Obviously you won't be finding a FB webpage providing details of where to buy user data by the thousands as I tried to explain above. FB"s role working with and for the Trump campaign provides some insights

And obviously I won’t be admitting to murder, therefore I must be a murderer?

The linked article, once again, provides no proof (or even mention) of any data being sold by Facebook. I have no idea why you keep piling on irrelevant articles.

Cambridge Analytics just got banned for scraping data (stealing..) from Facebook.

That’s the exact opposite of Facebook selling them the data.
