In an email to HuffPost on Tuesday, Wheeler said he didn’t recall liking the image of the Obamas and clicked on tweets from conspiracy theorists without reviewing the source.
So it sounds like he’s saying is that he’ll click on any link that looks like it’s from someone who shares his viewpoint, without checking whether it goes to a page with a Fox News story or a page that installs malware on his computer. The White House IT department might want to offer Mr. Wheeler a bit of training before he’s responsible for a massive leak of information. Barring that, replace his computer with an Etch-a-Sketch.
If true, it also shows that every social media site’s claim to be able to tell marketers all about you because your clicking/liking history reveals everything about your interests has a big flaw.
