Zuckerberg/2020 and Facebook/Russia. The appalling vista is

What do Facebook know and when did they know it ?

When did Zuckerberg know about Russian interference, using Facebook, and why did he sit on his hands ?

Zuckerberg has been putting out noises of a 2020 run, but his company's inaction in 2016 (and denials up to last week), will come back to haunt him. Perhaps he saw exactly how the Russians worked the data from Facebook, and plans to do the same ?

What was admitted last week WILL be the tip of the iceberg, and the hard questions will be asked whether Facebook knowingly withheld that information from Federal authorities because of the revenue it was bringing in.

One other thing, one would have assumed with in a young Tech company, that there would have been supporters of the Democratic Party who knew what was going on.

Yahoo, Google, DU, HuffPo, Newsweek/Time/Rolling Stone/WaPo, and many of the news aggregators of one kind or another. Those fake news stories were everywhere last year.

developing more and more. A social media platform that reaches 200m Americans, may turn out to be an equally big story as the "Collusion".
