No that's false. Didn't you learn anything from the Cambridge Analytica scandal?

Apparently not, what should I have learned that you think I didn't? Because I'm not understanding what you're referring to (of course I know of the CA thing and that it used Facebook data, but that would mean we agree I think?).

I'd rate the Cambridge Analytica scandal about the same as the Panama Papers: the only surprise was that we actually caught them in the act for once.
