Took them long enough

All the things that CA did were exposed months ago on a TV Documentary made with the help of CA themselves.

I can't remember if it was on the BBC of Channel 4 but their methods (or at least some of them) were out there for all to see.

As a confirmed 'DO NOT USE... EVER' when it comes to Social Media this story just made me even more sure that I was right to eschew FB and all the rest years ago. Social Media has transformed itself into AINT-Social Media right before our eyes and most of us didn't even notice it happening.

Don't put your life out there for all to see. If you do and these (CA that is) shysters get hold it and use it against you, don't complain. You let the genie out of the bottle not them.

CA needs to be closed down as will all the other gazillion heads of the Anyaltica Hydra when they ineviably spring up to replace them (watch out for the same directors people!)
