What has the Daily Mail and Breitbart and Yandex (Russian Google chummy with the FSB/GRU) all got in common - the same ad tracking tech which serves up ads to users and captures their data

The Yandex.Metrica product is on 8m sites, the number of websites using this tech globally is even higher. Adding constant surveillance is simple: “1l snippet records every user action. No maintenance and no manual tagging.” privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/11/l… @peterjukes @PeterKGeoghegan
Yandex Metrica inserted into KNOWN Far Right websites like Breitbart. All IP addresses collected. Overlayed on psychometric tracking tech (like Camb Analytica) and wingnuts mapped by constituency. Trump/Brexit now has an army of activists @peterjukes @PeterKGeoghegan
Slight tangent June 2015 Kaspersky Labs software is introduced by Facebook as the 'house' anti-virus software brand adweek.com/digital/kasper…

Right up to the US Presidential election Kaspersky Labs was the go to antivirus software for Facebook users kaspersky.co.uk/blog/facebook-…
Now all of the Five Eyes security alliance countries are dropping Kaspersky Labs like a hot potato cnet.com/news/dutch-gov…
Bloomberg News in mid 2017 CONFIRMED Kaspersky labs and the FSB/GRUs close ties bloomberg.com/news/articles/… and that it developed software for them too
@threadreaderapp "unroll" So journalists must ask Facebook WHY it had Kaspersky Labs anti-viral software as its go to solution right into 2017 - as this is NOT NORMAL @peterjukes @PeterKGeoghegan
