#TheGreatHack on #MorningJoe this morning with @Karim_Amer33 and Brittany Kaiser talking Mueller, taming the big tech beast, preparing for 2020 election, and the key realization of the film that we have no data rights in the USA. #5000datapoints msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…
Key moment when @Karim_Amer33 articulated how the Mueller-indicted Russian intelligence information warfare social media op and Cambridge Analytica information warfare op are similar and just two influence operations that simply used Facebook as it wants to be used. #TheGreatHack
Ooops. That comment was referencing the longer interview in the afternoon.

We always said that the data use was unlawful if it was happening in the UK. Looks like we weren’t alone with those concerns. Shame we never got a chance to test it in court. #TheGreatHack #5000DataPoints
My story shows how all American voters had their data rights abused by CA/SCL in the UK. @RaviNa1k would’ve won our case if the company hadn’t raced into insolvency. Brittany’s latest files show how LeaveEU seemed to admit that its proposal was unlawful. So where did the data go?
In response to new emails from Brittany Kaiser, DCMS MP calls for reopening of electoral commission investigations while the Chair notes their concerns over data protection act violations. And then there’s Nix’s “We don’t talk about that” in #TheGreatHack theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…

Watched #TheGreatHack this weekend? Mindblown and/or outraged? California resident? Read about industry efforts to water down the landmark California Consumer Privacy Act #CCPA which is the first law in the USA to grant a Right to Know. Defend California law from loophole lobby!
Watched #TheGreatHack this weekend? Mindblown and/or outraged? New Yorker? Read about the bill in Albany that’s even bolder than California’s law. Then join me in writing to my local reps asking them to watch the film and pass the strongest bill possible. wired.com/story/new-york…
The next great hack is around #MoscowMitch who will surely block a landmark national privacy law. We must pass privacy laws in the statehouses first so that the industry pressures McConnell for preemption but voters will gain federalist leverage over the inevitable concessions.

FTC suing #CambridgeAnalytica for deceptive practices and violating #PrivacyShield international data security framework. #TheGreatHack
natlawreview.com/article/ftc-fi…
Corporate structure cheat sheet:

Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC > Emerdata Ltd > SCL Group Ltd* > SCL Elections Ltd** > Cambridge Analytica LLC***

* acquired by Emerdata and SCL Insights Ltd
** liquidated in UK
*** abandoned bankruptcy in US
SCL didn’t bother renewing its UK govt export controls. Too much paperwork said Nigel Oakes* per Brittany Kaiser. Didn’t renew PrivacyShield either demolishing Cambridge Analytica’s prior claims it honored all applicable data protection laws & treaties.
*Now owns SCL Insights Ltd

NEW: Explosive new emails detail work Cambridge Analytica did for LeaveEU/UKIP. Brittany Kaiser, woman at centre of Netflix's #TheGreatHack has handed over a whole bunch of new emails to DCMS committee. Oh dear, Arron Banks. Looks like it's all coming home to roost...
🔥 🔥 🔥
There is a lot in here. This for eg is very interesting. It's a discussion of legality of what they're planning to do with data with Matthew Richardson. He's a key player who connects Nigel Farage to the US far right. Ex-general secretary of UKIP & close to Robert Mercer
Arron Banks & Alexander Nix both told parliament that Cambridge Analytica did no work for LeaveEU. But this confirm @observerUK story from last year. We revealed CA invoiced UKIP £41,500 for work. & Arron Banks paid UKIP. UKIP just never handed £ over

Just watched "#TheGreatHack" the #CambridgeAnalytica Netflix documentary featuring @carolecadwalla and Brittany Kaiser. It lays it all out there in a very compelling way, reminded me of #CitizenFour. netflix.com/fr-en/title/80… /1
@carolecadwalla Carole has written about the documentary here >>
@carolecadwalla As I watched it, it took me back to what turned out to be a prophetic story published by @NafeezAhmed back at the end of 2017, before @chrisinsilico went public, before the @Facebook day of infamy on capitol hill, and before anyone knew about SCL. /3

Has Sen @SenSasse been asked yet to comment on a) Trump's racist tweets b) the "send her back" chant c) Epstein's arrest & bail denial d) Mueller's testimony e) McConnell's blocking of election security bills? How does he do it?
@SenSasse When he was promoting his book a few months ago, he was interviewed regularly. The book "Them: .Why We Hate Each Other & How to Heal" and Sasse was uncritically described as a sane and moral, moderating force calling up to kinder, gentler time.
Then we’re riven by the President’s hate-filled attacks on young women of color in Congress & the mob like chant by supporters of his party and he’s not the go-to guy. No one asked Sasse “is the President racist? What is his role in spreading hate? How can we find a way to heal?”

I'm watching #TheGreatHack on Netflix.

15 minutes in so far and my initial reaction is "oh come on, can we just not with the Cambridge Analytica villain-hagiography?" (1/probably a lot)
Minute 12: the film credits Cambridge Analytica for Ted Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses, showing a clip of CA's CEO bragging about the win. IIRC, the Cruz campaign fired CA soon after, because they found the data and modeling to be basically garbage.
Minute 15: Another clip of Alexander Nix, giving a staged sales pitch about how powerful his product is.

...Folks, just because the sales guy tells you his beans are magic doesn't mean you have to believe him.

Rather than listen to Facebook earnings at 5pm or further document the incriminating details in their SEC settlement, I’m headed in for a screening of #TheGreatHack. I bring with me new info and more questions. Keep you posted.
#TheGreatHack Glad I finally had a chance to see it. Really well done, accessible to broader public. Some oddities and observations from me. Will post after the panel.
My big question since I missed it. Did a single analyst ask Facebook about the SEC complaint settlement that stated they spent multiple years covering up rather than disclosing a major privacy data violation that materially impacted their share value? Curious.

1/ As with the Election, SOMEONE OVERPLAYED THEIR HAND . SOMEone with private access to inside information told the “in crowd,” they were going to win. Assured them they had this one in the bag. The Mueller Report (w/ Sekulow & Giuliani )reported complete vindication: after 40
2/ FOIA LAWSUITS, 19 lawyers, 2800 sub-trial attorney’s, 230 committee records, 500 witnesses, unknown numbers of pen registers (registers of who called whom) “no servers were destroyed, phone records destroyed: no collusion, no conspiracy, nothing INDICTABLE.”
3/ #Mueller ‘s offices will finally be closed. Per @TomFitton “Congress can still impeach Obama,” & Hillary could be brought upon charges. Nadler & Mad Max confirm their harassment will continue. (Shhh. Hari Kari is an empty threat these days.)
