Cambridge Analytica

I hope the genie is out of the bottle and all too late, although there are plenty who want to put a lid on it.

"Now is the time to support investigative reporting. The Guardian and Observer have spent a year analysing documents, working with whistleblowers and gathering eyewitness reports to untangle a complex story around data in the digital age. This took months of painstaking research by a small team of reporters and editors – and has led to investigations on both sides of the Atlantic. We have received legal threats, including from Facebook, but we are determined to continue publishing stories that raise important questions about the use of people’s data in political campaigns – from the US election to Brexit."

Worrying.

A simple diagram to show how they cheated.

So many lies

This is interesting.

Has anyone on facebook actually checked their data stored by facebook?

Number 10 involved.

Anyone else find this funny? US or UK honeytraps must be okay, just not Russian ones.

The police now have some proof of illegality.

They are good, as well, particularly the diagrams.

They're just links to images that are attached to tweets, POGS. There's nothing sinister about them.

Sometimes they are pictures or diagrams and sometimes they are passages of text.

Why don't you just look at one, POGS.

"I think "twimg" is Twitter's Image Host, whatever that means"

Thanks , I could not find even that out.

So am I now correct in thinking they are they are links to the world and his dog on twitter ?

Whitewave has only just learned how to do that.

I think "twimg" is Twitter's Image Host, whatever that means. From a position of complete ignorance on the subject, I gather it's a way of finding images that have been posted on Twitter.

"But you don’t have to click on it I’m not that bothered tbh"

I'm sure you are not bothered but I thought a perfectly reasonable question would be answered 'tbh'.

As this thread is concerning matters such as 'Data Mining' etc. I don't think it was an unreasonable question but I guess you either do not wish to tell posters who/what is behind your links or you don't know yourself possibly.

Does any poster know who/what is behind the links put up to pbs.twimg.com?

Important things said here by Kitty Jones.

And obviously you haven't looked at any of the posts showing what happened to the money.

Oh, is that all? It's not wrongdoing, it's illegal.

Investigative journalism is all well and good and has exposed all sorts of murky goings on.However there has to be hard evidence other than ‘he said’ and ‘she did’.If there is real evidence then hopefully it will be brought to light but I haven’t seen or heard any so far.
The use of posters data from FB ( without their approval or consent) may be the only wrongdoing that comes out of this,but as usual we have to wait and see.

So you haven't seen the channel 4 News items or read the Cadwalldr articles that have been published in the guardian/Observer over the past few months, lemon? It's called 'investigative journalism' and is a well recognised route to exposing things that people would rather were hushed up. Remember the Thalidomide scandal? That was exposed by investigative journalism. It has a good and honourable history.

She allows anyone to quote from her blog providing they link back to her blog, which is what I do.
Her blog is ranked number 8 among the top 100 political blogs.

About Kitty Jones.

kittysjones.wordpress.com/
She writes a blog because she is too ill to work.

"We are the 6th wealthiest nation in the world, and we have people both in work and out queuing at food banks. What is the point of a socioeconomic mode of organisation – in this case, neoliberalism – if citizens can’t afford to eat and meet their other basic survival needs?

We are a first world liberal democracy, yet the Conservative’s socioeconomic policies have redistributed and privatised public wealth, benefiting only a minority of wealthy people, while our public services crumble and support for the poorest citizens is cut to the bone. So it’s not an inclusive democracy, then."

This is why I follow her.

She more than voted leave

Because Oakshott voted Leave doesn’t make the evidence more or less real.
That cannot be considered as ‘hard evidence’ durhamjen
Much as posters do not like the ‘wait and see’ words, that is what everybody has to do.

It's Kitty Jones, not Kitsy, and you omitted Prides Purge.

You don't really expect me to link to the Times, DM, Telegraph or Express, do you, POGS?
