So apparently facebook is having another one of its episodes where tons of people are only just now discovering something that everyone else has known about for a long time now.

This time it's about facebook selling info to Cambridge Analytica, who, if you aren't familiar with this, long story short used the data to attempt to manipulate election results and was likely successful at least to some extent. Funny thing is that this has been public knowledge and widely discussed for years now.

Look: here's an article about it from right after the election in 2016:
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/opinion/cambridge-analytica-facebook-quiz.html

That article's almost as old as the fucking Dicks out for Harambe meme, and that likely wasn't even the first time it was ever brought up publicly
