Former Cambridge Analytica director of product Matt Oczkowski is running both Data Propria and Parscale Digital. Will Trump 2020 campaign be any different than 2016? Cc @issielapowsky tpr.org/post/cambridge…
Cambridge Analytica’s own investigation could not rule out the possibility that incorrect visas were used for SCL Elections Ltd employees embedded in Parscale’s Project Alamo team in San Antonio during the Summer of 2016.
Speaking of unreported CA scandals, the Netflix doc #TheGreakHack that premiered at #Sundance includes shockingly detailed evidence that the company developed sophisticated techniques to weaponize apathy to suppress votes for opponents of its clients.

I’m that draconian dad who blocks the youtube domain on the kids devices. It remains an unsafe product for families. It puts parents on the frontlines to protect their children from content that would never make it to a television screen. (FCC liability vs. CDA sec 230 immunity)
Cue the unsolicited parenting advice…
I think I might favor the idea floated by @gchaslot (yes?) of narrowing CDA§230 immunity to put FCC-style liability on platforms for the content they recommend. Puts a cost on externalities of reco engines juicing the population with toxic waste for shilling fuzzy ad metrics.

If you haven’t read this piece today by @adamentous and @RonanFarrow …hoo boy you are in for it. #psygroup #blackcube #terrogence #scl newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
Speaking of crazy stories about former Israeli intelligence agents…the one about citizenlab nabbing a bumbling former agent in a sting op that turned the tables…
Hacking elections means different things to different people. That said, are we starting to see the pattern? And the same names keep popping up. It's rather peculiar that way. For example, Nigeria. theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…

This is a great video which provides lots of detail about SCL Group and Cambridge Analytica, the founding methodology and history of psychographic targeting developed by SCL Defence.

This profile of Trump’s former digital director/new 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale in @nytimes by @maggieNYT is a shameful PR puff piece - no mention of Cambridge Analytica, use of stolen Facebook data or where/how $90+ million was spent HT @foxycuda nyti.ms/2yEOD93
@nytimes @maggieNYT @foxycuda In 2017 Brad Parscale sold his business to Cloud Commerce and became a director and shareholder, Cloud Commerce fully owns Data Propria run by ex-Cambridge Analytica Head of Product Matt Oczkowski and several former CA employees

"Bannon is pushing for Rosenstein to be fired in the next 72 hours. Now would be a good time for the entire internet, all news organizations, social media, to be focused on the Bannon, Mercer, Kushner, Parscale, Cambridge Analytica, Wikileaks, Putin-Trump Conspiracy." 🔖ALERT
“If he doesn’t do it in 72 hours, he’s fired. I’d fire him.”
thehill.com/homenews/admin…
“The Mercers funded Cambridge Analytica, the Trump campaign, and the pro-Trump news outlet Breitbart. The Trump campaign, in turn, hired Cambridge Analytica. Bannon served at Breitbart, Cambridge Analytica, and in the White House.”

As the Cambridge Analytica story unfolds, we are learning more & more about Trump's digital and data ops. Trump hired CA in the summer of 2016. So what was the Trump data program before this axis of evil came together?

Trump Data Game: Pre-Cambridge Analytica [THREAD]
1/This is about the period before CA was officially hired by the Trump campaign. I believe CA was unofficially Team Trump from before he even announced his candidacy. When they aligned in June 2016, it was not an introduction, it was a reunion.

2/October 2015: the Trump campaign requested proposals from multiple vendors including nonpartisan political data firms L2 and rVotes.

They entered into an agreement w/ L2, which worked with Trump's team "to tailor data for the campaign’s use."
