1. From the just released DCMS report (UK):

‘The transformation of Cambridge Analytica into Emerdata illustrates how easy it is for discredited companies to reinvent themselves and potentially use the same data and the same tactics to undermine governments, including in the UK’
‘We recommended that “the National Crime Agency, if it is not already, should investigate the connections between the company SCL Elections Ltd and Emerdata’
Emerdata officers include: Jennifer Mercer, Rebekah Anne Mercer (daughters of Robert Mercer.)

As well as Julian Wheatleand, Alexander Nix (resigned,) Alexander Taylor (resigned.)

Stealing elections has consequences.

The entire report is here and includes the Internet Research Agency (Russian interference in elections,) Facebook, AIQ (thanks to @VickerySec )

It also looks at the international passport scheme by Henley & Partners, who worked with SCL.

Important contributions to this final report came from many people internationally, but I would like to recognize @carolecadwalla @profcarroll @EmmaLBriant for their persistence. ☺️
@podehaye did the initial (and indepth) research on SCL across mutiple countries.
Surkov: ‘Foreign politicians blame Russia for meddling in elections and referenda all over the planet. In fact, it’s even more serious than that: Russia is meddling in their brains and they don’t know what to do with their changed consciousness’

1.

Let’s play a game, laying out interesting dates, events and comments that occurred over a few short weeks in August of 2016.

As @emptywheel commented, Manafort gave Kilimnik 75 pages of polling data on August 2, 2016.
2.
Researchers picked up unusual data activity at Trump Tower servers (communicating with Alfa Bank.)

Tea Leaves and colleagues graphed the activity. Notice the spike around August 3, 2016.
3.
@emlas tracks links and the information found in them. She has put extraordinary effort into tracking.

She noticed a sudden change in Trump’s Twitter ads August 5-12, 2016. Specific targeting was added: Bernie supporters, Evangelicals etc.

‘The summer of 2016, STONE spoke to senior Trump Campaign officials about Organization 1 & information it might have had that would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign. STONE was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1.’
Members of the Trump campaign will likely be caught up in Mueller’s net.

After a recent Meeting, the Kochs are now going after K-12 schools in 5 unnamed states, targeting 5 million students.

‘private school scholarships, charter schools and online learning could be important avenues to reform failing schools’

If the Kochs being in involved in K-12 education doesn’t alarm you, read this:

Me for @BylineTimes on just some of the many revelations from @DamianCollins and @CommonsCMS landmark final report on Disinformation - especially what it reveals about the Trump Russia Brexit connection bylinetimes.com/2019/02/18/exp…
As @DavidLammy says of the explosive #DCMS report “the scale and depth of malicious disinformation and foreign interference this report uncovers demands an urgent response from the Prime Minister on behalf of the British government.”
“It is now blindingly obvious that we need a criminal investigation – equivalent to the US’ Mueller inquiry – to investigate any possible links between the 2016 Leave campaign, Donald Trump’s campaign team and Russia,” @DavidLammy told the @BylineTimes

Facebook deliberately broke privacy and competition law and should urgently be subject to statutory regulation, according to a devastating parliamentary report denouncing the company and its executives as “digital gangsters” theguardian.com/technology/201… @karaswisher
“Democracy is at risk from the malicious and relentless targeting of citizens with disinformation and personalised ‘dark adverts’ from unidentifiable sources, delivered through the major social media platforms we use every day,” warned the committee’s chairman, Damian Collins.
The report: Accuses Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s co-founder and chief executive, of contempt for parliament in refusing three separate demands for him to give evidence, instead sending junior employees unable to answer the committee’s questions.

@carolecadwalla The Playtika gambling app, a Cambridge Analytica creditor, was also given extended access to FB Friend data.
@carolecadwalla @WendySiegelman @LouiseMensch @TrueFactsStated @maddow The Philanthropy Roundtable Culture of Freedom Initiative is another Cambridge Analytica creditor: “Through COFI, 430 churches & nonprofits in 3 test cities have access to breakthrough data & micro-targeting technology”
@carolecadwalla @WendySiegelman @LouiseMensch @TrueFactsStated @maddow COFI, a CA creditor using FB data, is “combining policy research with microtargeted marketing to try to change behavior. ‘Microtargeted marketing has long existed in the commercial world, the political world. It is even used in the intelligence world.” philanthropyroundtable.org/philanthropy-m…

What happened at Cambridge Analytica was not an accident. It was deliberate and exploitative:
Facebook’s 2017 Privacy Audit did not catch Cambridge Analytica: wired.com/story/facebook…

UK Parliament wants Zuck to answer at least 39 questions under oath:

What exactly does Zuckerberg mean when he says users own our own data?
“2.2 billion people who use Facebook would love to cash a check from the company, but the sad truth is that this is nothing but a pipe dream. It suggests that this isn't Facebook's problem to solve, it's yours, and that doesn't sound like a fair deal.”
