Mark Zuckerberg Has Been Added To a DC Lawsuit Over the Cambridge Analytica Scandal (theverge.com) 24
District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine is adding Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica data-mining scandal. From a report: Racine announced the addition on Twitter this morning, saying his investigation had revealed that Zuckerberg was "personally involved in decisions related to Cambridge Analytica and Facebook's failure to protect user data." The 2018 lawsuit accuses Facebook (and now Zuckerberg) of misrepresenting its policies around third-party data access and compromising user privacy with lax protections. The attorney general's office alleges that Facebook violated the Consumer Protection Procedures Act and seeks civil damages for the offense. A judge allowed the case to proceed despite Facebook's efforts to halt it in 2019.

The crime here is being implicated in 2016 election of Trump. All these years later, the left still believes conspiracies about 2016 elections, with YouGove poll showing majority agreeing to the following statement: "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected President".

Other than some left-wing nut job, I'm not hearing too many left-leaning individuals saying that 'Russia tampered with vote tallies'. Russia influenced the election through social media? Yes. Tampered with the votes? No. There are more Retards saying that the 2020 election was stolen then Dumb's saying the 2016 was.
The difference being: While the whining and grousing was there, the lib's Adulted Up and actually accepted the outcome. They didn't storm the US Capital and attempt to halt congress and overthrow the election.
Own up to it - The orange haired whiny crybaby - TRUMP LOST! He lost the popular vote. He lost the Electoral College. His own Gestapo (DoJ) said he lost. The courts said he lost. The Supreme Court said he lost. The states said he lost. The only ones that say he didn't loose are folks more detached from reality than Britney Spears ever was! Tucker, Trump, Lindell, etc.

Bullshit. They never accepted it. From day one, they loudly promised to have him removed from office. You want to talk about "reversing elections"? The Democratic Party ran an impeachment based on what they knew was a fraudulent "Dossier". Suck Christopher Steele's dick all you like, but even outlets like the NY Times, which got tons of mileage out of the dossier, now admit that they can't prove anything in it.

So all it took was 3,000 Facebook ads to swing the elections, who would have thought the Russians was this great at propaganda. $100,000 to defeat Hillary Clinton's $1,200,000,000.
Remember this as well...
The DNC literally rigged a national primary election to get the result they wanted.
Hillary Clinton took millions of dollars in foreign donations for her campaign.
Hillary's campaign colluded with multiple media outlets, telling which stories to run, when, and getting editorial control. Just ask Putin. It

Facebook was working hand-in-glove with the Obama people and probably others before that. Facebook and their ilk are the tobacco industry of the internet, they are toxic. But that doesn't excuse the folks that willingly use it knowing the ill health effects.
And Zuck should be held accountable for the damage he is doing.

Worst that will probably happen is he will get fined an amount that he can just find in his pockets.
Unless the punishment is a substantial part of his wealth, all the regular fines for him are like you or me donating 5 bucks to someone.
