"CambridgeAnalytica scrambles to halt Channel 4 expose"
So despite its protestations, FB has known about this since 2015.
“Cambridge Analytica, the data firm alleged to have used the personal information of millions of Facebook users without their knowledge in its work for Donald Trump’s election campaign, is trying to stop the broadcast of an undercover Channel 4 News report in which its chief executive talks unguardedly about its practices…cont…
Press reports on Saturday claimed the company had harvested data from more than 50m profiles mostly belonging to US voters….cont…
Facebook said that in 2015 it discovered that Dr Aleksandr Kogan, a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge, had passed data collected by a personality prediction app that ran on Facebook to Cambridge Analytica….cont…
Even if Cambridge Analytica no longer holds any Facebook data, it may have used the data to build the algorithms and profiles it now sells to political campaigns around the world and businesses. The Financial Times is among the company’s former clients, having once used Cambridge Analytica for a market research project.”

I can't wait to watch this!
this show will expose that. They've been denying everything on Twitter , too.
once done her own profiling of FB users & was fascinated by the success of what personal profiling info could do for advertising.
This interview was maybe 1-2 yrs ago, but I believe she did her own profiling study using FB client's data some yrs ago.
Did Mrs Zuck write/sell the program from the data she compiled from her original FB study?
I recall her talking about this study she did.
I have to find it.

I'll see if I can find anything.
I know she talked about it.
Seems like it was just after news broke that there was some possible social media interferance in the election, but was played down as nothing to see here.(even tho they all damned well KNEW)
I believe she was saying that profiling is commonplace, so not a big deal, that she herself had studied the effects of profiling for advertising.
No big deal, right? 
Makes it tough for us good guys.
