Obama 2012 Campaign, Facebook Data Ingestion, and Rentrak
A 2012 presentation by Carol Davidson of Rentrak reveals that the Obama campaign "rocked" Facebook's privacy policies to ingest the entire social network of the United States. Unlike the 50 million users cited in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the Obama campaign had access to the full network because Facebook had not yet restricted "friends of friends" data access. This "smoking gun" clip suggests a massive double standard in how the media treats Democratic versus Republican data mining.
