Controversy continues to swirl around how the consulting firm Cambridge Analytica obtained personal data from over 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge and used it to target ads to individuals in an effort to help Donald Trump be elected president in 2016.

But a more serious case of apparent misconduct involves Facebook data going to a different presidential campaign—this time in 2012. In this case, which is getting far less attention, Facebook reportedly voluntarily provided data on millions of its users to the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama.

If true, such action by Facebook may constitute a major violation of federal campaign finance law as an illegal corporate campaign contribution. The matter should be investigated by the Federal Election Commission—an agency I am quite familiar with, because I served as one of its commissioners from 2006 to 2007. The commission enforces campaign finance laws for congressional and presidential elections.

A federal law bans corporations from making “direct or indirect” contributions to federal candidates. That ban extends beyond cash contributions to “any services, or anything of value.” In other words, corporations cannot provide federal candidates with free services of any kind.

Under the Federal Election Commission’s regulations, “anything of value” includes any “in-kind contribution.” For example, if a corporation decided to offer a presidential candidate free office space, that would violate federal law.

Corporations can certainly offer their services, including office space, to federal campaigns. But the campaigns are required to pay the fair market value for such services or rental properties.

According to Carol Davidsen, the former media director for Obama for America, Facebook gave the 2012 Obama campaign direct access to the personal data of Facebook users in violation of its internal rules, making a special exception for the campaign.

You really hate it when all these grenades blow up in your faces don't ya?

If Trump did this, it is deplorable to the very core and I call for his immediate impeachment.

However, if Obama did this, I completely fail to comprehend what the problem is or why its even an issue worthy of mention.

You're creating conspiracy threats using an alt-right fake news publication as your source.

You pushed the pizzagate conspiracies, 911 conspiracy and no moon landing conspiracy here you have no standing here or in logical reality.

You're like the guy at the race horses who's lost 20 times in a row and who's telling us you know this one's the real one who's going to win. Fucking loser

You post no proof of who you are and where you live and what you do you want to be anonymous and you want people here to take you seriously which we don't. You are fake until you prove Who You Are like the rest of us, who are taken seriously, do.

It's not the 1990s you can't be anonymous and be taken seriously it's 2018 you old crusty bitch.

You forgot his idiotic claim that Mueller was not ever investigating the Donald but was instead investigating Hillary. The man is simply a nut case.

Deflect all you want, but Chump and his white house are under investigation! The only ones who believe your shit are your fellow cultist.

Seems crooked Chump can't catch a break.

The Obama campaign created a Facebook app for supporters to donate, learn of voting requirements, and find nearby houses to canvass. The app asked users’ permission to scan their photos, friends lists, and news feeds. Most users complied.

The people signing up knew the data they were handing over would be used to support a political campaign. Their friends, however, did not.

The people who downloaded the app used by Cambridge Analytica did not know their data would be used to aid any political campaigns. The app was billed as a personality quiz that would be used by Cambridge University researchers.

This bullshit was revealed by the Obama Campaign media director. I posted about her tweets a week or two ago.... In fact she claims the campaign had the profiles of everyone on facebook within the US. And she bragged about the DNC being the only one's who have it.

Cambridge Analytica didn't break any laws. As webmasters most people here should understand what they did.

On the other hand, Zuckerberg gave the Obama campaign full access.. The campaign didn't come up with the app/idea. The app/idea was given to them and they were shown how to use it... They then used it to collect the data on all US citizens on facebook.

I use EVERY new source.. Not just those who have my view point. How many times have I posted CNN or whatever only for you to come along and say some stupid shit like "i thought CNN was fake news"

The difference comes in on how it's interpreted. The Washington Post mentioned this story.. Yet they say "Obama campaign didn't break any facebook rules and used the data properly"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...=.2743f0f46856

Besides the fact they did the same thing Cambridge did. They fail to mention the election laws they broke. As MFCT mentioned "Obama did no wrong, Trump is bad."

Forget the original article domain name... The person who wrote the article was a federal election commissioner.
