Re: Elvis has left the building
Looking at that article the only word that springs to mind is "circus".
Have we really seen so much fake news that we now accept this bullshit? That's what it is and to call it any other name is insulting to bulls.
How does it take seven hours to realise that there is no data on the premises and never was?
Here's the logic. You are running queries against a data set of potentially 50 million users, what server do you need for that and how much disk space is required? Do we believe they could fit it in an office in London? Lets not be stupid, it's in a cloud instance somewhere or at a proper data centre. Maybe they didn't need to collect all the data and had a deal with Facebook where they could target people directly through Facebook while paying for the privilege. That makes much more sense.
