They're desperate, ruthless, and completely unscrupulous.

Had they even one scruple, they would donate the proceeds to the Re-elect Trump campaign.

They're not the only ones using that photo. Even Amnesty International is using it now.

   Facebook helped Trump enough last time around. I would rather they get there act together and invest in better ways of eliminating bot's and trolls accounts altogether.

 

   As an aside, I can't figure out why people are still using sites like facebook anyway.

How exactly did Facebook help Trump more than they helped Hillary?

   Facebook allowed groups like Cambridge Analytica to continue their campaigns and use of the Facebook platform even after learning of their fraudulent use of data and methods used to obtain said data. They should ban these groups immediately, not after it becomes public knowledge and they are forced to respond.

 

   Clinton had the same platform available obviously. They did not use it to the same effect that the Trump campaign did. I don't claim Facebook is taking sides, just that they don't seem to be able or willing to respond when their platform is used for nefarious purposes. As you see in the article above.

Nefarious purposes?  Didn't Obama essentially do the same thing back in 2012 to much praise?

Facebook allowed it because they were getting PAID from CA in order to harvest that data, and the Hillary campaign was doing it as well but apparently not utilizing it to it's full potential. They(FB) didn't care how the data was being used at the time because they honestly thought that Trump was going to lose and who cares because they were getting paid for it. The public and FB only cared about how the data was being used after the election when it came to light that Trump's campaign was using that data more effectively than Hillary's.

 

That is what really struck me is odd is that this kind of data sharing between FB and Social Media as whole to political campaigns has been happening since at least 2012 when Obama's campaign OPENLY did the same that Trump's campaign did. But they got applauded for doing this "revolutionary idea" instead of being vilified like CA and Trump's campaign.
