‘This is not democracy. Lies spread in darkness paid for with cash from God knows where.’ Two days ago I accused @Facebook of breaking democracy. @TEDchris told them they were free to respond at any time. So far? Nothing but silence...

I began the talk in Ebbw Vale, the Welsh town I visited on the day after the Brexit vote. There’s another fascinating aspect to this. You know who else went there a year later? @facebook’s head of global comms & our ex-deputy prime minister @nick_clegg

You used to serve the British people @nick_clegg. And you know how important this is. And, now, you have the evidence. Are you really going to just ignore this??

The great Cambridge Analytica Rehab Project kicks off with softball interview with former CEO Alexander Nix. Which, um, includes him confessing to bribing St Kitts politician. "Naive," he says. Er, no. It's "criminal". Totally illegal under UK Bribery Act

I'm sorry but this *is* a crime, isn't it, lawyers? UK Bribery Act was groundbreaking piece of legislation. We knew company was behind this - but just bizarre to confess to it while attempting to rehabilitate image. Doesn't this now put pressure on @NCA_LynneOwens to investigate?
This is also a crime under UK law. We published a year ago. @NCA_UK took no action or even got in touch. It's not that I want to see individuals punished. But actively seeking publicity while pretending entire story is a persecutory fantasy is...too much

Wow. Another important story about Farage’s funding from @Turloughc. A traffic analysis of Brexit Party’s website shows just 1,200 visitors on day Farage said it got 16,000 PayPal donations. How?? Probably a simple explanation right, @nigel_farage?

...& then there's this. Vladimir Putin is now a registered supporter & donor to @brexitparty_uk mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Cheers for the email, Nige. But I’m not actually a registered supporter because I didn’t pay the £25...so I think there’s something wrong with your website.

So Nigel Farage drove along a road the EU paid for to a car park outside Merthyr owned by an Englishman notorious for his ‘anti-Welsh rants’. Here’s the hugely diverse crowd of perhaps 100 people including what looks like 2 women...the unstoppable ‘populist’ in action
Man, this is literally the most boring rally ever. I thoroughly recommend everyone watch the livestream @brexitparty_uk...it's very cheering
It's the march all over again. The @brexiparty_uk has a super slick social media operation but it is really quite remarkable how lacklustre & flat this is....

#Facebook & #Twitter are reported by the Russian state press to “report on their compliance with Russian regulations requiring companies to store Russian users’ data on servers located inside Russia. 👇🏼
“If they refused, both companies faced small fines of 5,000 rubles ($75), though Roskomnadzor was careful to point out that it has no current plans to block the social-media giants.“
(the same outlet later revealed that Twitter’s response actually notified Russian officials that the company’s representatives can’t visit Moscow in January.)

Iran will defy the UNSC if we do nothing. The UN Charter holds the Security Council to maintain int'l peace & security.
Ballistic missiles restrictions in UNSC Resolution 1929 should be imposed on Iran.
