I wonder if folks think I know about secret privileged information about Cambridge Analytica that makes me say the wild things I do. It’s true. And secret sources have never stopped feeding me proof that I’m not wrong.

I wish I was wrong about all of this. Then you could discount me as a partisan hack. Nothing would make me happier.

There are academic colleagues who were deeply apprehensive about contending with CA/SCL. I was ostracized for going there. They said we must downplay them or we would do their marketing for them. They said I would ruin my reputation for even suggesting CA was worth talking about.

These are people you respect. I won’t name them. I still respect them. I doubt they respect me. Even though they got CA/SCL wrong and they’ll never admit it. Until you see what I’ve seen, I get the skepticism. Really. I get it.

Why am I still litigating 2016? Because justice was never served! I know this to be true better than anyone. True story.
