we knew that it was not only possible but it was happening. nobody was listening. cambridge got a hold of the data on 150 american voters, and sorry 150 million. that's a lot of voters. almost all of the actual voters and that was a massive scandal. a researcher got the data and handed it over to facebook because they have no control over who took it out and when that story ran out it was like a massive meltdown. it was a reflection of the facebook policy and they encourage application developers to take all the data and use it to target ads and use facebook in a more creative way. it encouraged other websites and applications to connect itself to the ecosystem and become dependent. was policy everybody that follows social media knew this. a lot of us raised questions and got no response. in 2012, there was application on people's phones you could use if you were a volunteer and you could login with your credentials and not only what the data be shared with the campaign but all of your friends would. pretty soon without even knowing they were getting it they would have all the dat

got the data cambridge analytica got from datas of tens of millions of americans, whether that ended up in russian hands but here's another venue, vehicle in which the russians might have gotten data on americans. >> were you or your committee aware of the russian company and just reporting on what they were doing involving this da that? >> no. we were not. and it's certainly something that we need to look into. we have learned a lot in the last few weeks about cambridge analytica, the ties to the russians and the ties to those in brexit, the connections between the brexiteers steve bannon and the trump campaign, a lot of parallels there but this new potential for russian gathering of american data was not brought to our attention, no. >> so you want to reopen the house intelligence committee investigation on this and see if the russians used this information as far as meddling in the u.s. presidential election? >> well, actually, wolf, we never closed the investigation. the republicans walked away. they're not interested in learning the answer to the questions, what data on american

facebook's data scandal, cambridge analytica. we sat down or an interview at a mobile marketing event in sonoma, california to talk about the groundwork he is laying for 2020 amidst concern for russian meddling. mr. parscale: my focus is on the midterms. you have to understand, for 2020, holding the house is very important. to get the agenda of the president done so we have a platform for 2020. it is important to hold those seats. what you see from a campaign standpoint is a supportive role. we are not taking a lead role, we are taking a supportive role. we have money, options, content and creative, things we can do to help. we can help in other ways. that is an important role for us, to be sure that we can do everything for the president's campaign and committee that we can support them and make sure we do everything to hold the house. emily: what are lessons you learned? what would you do differently? mr. parscale: that is a deep question. what is funny in 2016 was i did not have a basis of information. i came in with a clean slate, which i think was an advantage for me in many ways

considers its investigation but i indicated the facebook actions leading up to the cambridge analytic hack constructed with the ftc in 2011 to strengthen my belief that it has routinely violating its promise with consent before sharing information as members of the commission after i have reviewed the matter recognizing the gentlelady from california. >> last week we discussed governing to privacy with the telecommunications providers before they could share with unlimited third parties. but more broadly it is often the case with the online platform and to visit that platform but on that website is that information to allow that third party to access user data so i believe a necessary part of that discussion could be addressing access with whom a consumer has no direct relationship. but with that independent third party data use. >> under the current authority if that is disclosed we may be frustrated to combat that. but with respect to any privacy legislation giving rights to know what it is used for if we were able to implement that as these principles come from 20 years ag
