Frontier Services Group founded by Erik Prince & Johnson Chun Shun Ko, ex-director of Emerdata (new Cambridge Analytica co) - replied to Nadler's doc request saying FSG has no US presence & doesn't have docs, HT @RYP__ @OldGrunt0351

Here's the letter from Nadler sent to Erik Prince's company Frontier Services Group

Here's the document request, which unfortunately doesn't mention any docs related to Cambridge Analytica, Steve Bannon, the Mercers, etc
judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Perhaps recent move to remove Erik Prince as Chairman of FSG was in part to avoid complying with requests from US officials for documentation/information (even if it's not the reason, seems to be a convenient side benefit)

More than 540 million Facebook records — including users’ comments, likes, account names and more — were left exposed to public on an Amazon cloud-computing server, @UpGuard researchers discovered on Wednesday, by @TonyRomm @lizzadwoskin washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
It's an oil spill...

The exposure of FB’s data illustrates a hard reality: Once accessed or obtained, personal data can live forever.

Greg Pollock, a VP at @UpGuard said “I don’t know that Facebook can clean up the mess they’ve made. It’s an oil spill"

washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Here's the report from @UpGuard

Bent on growth, Zuck & Sandberg ignored warning signs about their platform being used by Russia and then sought to conceal them from public view.
nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
This report is based on interviews w more than 50 current & former Fb execs & employees, lawmakers, govt officials, lobbyists & congressional staff members. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had signed NDAs, were not authorized, or feared retaliation.
At critical moments over the last three years, Sandberg & Zuck were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former executives.

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.”

✉️ On 7th February 2016, we contacted a company called Cambridge Analytica to find out more about their services. An email requesting a meeting with Cambridge Analytica from Chris Jones at the SNP.
🏓 Chris Jones had a ping pong of emails and calls to set up the meeting at their Mayfair HQ.
🎩 Meetings don't happen by magic.

#Emerdata Incorporated by Wheatland and Tayler in August of 2017, with 100 shares valued at 1 GBP. In September, paid up share cancellation of 98 shares, down to 2 shares by Wheatland. 23rd of January, Special Resolution, influx of $1,912,500. On 2/13, change of address
to Canary Wharf. Oops, on January 23rd, #AlexanderNix joined. I guess that's where the money came from. Same day, Wheatland and Tayler are removed as directors. Ahmad Al Khatib resident of #Seychelles , Johnson Chun Shun Ko (Frontier Services Group, chaired by #ErikPrince)
Cheng Peng (same address as Frontier in Hong Kong) are named directors same day. On March 16th, #RebekahMercer #JenniferMercer are named. Very intersting timing of events no? @JamesFourM @LincolnsBible @ericgarland @ninaandtito

Cambridge Analytica exploding forces a major question.

Whatever side you're on: was the referendum vote free or fair, if Cambridge Analytica was involved?

Should there be an enquiry?

Thread:
@sturdyAlex @mrjamesob @IanDunt @StevePeers
CA promised results by creating emotion: fear, hope... 'more deeply than anyone else', out of things people didn't even realise they cared about.

Look at how we felt about the EU before 2015.

I mean it. You may feel you've always felt this way, but 3 years ago, hardly any of us cared. Think back to 2012: do you actually remember being angry about the EU?
