What’s funny about this whole thing is that nobody really cares that their own data may have been accessed by CA, they are just angry that other people, meaning gullible Trump supporters, may have been affected.
Something to consider is that your view might not be as widespread as you think.
It's certainly not a common view among people that I know. My view is probably the other extreme from your view in that I don't have a Facebook account for exactly this type of reason.
I care! And I would care even more if they had my real phone number, birthday, or home town. They still have my real name, college email address, actual friends and family. And photos. I'm actually pretty skeptical that Trump supporters were triggered to vote against their interests because of some crap they saw on Facebook.
Name, email, friend list sounds reasonable, but how do you know they've got your photos? Curious; has it been revealed what information they collected?
It’s a ridiculous narrative (the trump thing). Any explanation for behavior of a group that depends on patronizing assumptions rarely reflects a true understanding of that group’s motivations. It’s not a reason to let up on Facebook but it’s always been a stretch to think that in an election with billions spent that Hillary lost because of this shit. Try a simpler explanation: Hillary was a shit candidate who many distrust, and she worked very hard to get that reputation.
