Facebook app for political harrassment

[davidpdx]

Now I know this isn't true, but I would like some solid evidence to post against someone on Facebook. The person posted this link (Yes, it is Fox News ). If someone could please find something I'd appreciate it. I tried to Google some terms, but could not find anything. I know it's pure and utter bs.

1. From the link:

Imagine having a friend on Facebook who matches up your privately shared data to a public voting record -- then flags you for more frequent campaign calls and contacts.

That’s exactly what the Democratic party is doing.

That's what every marketing firm is doing for clients who sell everything from Apples to Zippers. Besides, when you sign up for Facebag, er... I mean Facebook, you resign all rights to internet privacy. It's all in the EULA...

2. The term public voting record is used in a vague way though

in the article. I know what it means because I have used voter registration databases before to run a campaign (albeit a small one). They are making it sound as if more information is being released. The only info they can give out (this is based on Oregon rules) is name, address, phone number and party affiliation.

For the time being I've removed my comment on the person's FB post. I was able to find out some info on the company, but nothing revealing.
