"7000 data points" -- That. They're. Willing. To. Admit. To. -- "on 240 million Americans".
If they've been actively manipulating the electorate & recording responses, they'll have a *lot* more than 7000 data points on many, *many* Americans.

But if they had access to medical & especially psychiatric records & exploited them, their knowledge gets far more intimate.
And the story likely gets far darker.

Cambridge Analytica probably stumbled into using evolutionary algorithms in their work - assuming they ever realized that's what it was.
The difference between throwing programs that fail you & people who "fail you" is a subtle one, to be sure.

Oh, & a point I failed to mention to @ericgarland/@gametheorytoday:
You want to take these data sources & again *overlay* them.
ISIS recruiting? Lone-wolf shooters?
What light does Cambridge Analytica's data shed on them?

If #FinCEN has indeed found Russia funding ISIS through at least one Cypriot bank, how else could their influence have been mobilized?

It could appear in unexpected places.
When Iraq's military fled from ISIS when they had something like a 10-to-1 numerical advantage - & just happened to leave their weapons, vehicles & *uniforms* behind:
Would a bit of bribery & coercion on key officers have helped this along?

Could you have demoralized a fighting force & then started a rout with the right people in your pocket?
Especially in a place where you & your Iranian allies & had long-standing ties & considerable intelligence penetration?

You don't throw *people* away.
That's why I was deliberately vague in referencing such uses of evolutionary algorithms in 2011.
But if you can toss a host of programs at a problem & erase those that fail, you can do something similar on human scale w/inhuman consequences. .@FBI

But if we're in a new age in which psychological warfare targets us individually, rogue operations need to know they'll be hunted to the ground.
So it's time to be a bit more blunt.
Forbearance is not vacillation. Kindness is not weakness.
& this is not a game.
