Let&#x27;s put on our tinfoil hats for a moment: I find a bit odd the coincidence that both the personal data leaks scandal and FB&#x27;s change in wall algo to show less news, appeared at virtually the same time. All this fb media lynching couldn&#x27;t continue for long as long as some non liberal people like Peter Thiel can be blamed.<p>Let&#x27;s not forget that Peter Thiel is VP at fb. If he wanted Palantir to have an app that went under the scrutiny radar of some fb data protection radar, he would&#x27;ve most probably been able to get that.
