As shares of Facebook continue to plummet amid a data-harvesting scandal - down nearly 10% in two days, the Silicon Valley social media giant is trying their best to act shocked that data from 50 million accounts was used for political purposes.
Over the weekend it was revealed that Trump-linked political data firm Cambridge Analytics had used private social media activity gathered without users' permission, which Facebook said was "an incredible violation of everything that we stand for."
Except it's not...
As we reported early Tuesday, President Obama's director of integration and media analytics for his 2012 campaign, Carol Davidsen, claimed - with evidence, that Facebook knew the Obama campaign was similarly harvesting massive amounts of user data - to "suck out the whole social graph" in order to target potential voters. After Facebook found out, they knowingly allowed them to continue doing it because they were supportive of the campaign.
"[M]ore than 1 million Obama backers who signed up for the [Facebook-based app] gave the campaign permission to look at their Facebook friend lists. In an instant, the campaign had a way to see the hidden young voters. Roughly 85% of those without a listed phone number could be found in the uploaded friend lists. What’s more, Facebook offered an ideal way to reach them," reads an article Davidsen posted as a prelude to her postings.
Meanwhile, in 2016 we reported on Facebook's "political bias" training manual to address their rampant left-leaning political bias.
Emails to Podesta
For those seeking more evidence that Facebook was "in the tank" for Democrats, look no further than this WikiLeaked email from Facebook COO, Cheryl Sandberg, to Hillary's campaign manager, John Podesta, in which she states "I still want HRC to win badly. I am still here to help as I can. She [Hillary] came over and was magical with my kids."
In another email to Podesta, Sandberg seeks to arrange a meeting between Podesta and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to discuss philanthropy and social action, and that he "wants to meet folks who can inform his understanding about effective political operations to advance public policy goals."
And of course there is this January 2016 admission from John Podesta telling the Facebook COO that he is looking forward to "working with you to elect the first woman President of the United States."
The above may explain why Mark Zuckerberg has quietly been liquidating $12 billion in stock...

Facebook COO Sandberg To John Podesta: "I Want Hillary To Win Badly"
My response: Unbelievable!!! AMERICA is so utterly screwed up with people like this lady who now have money and are absolutely ignorant of the EVIL she embraced and promoted.
All I can say is that I would not want to be handcuffed to this lady when she dies.
HELL is HOT, DARK and FOREVER.

I'm not so sure those "people like this lady" are absolutely ignorant of their being mired in evil. I suspect many are actually okay with that, hoping there will be no afterlife and they will never be held accountable.

"She came over and was magical with my kids." And that is a good reason to elect her president!

The only way Hillary could have won is "badly".

Is this a row of troll posts? How can she unleash such a flood of fury? She is the marketing VP for an app that attracts the world’s largest collection of app-using moms—inside and out of workplaces, and during and after work hours—posting show-off baby pics.
So naturally, given that her clientele base is so mom-centric, she used her personal contact with the first woman presidential nominee and aspiring grandmomma-in-charge to parlay into an appeal to her app’s primary user group: [so-called] working moms and proud grandmothers on FB.
It didn’t work, though. Many of us women who actually bothered to show up on voting day have a lot of life experience, either working with or being rejected by the many mom-dominated-but-not-sexist, catty-cubed workplaces, where women are in charge and often meanest to [the women] who are not culture fits.
Except when it comes to back-watching fellow moms sticking together like glue in workplaces, mostly to protect their frequent and above-firing absenteeism privileges, the generalized female solidarity thing does not exist in life from what I have seen, not at the voting booth or anywhere else, really.
Women of all ages do tend to form social cliques, freezing out non culture fits out and worse, much worse. Many female likely voters fall outside of that mom-protection-gang parameter that Hillary used in her campaign.
But plenty of the moms set aside their momism in the voting booth, putting other priorites first, like a more reasonable immigration policy that does not undercut their sons in the job market by forcing them to compete with welfare-buttressed illegal immigrants, willing to work for beans due to free rent and free food, plus refundable child tax credits of up to $6,431 for their US-born kids.
For one thing, their sons are often living with them in undignified situations, crammed into crappy apartments and so forth, like half of all American males between 18 and 34 after 4 decades of offshoring of jobs to Asia and displacement by wave after wave of welfare-supported immigrants.
This is the kind of thing that motivated the Trump voters, regardless of gender. Michelle Bachmann, no favorite of feminists, tried to school liberals on this matter on the MSM, saying:
