Axciom sold our data to Cambridge Analytica so tell me more about responsible data brokers.
You’ll recall scene in @thegreathackdoc when Brittany Kaiser is going thru her hard drive and finds keynote presentation created after CA/SCL falsely certified to FB that it deleted deceptively harvested data. There’s @acxiom among other data brokers used for illegal profiling. 
It’s pretty outrageous but unsurprising that the @PrivacyProject didn’t insist that @acxiom’s data ethics chief acknowledge their own role in the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, as if they weren’t complicit in illegal profiling per UK law and data privacy watchdog, the ICO.
@PrivacyProject @Acxiom Indeed #TheGreatHack gave huge audiences a taste of @CommonsCMS hearings and in these tense grillings of Alexander Nix last year, he revealed that @Acxiom was one of its licensed data broker vendors. It all makes that new Acxiom NYT op-ed pretty damn icky. techcrunch.com/2018/06/06/cam…
The final creditors to SCL ELECTIONS LTD, behind flimsy shell of #CambridgeAnalytica, stiffed @acxiom £24K in the bitter end. As a creditor, Acxiom apparently did not use their leverage to challenge what was a corrupt liquidation in both UK and US courts. beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/082562…
