Inquiry into Trump campaign data firm

The company, Cambridge Analytica, was suspended from Facebook on Friday.

I hope everyone is paying attention to this story.  This is a serious issue that goes far beyond just Cambridge Analytica. 

As far as Cambridge A goes, they actually tried to buy similar research data from a friend of my husband.  When our friend turned them down because he felt it was unethical, they apparently hired someone to produce their own ;(.

Apparently our friend has been getting phone calls and texts all weekend about this.
