Well even in this carefully spun version, there is this very


relavent distinction: "...in the case of Obama the users themselves agreed to share their data with the Obama campaign, as well as that of their friends.

The users that downloaded the Cambridge app, meanwhile, were only told that the information would be used for academic purposes. Nor was the data to be used for anything other than academic purposes."

Data mining is a very common technique used by marketing. However there are rules about how protected personal information can be used. The investigations into Cambridge are about whether such rules were broken.
