Cambridge Analytica & associates

Up to their necks in a story brewing nicely on twitter, currently developing under Carol Cadwalladr. In brief, she's taken receipt of a 180 page data drop showing almost every prominent right wing name you can think of up to their necks in illegal doings regarding the 2016 Trump election and brexit. And the names? We're talking Trump, Cummings, Bannon, Aaron Banks, Farage, the Barclay brothers, a couple of dodgy Russian secret agents and more. I just hope she has some decent protection.
 
I thought this was all done and dusted because Brendan O'Neill said so?


To me, why its important to keep the pressure on is it's never innocent people who brag and boast every time a legal decision or political report seemingly goes in their favour, which was what happened with the 'mark your own homework' report published last week.

The big carpet and brush will be getting readied as I type.....expect the RWM to start their defence campaign. BBC will ignore it altogether, Corbyns' name will be dragged up, few dinghy pictures and some patriotic chest beating at Johnny Foreigner and the EU behaving appallingly...........should do the trick keep the gammons and sheep happy.(y)
 
There’s always a funny smell when people in the pay or influence of a foreign power accuse others of being unpatriotic when they take a counter view, see the Brexit referendum as an example, those in charge of such campaigns know the value of such notions to many people and exploit them willingly, but there’s no metric to measure how much you love your country, it’s a concept based on an exceptionality that doesn’t exist.

Just read through the past day or two's posts. Makes some pretty damning reading especially the link between both Leave parties, CA and Trump. The question is, will anything be done about it?

That's the problem Jos. Joe Public no longer seems to care about honesty or being screwed over. We can only hope that somehow the judicial system prevails but seeing as those at the very top of it are close allies of HM Government, I won't hold my breath. I wonder if The Good Law Project might get involved?

As long as they get their own way some people will excuse anything. The objection to
a confirmatory referendum was, for a lot of people, nothing to do with democracy. It was about getting their own way. Same goes for this stuff.

Politicians can be as crooked as they like, as long as they promise to deliver what people want to hear. Your more hardcore brexiter doesn't care how they won the referendum or what lies were told. In fact they'll kid themselves that theres been no dodgy stuff happening at all because that'll mean they lose the "moral high grand" (in their heads anyway). They "won" that's all that counts. Same goes for Trump and the nutjobs that lap up every lie that comes out of his mouth.

The level of delusion has got a point now where a lot of the key players don't even bother to try and be clever or spin things. They just tell massive lies that are easily disproven because they know enough people either don't care or incredibly will believe them anyway. Trump has whipped up his supporters into such a state of paranoia I don't think there's anything that'll convince them he's anything other than the best president/stable genius ever.
 
his losing the Judiciary, the civil service & the Anglican church.

just like Republican senators supporting the Democrats, its absolutely unprecedented.

There's a pattern though isn't there? It's anyone who might scrutinise or provide checks and balances to what they're doing. They hate it. The country is being run by a handful of individuals who think they aren't accountable to anyone. Even some of the Cabinet are out of the loop.

Ditto Trump & his minions...it's a carbon copy - stuffing any body that has oversight with their lackeys.
 
Apparently Ms Denham doesn't quite agree with Carole Cadawalladr - at least on Cambridge Analytica (SLC/CA).

"From my review of the materials recovered by the investigation I have found no further evidence to change my earlier view that SCL/CA were not involved in the EU referendum campaign in the UK - beyond some initial enquiries made by SCL/CA in relation to UKIP data in the early stages of the referendum process. This strand of work does not appear to have then been taken forward by SCL/CA."

And then there's this...

"We did not find any additional evidence of Russian involvement in our analysis of material contained in the SCL / CA servers we obtained."

They did get involved in the US and compared personal data they had bought with Facebook data. However as Ms Denham said to the Select Committee... “On examination, the methods that SCL [former name for Cambridge Analytica] were using were, in the main, well-recognised processes using commonly available technology."

Apparently the biggest sin they committed was using personal email for some private data, and using Dropbox type tools to share data.

Still carry on believing Cadawalladr's BS if it makes you feel better. Isn't she a fully paid up member of Ingsoc?

If you actually read the evidence CC is in possession of, you'd see that that report is precisely what the leaked documents prove was a stitch up. Still carry on believing your own BS if it makes you feel better.

Have you read it all? What in it contradicts the the conclusion of ICO's three year investigation?
