive conspiracy between Trump’s campaign team and the Kremlin.”

Mr. Schiff embraced the dossier from the moment the committee kicked off a public hearing in March with then-FBI Director James B. Comey and National Security Agency chief Adm. Mike Rogers.

Mr. Schiff eagerly read Mr. Steele’s felony accusations into the record. Those charges remain unproven, the FBI has told congressional investigators, 17 months after it opened a counterintelligence probe that relied on the dossier. Republicans in Congress also say the dossier’s core collusion charges remain unproven.

For example, there has been no public evidence, as claimed by Mr. Steele, that Trump associates and Russian intelligence worked together to hack the Democrats and spread stolen emails.​

Meanwhile, we have learned "that the FBI and Department of Justice used an anti-Trump dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign as the basis for spying on the Trump campaign."

Carr, Clinton’s dodgy dossier is way worse than Watergate, Boston Herald (Jan. 12, 2018).

So, who was colluding with the Russians?

It wouldn't shock me if Zuckerberg works for the NSA... I almost bet he receives government pay.

Or the GRU apparently. If you've seen the movie, you pretty much realize he'll work for whoever pays him.

Many misleading claims are made. Read the meaning of collusion.

Right, there's likely no illegal collusion here. The crimes we have are rather more serious: conspiracy to defraud the federal gov't, and treason. Throw in laundering Mafiya money and we've got a population increase for US prisons. Will you visit your fave players in Leavenworth to wish them well?

So many people on the Left are mad at Facebook right now because a third party, Cambridge Analytica, might have misappropriated some data for the Trump campaign.

It turns out Facebook itself did the same thing directly in 2016 to aid the Obama campaign.

We’re discussing what many of you have noted on various social media platforms about the inherent left wing bias ingrained in the services. Well, one former data officer for the Obama campaign, Carol Davidsen, admitted that Facebook allowed them to break the rules because they were on their side....

Davidsen then detailed on Twitter how representatives from the social media company were surprised how much data they mined, adding that they 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.”...

What we have here is an admission from a Democratic campaign manager that the most powerful social media platform in the first world is currently lending its untold amounts of data to a specific political party [Democrat]’s purposes.​

Where is the liberal outrage at this?

Both Obama and Trump are in the wrong for it.

I'm a green party voter so I shit on both parties equally.

I've been a registered Green for quite awhile, after giving up on P&F, but I tend to shit on Gups more than on Dums, if only because Gups have been slimier and more actively evil. Dums don't attract Nazis these days. That's a sign.
