Cambridge Analytica

Very convincing speeches by Tom Brake, who proposed this debate, Ed Davey, Ben Bradshaw and others, but you could hardly call it a debate.

All the speakers were from the opposition except for Chloe Smith, the Minister who was obliged to respond and did so with an anodyne speech, almost certainly pre-prepared, showing no regard for the very serious issues which were raised.

Where are the Tory Remainers? Have Anna Soubry and her colleagues finally been frightened off ?

Look at everything through the prism of the upcoming elections. Normal service with be restarted after May elections. Tories are scared to death. Look at the Evening Standards headlines. Wandsworth is under threat from Labour.

All power to the young energy of momentum

WARNING ANOTHER ONE OF MY LINKS ?

Chris Wylie on how he believes a linked company AIQ was hired by Vote Leave Dom Cummins - and why he thinks that AIQ are a malevolent force

Wow, whitewave.
I hope more comes from that.

Zuckerberg is a coward. Good about advertisers refusing to advertise on facebook now.

Zuckerberg has agreed to appear before Congress, but not our parliament.

Wylie on Newsnight.Once you've seen him you will not forget who he is or what he looks like.

Well, I can barely believe what I'm reading here.

Our esteemed PM's response at PMQs to the allegations of cheating in the Referendum campaign

If anyone is suggesting these claims call into question the referendum, I say to them that the referendum was held, the vote was taken and we will be delivering on it.”

What a fine example to set the country...

Jacob Rees-Mogg said he'd become a Trappist monk if the result had been different.
Best reason yet for another vote on Brexit.

Follow this, Maizie.

Goodness, have you seen this, dj? (From Carole C's timeline)

Yes, I saw that, Maizie.
In fact in the Guardian today is a pullout to tell you how to check what google has on you.
I do not use google if I can help it, but my grandson does on my computer.
Fortunately it's mainly maps and youtube. I have checked and they don't have much on my computer. Have deleted google maps history.

Have also deleted his youtube history. I think I need to keep this for his dad to look at and check his computer at his house.

Thanks for that MaizieD

Cambridge Analytica knows nothing about me. I've done the test on newsthump!

Are you watching Channel4 news now, Maizie?

'Fraid not, dj. I'm not a TV watcher. I'll look at their website

There was a woman going to another woman's house and showing her exactly what facebook held on her.

lemongrove, could you kindly remind us of the massive and unequivocal majority the vote got?

Why has anything changed Jura? Am I missing something?

oh not much - just a bit of blatant electoral fraud ...

that, with such a tiny majority, could, or almost certainly would, have made all the difference.

So are you saying that the Remain side didn't do the same thing with other companies like CA or in-house?
You'd be surprised at who takes your FB data and uses it - even the Guardian does that with their app. Your data and your friend's data. It's in their privacy policy.
I'm sure most people were unaware that this is/was happening, the scale of data collection and how it is used. But understanding this is not the same as blatant electoral fraud.

AIQ was paid through campaign manager Nick Boles, a Stronger In campaigner. It's going to be in the Observer this weekend. But don't read this through the Guardian app, unless you want them to access all your FB data!

The 'fraud' is not the use of harvested data for targeted advertising (though the use of improperly obtained data is a great concern). The fraud is the apparent conspiracy to overspend the allowed amount for the individual campaign groups. Cheating. I am amazed that people, including May, seem so relaxed about this. Well, not just amazed but horrified.
