CNNmoney3.20.2017ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNewsWhen left-of-center Bloomberg, and right-of-center Fox Business agree on an issue, is it time to pay more attention?  Instead of hearing about a possible run for president in 2020, Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg are ducking a barrage of controversy, which is shrinking shares value, and sparking investigations on Capital Hill.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

Some key quotes from Bloomberg’s new analysis of the growing controversies at Facebook:

It didn’t escape keen observers that if the Trump campaign used Facebook user data harvested through an app, it did no more than Barack Obama’s 2012 data-heavy re-election campaign,”  wrote, Leonid Bershidsky.

 

Some studies have shown that Facebook ads can work quite well for businesses. If they also worked for Trump, the CA story is a red herring: It’s Facebook’s own data collection and the tools it makes available to clients that should be the target of scrutiny and perhaps regulation, both from a privacy perspective and for the sake of political transparency,” said Bershidsky.


The flap is reflective of growing concerns that Facebook, along with other tech giants, needs to be better regulated at a minimum, or perhaps broken up under an antitrust action.

In fairness to Facebook, it’s arguably not an issue limited to them.  Political manipulation seems to be ever more common in American politics.  Or as Guy Benson of Townhall put it last year, “Propaganda Works.”
