Wrong buckeye vol... Their friends did not give permission to use their info. It's the same exact situation as Trump. Media ignored this under Obama, represents it as a criminal activity and blows it up with Trump. It's exhibit Z of media hypocrisy.

But unless I missed it in the article, the only information they were given was the user’s friends and naturally any publically provided information.

If somebody wants to see my PERSONAL list of Facebook friends, then it’s my right to give it to them if they ask for permission.

The information about it in this thread is from a 2011 article in Time magazine.

A researcher selling personal information that he was not allowed to use is at best a major ethical violation and at worst illegal.

Now I’m not sure if Cambridge did anyhing illegal, but I can see why Facebook banned them regadless. That being said, I’m interested in seeing how they were able to get personal information on 50 million users from the original 270,000.
