FTC votes along party lines to fine repeat-offender Facebook $5B for the #CambridgeAnalytica mass data abuse scandal. Additional restrictions that may be imposed have not yet been reported. #TheGreatHack cnbc.com/2019/07/12/ftc…
$FB stock surges on the news. Guess even $5B is nowhere close to an effective punishment in the eyes of investors. Just the cost of doing business. #SurveillanceCapitalism
@ceciliakang reports that FB may accept some new oversight but no restrictions on data collection and sharing, partly why the two Dem commissioners voted against the settlement. It’s weak sauce. nytimes.com/2019/07/12/tec…

Thanks so much for hosting this tonight, John. A very special occasion and opening of a new conversational thread, and critical for it to be situated within the NYC tech industry community like this.
It’s actually possible that NY State could pass a new data protection law even stronger than California’s. #TheGreatHack helps ignite interest in voters to demand data rights from Albany. NYC would birth a new data rights driven internet wired.com/story/new-york… by @issielapowsky
Getting bills in Statehouses squeezes the data industry by the balls so then they squeeze Mitch McConnell’s to even put preemption up for discussion. Gives voters some federalist leverage to extract concessions from the industry lobby in exchange for preemption. #TheGreatHack

#TheGreatHack out the same day as Mueller’s testimony. Film has some Mueller stuff in it. I’m worried that Barr probably killed the active CA/SCL investigations by DOJ that were still live as recently as March 2019. My insolvency lawsuit in the UK verified those active threads.
We know CA/SCL’s administrators/liquidators spent time liaising with US attorneys. It’s in their public reports. During my UK lawsuit in March 2019 we weren’t allowed to ask about certain topics because of active investigations in USA. Then Barr came along and “landed the plane.”
I want to be proven wrong. Badly.

Here’s @carolecadwalla’s take on #TheGreatHack and the story of how it all came together from the start. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…
Key point by @Karim_Amer33 — it’s too easy to blame Cambridge Analytica. We let our democracies get industrialized by big data profiteers. And nothing has really changed for election 2020 in the US. We still have no data rights and voter surveillance is the default setting.
Importantly, @shoshanazuboff is quoted here. I share this exasperation with the skeptics, especially those in academia, who made up their minds about Cambridge Analytica with almost no forensic evidence. Just a gut feeling it must be doubted because only @ICOnews has the data.

Confirmation that the senate is where the problem lies in progressive policy implementation.
Paula Simons alludes that Conservatives are intentionally obstructing amenable changes to block progressive policy from royal assent, even though it is the mandate of the sitting government. This is in direct defiance of the role of the upper house.
Exactly what I have been arguing is occurring with @BestStephen for 2 days.

Senator Simons is doing her job and then some. She’s offering amendments to compromise, cooperating with concerned citizens she’s engineered to meet publicly on their turf.

This is how politics works.

Deep Dive: #FTC Negotiating Multi-Billion Dollar Fine For Facebook’s Privacy Scandals; Violating 2011 Accord
#FacebookPrivacyScandal

activistpost.com/2019/02/ftc-ne…
The FTC’s probe of Facebook began in March of last year in response to big social’s entanglement with #CambridgeAnalytica, a political consultancy firm connected to a U.S. subsidiary (SHELL COMPANY) of a UK defense contractor #SCLGroup, (Strategic Communication Laboratories)
#SCL improperly accessed data on 87 million of the social site’s users. According to reports, #Facebook knew for an entire three years that #CambridgeAnalytica was abusing and misusing user data but did absolutely nothing.

Today, the @TXSBOE will hear public testimony on eliminating Helen Keller, Hillary Clinton and dozens of other people from the state's history curriculum.

Follow me for live tweets from the debate and read this for background: dallasnews.com/news/education… #txlege #txed
@TXSBOE And we're off!

The @TXSBOE has gaveled in. Chair Bahorich says live stream is down, so I'm glad I'm here in person!

First up today is public testimony on the changes to the social studies curriculum. 35 people have signed up to speak. #txlege #txed
@TXSBOE Some curriculum changes have gotten more attention than others.

Yes, Helen Keller and Hillary Clinton (both recommended, not required, to be taught) are on the chopping block.

But there are DOZENS of other proposed changes too.

1) My new and improved updated theory on John Huber, the Mueller Special Council and Rod Rosenstein.

"They're White Hats" edition.

2) #Qanon returned yesterday. Life is better when Q posts. In it he made reference to Huber again and in a separate post linked to a @Judgenap video where something key is mentioned.

#WWG1WGA @POTUS #GreatAwakenening #redpill #PatriotsFight #walkaway
3) The point of the post was for us to understand the document was declassified to honor the FOIA request, but remains redacted because the content contains criminally prosecutable activity.

#Facebook thread:
Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

Speaking now, @chrisinsilico, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower - how @carolecadwalla (who is held back at the @guardian newsroom writing tomorrow’s big story) provided the patient and nurturing environment that allowed him to come forward...
... what persuaded him to talk to her was that she was a journalist willing to share with other journalists for the greater good, such as C4 and NYT, rather than clinging to her own exclusive as most would.
He started as an anonymous source for her early stories...
... he feels that the Tech journalists dismissed the story and ignored the reality, while Carole didn’t understand the Tech, but saw the significance. He spent the time explaining to Carole what all the Tech tools and processes were...
