ex-Vote Leave Thomas Borwick requested/obtained electoral roll from more than 200 local authorities across UK. Spreadsheets included names, addresses for every registered voter. In one area, Borwick requested location of polling stations ahead of opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…
Borwick exposed redhanded microtargetting an anti-Brexit MP standard.co.uk/news/uk/cambri…

His Mum was a Tory MP for an a "allegedly" safe Tory seat in London 2015-17 but she got beat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_…
The connection ties to AiQ via the Vote Leave crew where Borwick was CTO - and where AiQ had a number of apps to scrape data of individuals (Johnny Scraper' was one) ft.com/content/737290…
after Chris Vickery exposed this - Facebook was forced to takedown another possible 13 apps which could be AiQ connected nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/06/05/fac…
“The unofficial motto of Facebook was ‘move fast and break things’... Sandy Parakilas said there was no vetting for any outside parties who used Facebook to acquire people’s data. “Anyone can make a Facebook app. There’s no background check,” he said. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/facebook…

Gregory Finger, Mikhail Vinchel, Igor Matsanyuk. linkedin.com/company/imi-vc/ they sign up to this lot Oct 12 exactly when Zuckerberg gives Boostmate a prize for best app to hack your private data linkedin.com/in/andrey-usty… #experience-section … CEO Boostmate works for them
There is tonnes of money to turn Boost Mate into a global powerhouse back in 2012 but it goes poof in a puff of smoke - odd isn't it? techcrunch.com/2012/10/29/imi…
oh look Gregory Finger is only a FOUNDER and Board Chair at DST Tech - Yuri Milner - I suck from the Usmanov/Putin teet to get my hip tech company off the ground crunchbase.com/person/gregory…
Mr Finger has it rammed in Putin-pies rusmafiozi-eng.blogspot.com/2012/11/gregor…
Back in 2009 Yuri Milner and Gregory Finger slam in $10bn into Facebook (a month earlier it was worth $3bn apparently) so this event was pivotal in Facebook surviving - and they tie to Alisher Usmanov a known Putin gangster thenextweb.com/2009/05/27/fac…
Milner hands over $10bn and 'does not ask for a seat on the board or any other special privileges' - is that not bloody peculiar in itself? fortune.com/2010/10/04/fac…
The Usmanov tie clear here theguardian.com/technology/201…

The Gerasimov Doctrine - It’s Russia’s new chaos theory of political warfare. And it’s probably being used on you.

Renaissance Capital 'bank account was traced to the UK' and it was stuffed full of murdered by KGB in prison Sergei Magnitsky cash (£6m) - which has led to Bill Browder (Hermitage founder) becoming Putin's favourite hate figure telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/1…
Renaissance Capital has a known and indicted Russian KGB officer as its CTO rferl.org/a/russia-fsb-o…
