>       Now, Collins has dumped a 250 page file, hosted on
>       Parliament's servers, which includes the documents from
>       Kramer's laptop and Collins's summary.  The release comes
>       despite a plea from Facebook to respect the US court order and
>       not publish the documents.  The documents are incredibly
>       damning. They show Facebookers at the highest level -- up to
>       CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg -- conspiring to
>       trick Android users about how much data was being gathered by
>       an update to the Facebook app; to give certain companies
>       "whitelisted" access to user data beyond the access the
>       company had disclosed to its users; to explicitly productize
>       "friends" data (that is, to allow the trick Cambridge
>       Analytica pulled, when getting a user to grant permission to
>       their own data also allowed a company to access their friends'
>       data); to use the Onavo battery-monitor app to covertly gather
>       data on which other apps users had installed; and
>       anti-competitive targeting of partners' apps.
