Flashback: Firm that harvested private data of Facebook users for Trump first worked for Cruz
In 2015 “Cruz’s presidential campaign is using psychological data based on research spanning tens of millions of Facebook users…”
Texas
Democrats and others are now pointing out that "long before Cambridge
Analytica was known as Donald
Trump’s data firm, they were Ted
Cruz’s propaganda machine."
The
Texas
Democratic Party notes that back in 2015, Cruz was reported to have a
"secret weapon" in his presidential campaign: Facebook data harvested
to create "psychological profiles."
Over
the weekend, the New York Times published a story detailing how President Trump's
consultants "exploited
the Facebook data of millions.”
Indeed,
this is all very familiar.
