I don't want to take the part of Zuckerberg nor Facebook, but "spectacular leadership failure" from UK lawmakers after two years trying to get out of EU is a bit funny.

Why do you think they are so enraged at Facebook? Cambridge Analytica and the data they stole through Facebook was pivotal for the UK's "Leave" campaign.

Isn't this in the actual report that we're supposedly discussing even though none of us has read the whole thing?

Ok found the source referred in the report https://www.upguard.com/breaches/aggregate-iq-part-two-brexi...

I still don't see where it says "Cambridge was pivotal to brexit."

It links it to something called "AggregateIQ" not Cambridge. Am i reading this wrong?

They're linked: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/31/aggregateiq-...

"Stole" is the wrong word. Facebook gave it to them.

Still a valid argument, nonetheless.
