Both Paul Manafort & Rick Gates gave data to Konstantin Kilimnik in the spring 2016 - some data was developed by a private polling firm working for the campaign - Manafort asked Gates to tell Kilimnik to pass the data to Oleg Deripaska, HT @painter_nancy nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
Manafort and Gates passed polling data to Kilimnik to be sent to Putin ally Oleg Deripaska

Kilimnik also worked with Sam Patten who consulted for Cambridge Analytica

One of the services provided by Cambridge Analytica was polling
While the identity of the polling company is not known, here's how Cambridge Analytica described their work for the Trump campaign:

"The research team had a huge responsibility in organizing campaigns and polling voters in 17 states across the country."

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

On a bcp tourné en rond ces dernières min pendant l'audition #Zuckerberg. Un sénateur a demandé si FB utilisait les données conversationnelles de Whatsapp, zuck a dit que non, puis une sénatrice a parlé des options de protection des contenus perso et Zuck a tourné autour du pot.
Un autre sénateur (Coons) pose une question intéressante et plus pointue sur l'usage qui peut être fait des données de ciblage (cibler les accros aux jeux quand on est un casino, les ados pour des pilules minceur, les alcooliques pour les marques d'alcool, etc) #zuckerberg
Coons a également demandé confirmation des actions entreprises par FB pour les ciblages excluants (ne pas montrer une offre d'emploi aux non-caucasiens par ex), Zuck commence à répondre et on coche la case du bingo "built in a dormroom" #Zuckerberg

In his testimony before Congress, Mark #Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook "didn't do enough to prevent [our] tools from being used for harm."
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Do you think the average consumer understands what they’re signing up for" on Facebook?

Mark #Zuckerberg: “I don’t think the average person likely reads that whole [terms of service] document … there are different ways we can communicate that.”
1/ Sen. Durbin to #Zuckerberg: “Would you be comfortable sharing the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?”

#Zuckerberg: “Um, no, I would not.”

The hearing is now officially starting, with opening remarks from the ranking members of both committees (Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee).
In her opening remarks, Sen. Feinstein mentions last night's news that Cambridge Analytica had access to Facebook users' private direct messages.
I hope someone asks Zuckerberg how Facebook can claim they didn't know Cambridge Analytica was still using data they harvested, given that FB sent employees to "embed" w/ the Trump campaign's digital team — so FB employees were working in the same office as Cambridge Analytica.
