You are only partially correct.

Social networks were extrapolated from friend data. Cambridge analytica was able to use social connections to profile people and who they know.

That was the extent of it.

You are only totally wrong.

This isn't "propaganda put out by intelligence agencies", and there are not "37 million idiots" who "took a 'personality quiz' allowing the 'app' to access their information".

But he already explained that to you quite clearly, something you should have already known if you were following the real news, and you still don't get it.

But since you choose to subscribe to the conspiracy theory that this is just all deep state propaganda, and everyone whose privacy was compromised was an idiot who asked for it by doing something foolish and deserves what they got, then there's no use in discussing it with you.

Because you're their ideal target and they've already successfully targeted you and influenced your mind, even though you didn't take a personality quiz yourself.
