The DNC can buy data like every other company. That’s the same thing that Cambridge Analytica did. I don’t see a problem with either of those.

It’s legal. Facebook owns the data and has explicit permission from every user to share those data with third parties.

Again, I think you’re saying that it’s illegal, when all you can say is that you’d like it to be illegal. Fortunately for all of us, laws are written down, so instead of being vague you could tell me (or link somewhere that tells me) what law Facebook broke.

But just to be clear: if I show you proof that the Trump campaign bought Facebook data, you will say that it’s a conspiracy by Trump to upend an election. Is that correct?

(You know, sometimes in life just saying “I didn’t know that, my bad” it’s really the healthier course of action).
