If the Progressives are incorrect in this “barnyard battle”, just who will the scapegoat  be? Who do you think it will be?

    “The lid is being opened on the black box of Facebook’s data practices, and the picture is not pretty,” said Frank Pasquale, a University of Maryland law professor who has written about Silicon Valley’s use of data.
    Lawmakers in the United States, Britain and Europe have called for investigations into media reports that political analytics firm Cambridge Analytica harvested the private data on more than 50 million Facebook users to develop techniques to support Trump’s 2016 presidential election campaign. (reut.rs/2pn8btD)
    The scrutiny presents a fresh threat to Facebook’s reputation, which is already under attack over Russia’s alleged use of Facebook tools to sway U.S. voters with divisive and false news posts before and after the 2016 election.
    Facebook said on Monday it had hired digital forensics firm Stroz Friedberg to carry out a comprehensive audit of Cambridge Analytica, which had agreed to comply and give the forensics firm complete access to their servers and systems.
    Cambridge Analytica said it strongly denies the media claims, and that it deleted all Facebook data it obtained from a third-party app in 2014 after learning the information did not adhere to data protection rules.
    But further allegations about the firm’s tactics piled up on Monday, as Channel 4 News, a British broadcaster, published video of Cambridge Analytica executives talking about using bribes, former spies and Ukrainian sex workers to entrap politicians.

    If you think Facebook keeps a lot of data on individuals, you’re right.
    BUT it is peanuts compare to what google is doing.

    And I know what I’m talking about since a member of my family worked for Google as a Software Engineer.

    Now you know one of the reasons I don’t touch Twitter, Facebook or Google with a bargepole, except on one computer that is loaded with false data.

      i have never used Facebook or Twitter. No reason for me to do that.

      Thanks for the information, rofessor.

        Al,

        I do recommend that you use them to promote KE Report.

        I do understand not setting up a personal account for privacy reasons but a business account is different. I would also suggest looking into setting up a YouTube channel for KER. David Morgan has one. There’s a way to monetize it if you can get enough subscribers.

    And although I know Google is bad, I am truly concerned about the data kept by the NSA.
    The only difference is that NSA is run by the Government and probably not staffed by the sharpest tacks in the box. Make no mistake, however, the amount of data collected by the NSA could track and surveil in real time basis every person in the US, even as they walk down the street.
    Just watch the first few minutes of this video to ramp up to date with AI and modern capabilities:

      Watched the whole thing. Many provocative statements were not logical and violated the simple law of causation: Every effect has a cause; no effect can be greater than its cause.

      Mar 19, 2018 19:08 PM

      Examples of the non-sense from the first two minutes:
      1. “Artificial intelligence is smarter than you.”
      2. “Artificial intelligence is software that writes itself.”
      3. “We didn’t create artificial intelligence.”
      4. “Machines don’t do what we tell them to do.”
      5. “Artificial intelligence develops its own way of thinking.”
      6. “Artificial intelligence already has surpassed us.”

      Again, every one of these statements violate the bedrock of scientific inquiry, the law of causation: Every effect has a cause; no effect can be greater than its cause. Be at peace, Issac Asimov’s vision in “Who Can Replace a Man?” will never be realized.

    I do think the Trump administration collaborated with the Russians. When the Obama/Clinton/McCain/CFR/trilateral commission ISIS funding got cutoff, and they crushed ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

    I’m wondering, who gets those pipeline contracts to the ports now?🤔

      Why do you think Trump was involved as opposed to US generals? I think Trump would delegate that job, with just general instructions.

      I don’t understand what you’re saying, Chartster. Could you elaborate?

        oops…just saw the last couple posts…

    Mar 19, 2018 19:45 PM

    It was more of a sarcastic joke. You know,, Trump and Putin defeating ISIS…

    ( when Hillary and Obama said it would be a “generational war”. And now ISIS is in the dustbin of history).

      Just another manufactured boogeyman that was going to overtake the world really!

    Tomorrow is the live PETRO sale in Venezuela.

    (using NEM Token is 28 cents, if the launch works then watch NEM soar tomorrow. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nem/

    The offer is for $5 Billlion USD in tokens, there are 9 billion tokens now with $2,560,194,000 USD in tokens today (299,879 BTC Volume (24h) the $123,469,000 USD 14,462 BTC Circulating Supply 8,999,999,999 XEM)

    If Petro works the coin will see alot of volume March 20. If not if it flops, then russia won’t get repaid, and so there you go, whatever that means.

    PETRO is a blockchain token. $60 = 1 BBL, so price is iffy, see BAN by Obama now to included Trump addition as of today,

    By the way MBS (prince to be king arrives tomorrow in Washington) and the UVXY had a stellar day… so whatever happens tomorow is the kick off for some weird stuff…

    Disagree totally with Jim’s statement that “I never thought Russia affected the election.” What he is saying is that the fake news stories on FB by the Russians had no effect on people’s opinions. I believe that what many see on the news feeds that account has been programed to receive are affected in the sense they have an opinion now that they didn’t necessarily have before reading the feed.
    It’s a different question on trump and his team. Possibly trump didn’t personally participate in any collusion but I do think their could have been minions on the outer fringe of the campaign trying to make a name for themselves. In fact, I think this was part of Gen. Flynn’s motivation……….Who’s to say there weren’t some other efforts until an investigation proves otherwise. I’m in the school of thought that trump should let the investigation proceed and if he’s innocent (could be) he’ll be the ultimate winner.

    Siverdollar, I agree Trump should let the investigation continue and he should/would come out well – unless the Mueller team is trying to find a technicality charge to justify an impeachment hearing to further hamper the efforts to clean out Washington. I hope that is not the case. If it is, there will be mass chaos – but I stand by my comment that Russia did not effect the outcome of the election. The research is solid from multiple studies, including Harvard, that show media coverage of Trump was near 90% negative, and continues today the same. The Russians are peons compared to the US progressives anti-trump influence and media moguls out to make a buck on turmoil and protect their globalist financial interests. And Trump still won, makes you wonder how big his victory would have been in a fair fight?
