In a Sunday tweet thread, Carol Davidson, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama, said Project Taargus supported by Facebook in the 2012 campaign led Facebook to “suck out the whole social graph” and target potential voters. We would then use that data to do things like append their email lists.Let another company share people privacy information and they would be charged with criminal crimes and face huge fines...it's time Facebook be held accountable, they probably got Obama elected.
“Facebook executives came to our office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side,” Davidson tweeted.
Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing.
