Robert Leroy Mercer (born July 11, 1946)[2] is an American hedge-fund billionnaire and computer scientist, a developer in early artificial intelligence, and co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund.[3][2][4]
Mercer played a key role in Brexit campaign by donating data analytics services to Nigel Farage.[5] He is also a major funder of organizations supporting right-wing political causes in the United States, such as Breitbart News[6] and Donald Trump's 2016 campaign for president.[7] He is the principal benefactor of the Make America Number 1 super PAC.[8]
In November 2017, Mercer announced he would step down from Renaissance Technologies and sell his stake in Breitbart News to his daughters.[9]

Race relations[edit]
Mercer has said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark federal statute arising from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, was a major mistake. In 2017, David Magerman, a former Renaissance employee, alleged in a lawsuit that Mercer had said that African Americans were economically better off before the civil rights movement, that white racists no longer existed in the United States, and that the only racists remaining were black racists.[14]

The head of the parliamentary committee investigating fake news has accused Cambridge Analytica and Facebook of misleading MPs in testimony, after the Observer revealed details of a vast data breach affecting tens of millions of people.
After a whistleblower detailed the harvesting of more than 50 million Facebook profiles for Cambridge Analytica, Damian Collins, the chair of the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee, said he would be calling on the Facebook boss, Mark Zuckerberg, to testify before the committee.

Because most of the "facts" that you post fall into a few categories:
1) Opinions that you think are facts
2) Facts that no one cares about
3) Facts that are self evident and elementary
4) Facts that have been known and promulgated by conservatives for years(especially concerning russia)but you seem to be finding out just now
On this particular subject, you seem surprised that some entity would data mine facebook and develop psychological profiles with that data and...what? What will they do with it? Do you think if anyone has a social media presence they have a reasonable expectation of privacy? Kinda misses the point, huh? Takes some guts to put yourself out there like that, but if you take the plunge, you gotta take the good with the bad. Doesn't the same thing happen when you register to vote? Don't you start getting all kinds of mail from your party's candidates? What do I care if even the russians want to waste their time putting up pro-Trump propaganda on my social media when I was going to vote for him anyway? Like I said, find some way to make me give a damn about this shit

Cambridge Analytica (CA) is a privately held company that combines data mining and data analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process. It was created in 2013 as an offshoot of its British parent company SCL Group to participate in American politics.[2] In 2014, CA was involved in 44 US political races.[3] The company is partly owned by the family of Robert Mercer, an American hedge-fund manager who supports many politically conservative causes.[2][4] The firm maintains offices in New York City, Washington, DC and London.[5]
In 2015, it became known as the data analysis company working initially for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign.[4] In 2016, after Cruz's campaign had faltered, CA worked for Donald Trump's presidential campaign,[6] and on the Leave.EU-campaign for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. CA's role and impact on those campaigns has been disputed and is the subject of ongoing criminal investigations in both countries.[7][8][9]
On March 17, 2018, The New York Times and The Observer reported on Cambridge Analytica's use of personal information acquired by an external researcher who claimed to be collecting it for academic purposes. In response, Facebook banned Cambridge Analytica from advertising on its platform.[10][11] The Guardian further reported that Facebook had known about this security breach for two years, but did nothing to protect its users.[12]

I never claimed there are no “facts”, numb skull! This crap falls into the category of facts no one cares about! I have recently been informed that to be affected by this data breach, you had to download an app(voluntarily)that overrode your privacy settings! If those are important to you, why would you allow someone to wiggle into your device and spy on you? Why would you post ANYTHING on the internet that you wouldn’t want anyone to see? So yeah, there’s got to be some privacy rules with this crazy shit, but there’s gotta be some personal responsibility too
