What happened in UK court today when my wonderful wigged lawyer took Cambridge Analytica’s dodgy administrators to task? @NicoHines breaks it down in plain English. (fixed link) thedailybeast.com/cambridge-anal…

If we hadn’t requested data we wouldn’t have proven it was processed in UK, subject to their laws. If we hadn’t challenged liquidation it would’ve been rubber stamped. Then House Judiciary wouldn’t have been able to include CA and SCL on their recent list. judiciary.house.gov/story-type/let…
I may be girding for a bruising loss. My loss and crushing costs may discourage others from pursuing private citizen action in other situations. We accomplished things that the government could not have achieved without parallel private action. It’s why I really hope we win this.
