They literally sold the data for money. Not trying to topple a government.

So they sell data for money, to people who wanted to influence an election .... But you see that as different?

Yes. Tell me what is more effective. Having a software that you own that you can segment and target directly or buy data from a 3rd party and then try and use that platform which is not designed to influence elections and is also monitored by the NSA.
