Can somebody elaborate why this link from 2016 is gaining steam here? Is it because Cambridge Analytica misused FB data? May be I am missing something, do we know if facebook was wittingly complicit?

I'm not a big fan of Facebook but I do find it useful. That being said, this feels to me like a coordinated attack campaign. Take an issue, blow it up, attach various other nebulous bad things and push it to a public that was already primed against that very service. Seems to be working great.

I do not know who or why is pushing this campaign but it definitely feels organized and calculated.

If Facebook is negligent or complicit, I'd certainly change how I interact with the platform. I haven't kept up with the details and would love to be pointed to some summation / analysis of the facts.

The sudden mainstream outrage toward Facebook is most likely because the Cambridge event is the perfect confluence of "Facebook", "Trump", and "bad".
