Oh Facebook. You’ve really made a mockery of the left. To a rational mind, this whole debacle is properly amusing. To the sheep-minded liberals, it’s the greatest scandal of all time. How could one of their trusted, progressive tech companies betray them like this? Facebook promised not to abuse private information, and then they went and sold user data to a Trump-supporting data company! It’s unthinkable.
The same progressives in shock over this whole ordeal have nothing to say about when former President Obama used the exact same tactic in his second election. They either conveniently forgot the praise they heaped on him for being the most tech savvy candidate of all time, or they don’t mind giving all of their privacy over to uncle Obama. It’s only when Trump is involved that it’s bad.
This, of course, deconstructs the entire ideology of the left. They want a bigger, stronger, more centralized government. Yet, the idea that a right-winger could hold the power they consolidate is terrifying. It seems they assume that they will always be in power. This is the danger of living in echo chambers.
While you might enjoy the hyperbolic overreactions of mainstream media, this Facebook storyline does hold importance. In this video, you can see how the hypocrisy of the left has created an opening that could threaten security for the foreseeable future. Just because we’ve been saying for years that Facebook and other tech companies shouldn’t be trusted doesn’t mean we’re magically safe from their power. The video has the details.
