In total, we found 45 employees who had previously worked or volunteered with the Hilary campaigns, the Obama campaigns, or the Obama White House and are now employed by Facebook, Facebook-owned companies, or the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative. This does not include Facebook employees who do not have Linkedin accounts or neglected to mention past experience on their profiles.
Our search for former Romney staffers or campaign volunteers who currently work at Facebook returned just seven profiles. A search for McCain staffers returned one profile, who also appeared on the Romney list. A search for staffers from the George W. Bush administration or presidential campaigns returned three profiles. A search for former Trump staffers returned zero profiles —unless you count the Facebook industry insights lead who interned at Ivanka Trump’s company in 2012.

Is this a good thing? Or a bad thing? Or a reality thing?
Posted on 4/11/18 at 12:14 am to Jjdoc
Who knows, maybe the Obama administration and Hillary campaign hired people with good tech skills, and those employees moved on to newer, higher paying jobs.

Who cares. If you don’t like Facebook go delete your account. No one is forcing you to use it.

Why couldn't Ted have this information earlier?

You should try on freedom sometime, jjbot

Nobody suggested you couldn't TunaJuice, but that's not entirely true.
However, it goes a long way into the talks for breaking them and google up.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

How do you propose breaking up “the monopoly known as Facebook?”
Posted on 4/11/18 at 12:36 am to Jjdoc
I don't use FB
stop nagging me

By breaking apart the company into the entities that they took over. It's not that hard to understand.
You can also regulate them as utilities.

Shocking that Facebook would want talented and intelligent people.
It's probably a little different than Bush's cabinet which was all cronies. Or it's probably different than Donald Trump's cabinet which is all billionaires, family, friends, and personal lawyers.

I'm starting to think you might be a Russian bot. LOL. You seem to want State control of things like Facebook. Would you also like to have a state-run news?

not surprising that Faceberg is now fully transforming itself into an unapologetic leftist propaganda machine

No, I just understand how a monopoly works and can become more powerful than gov.
Google is there. Fb is there.
