You asked me to prove a negative.
I asked you to show me the inverse...
You asked me to prove a negative.
Surely you can do better than that...
no. he asked you to show how they work. how they work is not a negative
Oh. How they work is this:
Records are used to make facebook ads and posts.
Votes are cast.
They count the number of votes.
There you go.
Any more questions?
i'm not the one who asked tbh
So the CA data being used isn't any more useful/effective than Nielsen data for TV ads? Everyone is making it seem like CA data was THE difference maker for Trump.
It may have been.
It wasn't necessary to win Colorado, however. The numbers prove it. That's how numbers work.
lol Bolton
Is that pretty much every real FB user in the US then?
Number likely to end up over 100 million.
Yeah, these numbers have a tendency to grow quite a bit.
Russians everywhere
too funny but let's not talk about how obama did exactly the same during his 2012 run. lmao you face losers!
Inaccurate *ding*
prove it.
The people who gave Obama's campaign facebook information knew they were doing so through an app explicitly made for that purpose. CA took the information from people who thought they were just taking a personality quiz. The Obama information was used to encourage users to contact friends they thought could be persuaded to vote for Obama. CA directly targeted the people they collected data from with digital ads.
Therefore, it definitely not exactly the same.

Facebook Says Data From Most of Its 2 Billion Users Vulnerable
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ve-been-shared
I'm skeptical at 2 Billion Users though.
Facebook confesses: Buckle up, there's plenty more privacy lapses where that came from
It's a $460bn business with a free service… what did you think was going on?
Facebook has confirmed what many of us have known for years: Cambridge Analytica was far from the only organization engaging in the wholesale hoarding of netizens' personal data via the social network.
The Silicon Valley giant told America's financial watchdog, the SEC, on Thursday that it
will probably reveal additional data-harvesting operations
as it continues probing how outside developers accessed its website and what information they siphoned off in bulk.
Don't forget, Facebook was more than happy to let third-party apps and tools connect to its services and extract people's personal information, provided punters clicked through user agreements they never had time to read.
Now after years of letting companies chug from its firehose,
Facebook is shocked – shocked – to discover that shady outfits were amassing folks' info via these APIs.
Cambridge Anal. got hold of 87 million people's profile records via a quiz app that poked around on the social network.
Many other games and distractions will have done similar.
"As a result of these efforts we anticipate that
we will discover and announce additional incidents of misuse of user data or other undesirable activity by third parties.
We may also be notified of such incidents or activity via the media or other third parties," Facebook officials told the SEC.
"Such incidents and activities may include
the use of user data in a manner inconsistent with our terms or policies,
the existence of false or undesirable user accounts,
election interference,
improper ad purchases,
activities that threaten people’s safety on- or offline, or
instances of spamming, scraping, or spreading misinformation."

Facebook’s dark ads problem is systemic
Facebook’s admission to the UK parliament this week that it had unearthed unquantified thousands of dark fake ads
after investigating fakes bearing the face and name of well-known consumer advice personality, Martin Lewis,
underscores the massive challenge for its platform on this front.
Lewis is suing the company for defamation over its failure to stop bogus ads besmirching his reputation with their associated scams.
Lewis decided to file his campaigning lawsuit after reporting 50 fake ads himself,
having been alerted to the scale of the problem by consumers contacting him to ask if the ads were genuine or not.
But the revelation that there were in fact associated
“thousands” of fake ads being run on Facebook
as a clickdriver for fraud shows the company needs to change its entire system, he has now argued.
