    Critical comment...the core question is then if they did in fact take large amounts of internal data and emails WHY was it not released as they did on the DNC/Clinton?

    CRITICAL and I do not understand why this fact has not been far more in the front page news....

    30 million Facebook users had their data harvested by Trump campaign affiliate
    https://interc.pt/2mTAwIT

    There is an inherent danger of "big data" companies mining all of social media and then building profiles on each end user....extending way past privacy issues...

    This particular "big data" company Cambridge Analytica is deeply tied now to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump WH connections to Russia...and is tied to a number of indicators that their illegal collection of personal data was misused by the Russian influence operation during the election campaign....

    The US Takes On the World in NATO’s Cyber War Games in Tallinn
    https://www.wired.com/2017/04/us-tak...eshare#… via @WIRED

    In this cyber war game, the Czechs won. The US came in 12th—a step up from last year's dead last.

    And many readers here wonder why I keep repeating over and over..we are in fact losing to the Russian cyber and information war directed straight at the US..

    Russia's state-owned Channel One really jumps the shark with this heavily anti-Macron, pro-Le Pen report on Sunday news summary show.
