Will Congress ask any questions about Facebook’s Custom Audiences feature on Sept 5 #TechHearing? They won’t get to the bottom of the Cambridge Analytica scandal if they don’t. finance.yahoo.com/news/expect-go…
Whereby the “top” of the scandal was deceptively harvesting thru GSR by Cambridge Analytica/SCL thanks to Palantir talent. “Bottom” of the scandal is how tainted data was subsequently used to retarget/demobilize in 2016 using Custom Audiences data upload/matching/hashing.
W H O I S J O S E P H C H A N C E L L O R ? And why won’t Facebook tell us anything about this equal partner to Kogan and what he knew and when? And why did Facebook work alongside Cambridge Analytica for Trump after having dealt with them as a policy violator in GSR fiasco?

Criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica (SCL Elections Ltd) begins in UK tomorrow. It’s a crime to defy an order from the Information Commissioner’s Office. They refuse to disclose a complete US voter file despite a legal order from their regulator. ico.org.uk/media/action-w…
Meanwhile in the USA, our closest counterpart is the FTC and it is shutdown. Its Facebook Cambridge Analytica investigation is delayed. The FTC vs D-Link trial is now also delayed to the summer. #ShutdownStories
For the record, I won’t be attending the trial tomorrow, but I will share news as it comes in. I’m not the plaintiff/complainant here. This is the ICO vs SCL, the UK regulator simply upholding the Data Protection Act of 1998. Not sure if we’ll see Nix or Wheatland cross-examined.

Brexit movie premiering on UK TV now (HBO in the US later this month). Apparently, it’s a fictionalization first and foremost. #UncivilWar
Imagine casting Robert Mercer
HBO audiences in America would need an understanding of the British campaign finance law scandal that taints Brexit to spot it in this Easter Egg.

First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

(1) "SPYFALL"
(2) There is an origin story for everything. And so, to understand the origins of SpyGate, we must first go back a few years.
(3) In mid-2000, the energy company Enron in Houston, TX had a stock price of $90.75, only for it to plummet by the end of November 2001 to less than $1, and end up in bankruptcy on December 2, 2001.

FB says “malicious actors” used FB search to scrape data using “ph numbers or email they already have” with “scale & sophistication.” Nikulin allegedly hacked LinkedIn, Formspring & DropBox in ‘12, hosted on LeakedSource. These contacts were potentially matched with FB user data.
Nikulin’s alleged hacks were hosted on LeakedSource, “a database of 3 billion personal identity records & passwords.” It’s likely these hacked contacts were matched with FB profiles through automated FB searches to scrape user data. LeakedSource shifted to .ru after being raided.
In 2011 Schrems complained to the DPC over FB apps accessing friend data. DPC made recommendations in 2012 to stop this, finally adopted by FB in 2014 with a further 1 year delay for existing users. Kogan/CA got the data of 87 million FB users in 2013. techcrunch.com/2018/03/24/fac…

1) This is my #Qanon thread for Q posts from March 28 to the present.

Q posts can be found here:
qanonposts.com
qanon.pub

My theme for this series: Who is Q?
2) After days of debate on social media about the identity and validity of #Qanon, I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag.

Dodging questions about Q's identity is ignoring the elephant in the room.
3) I believe #Qanon has taken advantage of recent debates and has (intentionally) given us enough information to identify him if we want to. My dream this morning seemed to confirm that it's time to share what I believe to be true about Q's identity.

Facebook bans Trump campaign’s data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica, for stealing user data wapo.st/2phRGOQ
"it failed to delete data that it had taken inappropriately from users of the social network"
Facebook said that Kogan had requested and gained access to information from 270,000 Facebook members after they chose to download his app. The app, “thisisyourdigitallife,” offered a personality prediction, and billed itself on Facebook as “a research app used by psychologists.”
