Cambridge Analytica

Whistleblower has told Observer that the Brexit campaign was to “totally illegal”

I bet Banks wishes he'd had self-destructing emails. I thought that was just James Bond, etc.

Interesting tweets

Vicky Ford- don’t know it is in the Evening Standard.

Have you been following the Dominic Cummins story? He sounds ghastly.

Now he’s talking about the ECHR and removing it as he breached it over the outing of an Observer source.

How does Vicky Ford know that, whitewave?

When all that stuff was removed from the CA offices in London, it could have been impounded on the streets. I hope someone did.
The warrant, surely, was just for entering the building?

Evening Standard reporting that CA bragged that they had vast amounts of data that will sway the referendum vote.

Dominic Grieve the Tory ex-attorney general said that there is serious disquiet about this case. It needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Soubry said that micro-targeting means that the voting public can be bombarded with claims that sidesteps normal scrutiny and challenges. It is dabbling in the dark arts.
Vicky Ford- a strong remain Tory mp amongst a number of others, said that as a result of these false stories being micromanaged she had been subject to death threats.

There are some very dark undertones in this saga.

CA lies about the work it had undertaken for the Leave campaign.

Nix, in reply to MPs questioning “CA never did any work for Leave”

Banks -one of Leaves founders, said that “yes CA did analyse data we provided from UKIP, but I refused to pay them for the work”

Adonis tweeted

“It looks as if parts of the Leave campaign may have been a criminal conspiracy”

Doesn't AggregateIQ fit into the SCL network somewhere, whitewave? I can't see it on the graphic you posted.

bagga It is a diagram of the SCL group,of companies, their directors etc.

It is for anyone who wishes to refer to it as the story unfolds.

I'm asking because it's a totally non-informative url and I don't like clicking on such as that.

What is that link,please, ww? And what reference?

For reference

How do you know all that?
I was going to post about apps for bloggers, but I see that Baggs has already done so.

Of course, we have data protection laws here and in the EU, but other countries may not have the same stringent laws and bloggers/social media sites could be based anywhere and use any information gained for whatever reason they wish.

Obama's team at any rate.

In principle I think use of statistics from firms like CA is fine. Obama did and nobody minded.

What's not fine is illegal use of personal data.

Yes, that's very similar Baggs. I was talking about Google Analytics, applications like that. They give you all the details.
