Facebook is reportedly demanding to inspect the phone and computer of Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie.

According to the Guardian’s Carole Cadwalladr, Facebook demanded to inspect Wylie’s devices on Tuesday morning. In response, Wylie seemed surprised by the request and asked Cadwalladr whether they wanted to “look through my d*ck pics.”




Wylie himself then went on Twitter to clarify that he has been “proactively working with the UK authorities for months before this story came out.”

“Facebook is not the authority here,” he added.

They (and twitter) have a LOT to answer for and with the Brits involved they aren't going to be able to whitewash this.

Lost the big bucks to their bottom line. But hey, we got Nazi's now running around believing they are the majority. Bombings going off against black people in Austin Texas, cause again racist think they are the majority now and have been allowed to believe their hateful thinking is the majority now.

So you go Facebook, you go after that programming IT guy.

I personally hope the USA closes you down and gives your headquarters to working people who can't afford the rent in that area. Start again in Siberia, I'm sure they have space for you there.
