Cambridge Analytica

Lots of disturbing news over the weekend, including a president who is on the verge of a complete meltdown, but the story that bothered me the most was the story about Cambridge Analytica.

Trump's data company from the 2016 campaign illegally harvested personal info from 50 million people via Facebook. Facebook has known about this since it happened, but didn't publicly report it. Instead they asked the company to destroy the info.

Guess what? They didn't destroy it. The Guardian has all the details.
