"Cambridge Analytica set up an app on Facebook to get people to take personality tests. These tests harvested your data, your friends' data. They got 87 million Facebook profiles." -- researcher @EmmaLBriant on @gaslitnation

"Cambridge Analytica were very interested in 'neurotics' -- people who are fearful and paranoid. They were interested in what would drive their fear level. They experimented on people like they were lab rats, triggering their worst fears." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/brexit-a…
"This is not a normal campaign tool. It's designed to undermine our rational sensibilities. Cambridge Analytica were all about the dark arts of manipulation. They dismissed the right to our own data." -- Dr. Emma Briant on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/brexit-a…
"Unfortunately we have not had a holisitic investigation into Brexit. Without that, you have all these tiny investigations and you don't get to see the entirety of what's happened. A huge investigation of corruption is needed." -- Dr Briant, @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/brexit-a…
"The problem is that the UK media is not behind an investigation of Brexit. And so the public don't know the truth or what's been revealed in the smaller investigations. They're getting away with it!" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/brexit-a…

Hey St Louis folks, in Grafton they created something called "Sky Tours" that is so much fun, you pay ten bucks and get a great view of the Mississippi. Plus they deposited me at a beer fest! #STL

"In hearings, the Dems need to connect the 2019 Ukraine crimes to the broader Trump-Russia crime spree. The ties to the mafia and oligarchs that span decades. The fact that Giuliani was continuing Manafort's crimes." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/31592828
"The Dems have played down the broader history of Trump-Russia likely because it reveals broad institutional failure that goes back decades. Incompetence that borders on malice from prior admins and from intel and law enforcement." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/31592828
"The Dems like the new Trump crimes because they have a shorter timeline and less complicated witnesses. The new witnesses are nonpartisan career bureaucrats who never failed their country like Comey, Mueller and so many others did." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/31592828

"The GOP are behaving like authoritarians, targeting innocent people who were following the law to alert their country that our democracy was being hijacked by a mass-murdering regime, Putin's Russia." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/31592828
"Putin's favorite American operative is Trump's old friend Paul Manafort. The GOP is obsessed with my sister, Alexandra, and that obsession was launched by Manafort. Giuliani was supposed to carry on that playbook but he botched the job." -- @AndreaChalupa patreon.com/posts/31592828
"The House must keep the impeachment hearings going for as long as possible and not rush the vote. As soon as they go to the Senate, Russian oligarch beneficiary McConnell is in charge." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/31592828

oh dear heavens. reminder, at the same hearing @AOC asked Zuckerberg when he had informed Peter Thiel about Cambridge Analytica and he entirely waffled his answer. (1) An employee of Thiel's Palantir was reported to have assisted Cambridge Analytica set up its scraping operation.
Facebook treated the entire "breach" as a PR cover-up for years rather than making sure data wouldn't be misused. Facebook's chasing down certification from guys who took and sold data happened AFTER 2016 brexit vote and AFTER 2016 US election. Again, Thiel is on Facebook board.
Makes this flashback during the hearing feel a bit prescient. When Palantir or Thiel surface to Zuckerberg during hearings, weird things happen. @SenatorCantwell @aoc

THE PERSUADABLES: “Nothing Is What It Seems”

A review of “The Great Hack” (@thegreathackdoc on @netflix) in the subject’s own words.

2/ “These digital traces of ourselves are being mined into a trillion dollar a year industry... we are now the commodity...no one bothered to read the terms and conditions.”-@profcarroll
3/ “We saw the fallout of our filtered realities in the 2016 election...the real world became a deeply divided wreckage site.”-@profcarroll

THREAD - PART II:

The "Cambridge Analytica" of the Christian Right is United in Purpose (data firm = Pioneer).

NEW: Tech guy behind this, Tamas Cser, also does tech for his sister's "survey" firm in Budapest.

This firm partners w/ a woman in Moscow who's worked w/ ROSNEFT. /1
This picks up where my original thread below left off.

Part I focused on Americans behind an operation of 20,000 pastors who gave their databases of 15 million to a "big data firm" to aid Trump in '16.

Part II looks at Tamas' ties to Budapest & Moscow./2
As a reminder, in Dec 2015, @VickerySec discovered Pioneer Solutions appears to have been behind the breach of 191 million voter records in 2015, 18 million of which were enriched profiles.

Tamas responded when Pioneer was contacted about the breach. /3

#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/…

50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica. Psych prof/developer Aleksandr Kogan accessed 270k FB users' data w his app, then collected their friends' data…& sold it all to Trump's data firm which used it to target ads in 2016 election theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
FB 2018: "We learned a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us…by passing data from an app…using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government… military work around the globe." FB knew in 2015
"purpose of Kogan’s work was to develop an algorithm for the 'national profiling capacity of American citizens' as part of SCL’s work on U.S. elections, according to an internal document signed by an SCL employee describing the research"– 3/2017 report theintercept.com/2017/03/30/fac…
