The Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal continues to grow and now it is the Department of Justice who is going after the company, for illegally interfering in the election campaign.

We thought on January 3, that there could be no greater computer security scandal than Specter and Meltdown, but in these three months we have gone from scandal to scandal, constantly escalating, to the most beastly case in history. The theft of data from Cambridge Analytica to Facebook has been the most beast in the entire history of computing. This unprecedented scandal has greatly damaged the image of Facebook, so much so, that they have even had to publish a letter of apology on paper.

Has been put in evidence, not only the amount of data they collect from users and the use of this data, but the lax way in which they share it with third-party companies and the null monitoring of how this data is treated. Come on, it is urgent to put a giant magnifying glass on top of Facebook.

Those responsible for the British website have usurped the data of fifty million users thanks to an application created by a contractor. This tool has been used to manipulate the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and benefit the President-jester Donald Trump. One of the first consequences has been a lawsuit by the Federal Electoral Commission and the Department of Justice of the United States, for the violation of the electoral laws.

This lawsuit has been filed by Common Cause, since the electoral laws clearly prevent any foreign or foreign company from participating in the strategy of a candidate's electoral campaign. Cambridge Analytica would have gone through the lining of the warnings not to participate in political committees and would have given the data of Facebook users to the Trump and Ted Cruz campaigns.

Among the documents, there would be an article from the New York Times, where a Cambridge Analytica lawyer describes in a memorandum how to collect the data and process it, but that only US citizens could interpret it. The letter, addressed to Steve Bannon, a Trump adviser, Rebekah Mercer, a Republican donor and Alexander Nix, a director of Cambridge Analytica, indicated that Nix should not handle American clients, something that was ignored.

Cambridge Analytica is silent on all this, but the truth is that they are in a really bad situation, as they are accused of directly interfering in the election campaign. If this is finally ratified, it would further question the Trump presidency, plagued by scandals and accusations of electoral manipulation, since Cambridge Analytica must be joined by Russian hackers, macho and homophone comments and film actresses to adult
