If FB is as connected to the major players in DC as it appears, why would the media/Ds allow the anti-FB sentiment to spread?

Why would both sides (D and Rs) be so furious with this company?

What happened when the Cambridge Analytica story broke?

Who was blamed? Which political "side" ran with the story and used it as "proof" of election inference?

Did the Trump campaign do anything illegal?

Who benefited from the Cambridge Analytica story?

Who REALLY benefits from the Cambridge Analytica story?

Who benefits from exposing the internal corruption of FB–the tracking, the exploitation, the censorship?

How can you destroy a company as large as FB when nearly all private citizens use it?

Was the Cambridge Analytica story promoted so heavily because the privacy breeches helped the Trump Campaign, or was it promoted because the privacy invasion was the only way to sour public perception of FB in order to highlight the other abuses–data collection and censorship?
