What the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica panic lacks in relevance it sure makes up for in melodramatic rhetoric.
Another outlet, Cambridge Analytica, harvested that information to brainwash a bunch of rubes, and then yada, yada, yada Russia! Senators are now demanding executives come forth and answer questions.
Former Cambridge Analytica contractor and now-professional whistleblower Christopher Wylie told CNN that while at the company he helped build a "Psychological warfare weapon" to "Exploit mental vulnerabilities that our algorithms showed that had.".
Cambridge Analytica, a shady company owned by the British firm called SCL Group - and, reportedly, in part by the right-wing funding Mercer family - claimed it could build models that identify persuadable voters by using six key personality types.
On the most obvious level, Cambridge Analytica is another story about double standards.
Then Trump campaign dropped Cambridge Analytica before the general election for the RNC data, reportedly never using the any of the "Psychographic" information.
The Cambridge Analytica story is just another example of how it fails.
