Notice our AGs can’t go to #CambridgeAnalytica directly. Is it because it’s a British company? America’s voter dossiers are sitting in London and even by threat of legal action, SCL are weirdly refusing to fully disclose them to us. Now its servers seized by British authorities.

Good thing the UK Information Commissioner told @DamianCollins in House of Commons that the UK Data Protection Act applies regardless of citizenship if we perform a Subject Access Request and prove #CambridgeAnalytica processed our data. I did, last year.

We can’t assess the potential effects of psychographics if haven’t even seen a single complete, example of a #CambridgeAnalytica voter dossier. Let’s wait until we get mine back before we decide one way or another.

With a Parliament Select Committee and Information Commissioner’s server seizure and audit order in UK turning up the heat on #CambridgeAnalytica, formal allegations FINALLY emerge of criminal violations of US election law.

Was #CambridgeAnalytica an illegal campaign operation improperly run by foreign citizens? I see a list of names I recognize. British citizens and a Canadian.
Here’s the Republican spin job. Doesn’t mention that #CambridgeAnalytica is a bunch of Brits (and a Canadian), violating election law, aka FOREIGNERS. Never mind that their servers were seized by British authorities. Whataboutism for the deflection reflex. foxnews.com/opinion/2018/0…
STFU: OBAMA’S VOTER DATA SERVERS WERE NOT SEIZED IN A RAID BY THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES

The election of 2016 was a PSYOP. No, really. nyti.ms/2E6xgmD
Cambridge Analytica and Psy Group had a memorandum of understanding, reported in May. wsj.com/articles/israe…
Fact that Cruz’s Cambridge Analytica appears to have sought to team up with Psy Group, which sought to run a social media PSYOP against Cruz is…awkward.
So many simultaneous Kavanaugh scandals, overloaded the system.
- sexual (how can he deny blackouts?)
- financial (how did he pay off debt?)
- hacking (how can he deny knowing about pilfered docs)
- surveillance (how can he deny his role?)
- perjury (how can he lie about it all?)
- financial scandal: the unexplained mystery of the impossible Kavanaugh family finances is nicely documented and explained here (although I do bristle at how it downplays the sexual scandal; again see above on scandal overload) medium.com/@gregolear/sup…
- hacking and surveillance scandal: this piece by @nycsouthpaw is a twofor in that you get deep coverage on both the surveillance FOIA revelation and the senate hacking scandal context yahoo.com/news/lawsuits-…
Kavanaugh’s toxicity poisons an already reeling Facebook, enraging employees and flummoxing executives. nyti.ms/2CpoSwI
Facebook’s behavioral microtargeting political ad business unit is a moneymaker. They all shouldn’t be surprised when the chickens they hatched come home to roost.
Joel Kaplan was sitting behind Zuckerberg for his Congressional hearings. That too was a rather perjurious affair. (Zuck remains in contempt of UK parliament committee for failing to appear.)
It’s a criminal act in the UK to defy the Information Commissioner’s specific order to comply with data protection law. This order is from May 2018 and now we can confirm it will go to trial in the UK next year. wired.com/story/uk-regul…
A “defunct” company sure seems willing to spend its allegedly sparse resources going to trial against the data cops for refusing to hand over all the personal data it collected about me. What are they hiding? Will their creditors tolerate this?
If you’re up for SCOTUS then yeah all your shit is gonna get dredged up. Welcome to the future.
Kavanaugh stands to be the most anti-privacy justice on the bench. His view of the 4th is as warped as his view of the 1st. He’s most likely to rule in favor of a Citizens United-type decision for Silicon Valley, ruling that business surveillance is protected commercial speech.
It’s hard to imagine a future where Kavanaugh is confirmed and we don’t find ourselves, a decade later, in some fucked up dystopia.
I suspect one reason this mega-breach isn’t causing a bigger reaction is that it has no name. Usually hacks and breaches are quickly dubbed something catchy which catapults them thru the coverage and watercooler debates.
Cleverest I can come up is #ChuckE in reference to Chuck E Cheese’s where you get tokens for your birthday parties, in reference to how access tokens were hacked thru exploits in birthday video upload tool. But that’s quite a US-centric reference.
