He looks like he's about to burst out in tears too, constantly. Something about him rubs me off the wrong way. He looks like he's on craigslist looking for twinks.
...pardon?

hi Jopious and good morning,
you're jumping around here a bit. at first, one of your complaints was about subliminal messaging and its use in US political campaigns - and i'm saying that stuff has been going on for a while now.
now you're pointing out the illegality of what FB did. correct me if i am wrong (i've only been following the story for a distance, listening to the development on NPR), but what FB did is not illegal in the United States; it's illegal in some European countries, and that's where the lawsuit stems from.
i doubt it's never happened before. it probably has been going on for as long as peoples names ended up on mailing lists that resulted in them being targeted with specific advertising and/or political propaganda.
meaning, its been going on forever.
for Trump supporters, its just one more effort to flog the POTUS whilst ignoring the vast good that he's doing the country.
i don't think everything is ok, though i think alot of us would disagree on why everything is not ok.

You say this is totally common and has been going on forever... yet you haven't given me one comparable example.
The reason is because this isn't common, has not been going on forever, and is a big deal. It is a reason to fault FB, CA and Trump's campaign. It's not "just another" anything. It's a major story all by itself.
Honestly I can't even really understand why you're attempting to write this off as standard operating procedure.
Ask the forum how many people still believe Pizzagate, and that Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC. The results will tell you all you need to know about what CA did during this election.
I don't know what I am talking about. I probably said something bad. The off's got to go right?...pardon?

*87 million users
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc (FB.O) said on Wednesday that the personal information of up to 87 million users, mostly in the United States, may have been improperly shared with political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, up from a previous news media estimate of more than 50 million.

Suspiciously it has gone from "illegal" to "improper"
If your understanding is so poor, you honestly need to read all the articles in the OP. Thanks.Honestly, so what?
How is this any different than google or Facebook themselves gathering your data?
I don’t Facebook, so maybe I don’t get it. It seems like common sense to me that if you plaster your life on the Internet, it’s now public information.

That's not suspicious at all. That's the wording of Facebook's own statement. In what galaxy would they do a press release on this saying they broke the law? (at this point)Suspiciously it has gone from "illegal" to "improper"
It never was "illegal". Only hysterical Libs want to believe it was, and act like this is some new and diabolical act. Shit's been going on for years, and the people all of sudden caring about it would've shrugged, or called you a nutter for suspecting it in the past.
All I'm saying is, the narrative people were pushing was how this was illegal, now it's down to improper, next will be investigation, and I expect it will face into obscurity after that. Weve seen this happen with everything else... its tiringThat's not suspicious at all. That's the wording of Facebook's own statement.

It sounds like you're just making that up because that's what you want to believe.All I'm saying is, the narrative people were pushing was how this was illegal, now it's down to improper, next will be investigation, and I expect it will face into obscurity after that.

Read the OP and can gather your argument.
But it’s a private company selling information that people willingly shared.
If anything, Facebook deserves the most criticism, but none of it is illegal as far as I know.
