Is what Cambridge Analytica does akin to bullying?
“I think it’s worse than bullying,” Wylie says. “Because people don’t necessarily know it’s being done to them. At least bullying respects the agency of people because they know. So it’s worse, because if you do not respect the agency of people, anything that you’re doing after that point is not conducive to a democracy. And fundamentally, information warfare is not conducive to democracy.”
Russia, Facebook, Trump, Mercer, Bannon, Brexit. Every one of these threads runs through Cambridge Analytica. Even in the past few weeks, it seems as if the understanding of Facebook’s role has broadened and deepened. The Mueller indictments were part of that, but Paul-Olivier Dehaye – a data expert and academic based in Switzerland, who published some of the first research into Cambridge Analytica’s processes – says it’s become increasingly apparent that Facebook is “abusive by design”. If there is evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, it will be in the platform’s data flows, he says.
Jan 23, 2018 – The downturn has also caused America to lose its spot as the world’s second-most popular destination for foreign travel, ceding to Spain.
Of course, someone above in these comics have trotted out the old “love or leave it” blather… taking America back- to what- 1972? That was about the last time i saw that bumper sticker.
There are those who love to bring up that “love it or leave” canard… what they don’t realize is that most of us love our country and seek to stay and improve it.
And immigration from Mexico has been down, and was going down during the later Obama years. But Donnie only wants his “big, beautiful wall,” and whines about it like a two year old. But using Trump’s own (locker room) words, he’d be frog marched out with GPS tracking so he couldn’t get back in!

Unless the goal is to keep people IN. In that case the sign will be trampled by the crowds running over it.

I’m surprised t-rump doesn’t want an employment office included for his Mar-a-Lago and other t-rump businesses that he needs “cheap” labor.
