The ‘hero’ whistleblower that busted Cambridge Analytica forgot to tell a lot of the story he’s been selling about Facebook and access to all that data. In fact, HE had access and control of it AFTER he left CA. This guy is NOT any cleaner than Andrew Nix. Not trying to downplay the importance of the CA story but trying to show how MANY people and organizations had that data thanks to Mark Z. and people like our ‘whistleblower’ here.
