Question :

1. What do you find the most significant or surprising thing from either of the fake news articles?

2. Researchers at Cambridge Analytica were able to use data about people to determine their personality types and then influence them with targeted ads. This was significant and reported on, but they actually didn't hit the news big time until a year later. Why was that, and which do you think is the bigger story?
