UK parliament asks Zuckerberg to testify in data misuse case

I know that the EU and UK have much stronger database privacy laws. I doubt any US laws were broken. If FB had some contract with a party buying their data and that contract was violated then they might have some private cause of action.
CA is UK based and channel 4 did an investigative report where they used hidden cameras, and got CA's CEO bragging about how they were the reason for Trump's victory--parts aired tonight on ABC FakeNews.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy-9iciNF1A I don't know if they have a valid claim to the victory but I know they were a large part of it. Good for them.
No laws were broken on either side of the pond, to my knowledge. The only thing broken were the hearts of the globalist, liberal, scumbags that wanted a Hillary victory, nay, fully
expected a Hillary victory. Just a few years ago, they were the very ones bragging about how they had become Masters of the Internet Universe, while conservatives were still stuck in the stone age of election campaigning. And now to be beaten at their own game by the Neanderthal deplorables. That's gotta suck, big time.
The UK has never been a friend to successful American tech companies -- recall their dragging Microsoft into court many years ago, the charge so ridiculous I've forgotten it. (I think Gates settled.) Or, was that Apple? Or both? I forget.
Whatever, I think if I were Zuckerturd, I'd do exactly what WilliamVA suggested: give 'em the ol' middle finger.
The beef now is not that they collected data on millions and millions of people. Hell, everybody does that. The real beef is that they collected data on millions and millions of people WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. See the difference? No? That's O.K.
Neither does the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, MI5, MI6, the Russians, the SPLC, Obozo's campaign of '08 and '12, etc., etc.......
(I wonder if CA has a Facebook page? I need to go give them a big "thumbs up"/like vote. BWAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHHAA. )
