BIG: Parliament seizes cache of Facebook internal papers regarding #CambridgeAnalytica theguardian.com/technology/201… by @carolecadwalla
Documents that won’t be made public. No story has more fascinating transnational jurisdictional jujitsu. 
Beginning to see why Zuck is afraid of appearing before a government that won’t display an abject deference to a domestic powerhouse?
Let me spell it out. UK Parliament could defy US courts in a flex of its own sovereignty and publish these documents. They have leverage over Mr Zuckerberg. Would they trade his acquiescence to appear for the secrecy of the seized documents?
↘️MP on @CommonsCMS that has caught Facebook employees giving evidence while making at least one damaging failure to disclose that amounts to a deception.
(why do @carolecadwalla scoops always drop Saturday night in America? Because she’s writing for Sunday paper on GMT. Remember how Cambridge Analytica story was set to break Sat night US time but Facebook tried to seize narrative by banning CA on Friday before weekend headlines)
Because of course the Cambridge Analytica saga is beyond bonkers it is a creepy bikini shot app in litigation with fb now claiming the friend harvesting scheme may have been somehow sanctioned by the mothership? An old article dug up via @can jezebel.com/new-pikinis-ap…
This bikini app killed off with API v1. Meanwhile Kogan & Chancellor at GSR with Wylie, Bannon, Mercer at CA/SCL were granted extension. Purloined 87M accounts. Chancellor mysteriously hired and dismissed by FB.

So a dudebro suing zuckbro for killing his bikini shot harvesting app had incriminating emails from fb while in london on a biztrip. Parliament sends its majestic enforcer to his hotel room and then escorts him to Parliament where he was notified of fines and prison. He complied.
(This scene in the inevitable hollywood adaptation of the Cambridge Analytica saga tho)
