Enjoy this uncritical and glossy coverage of Matt Oczkowski that doesn’t mention:
–Channel4 News exposé on CA’s voter deterrence
–AP’s alleged illegal campaign coordination story
–Oz & Bossie are in SSCI report
–FOIA redactions indicate FBI investigation
politi.co/3jmcpex
Whatever happened to Oczkowski’s Data Propria and why make another company called HuMn Behavior to receive payments from Trump campaign? Clever of him to deny using psychographics for Trump campaign when he did use it for Mercer PACs, NRA, etc. wired.com/story/congress…
Is anyone going to ask Oz for a comment on @Channel4News coverage of the deterrence campaign in a clever weasel worded denial? Or do we just him let him go with the “no comment” strategy and hope for the best? channel4.com/news/revealed-…
Anyone gonna ask Oz about the flim-flam “firewall” between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Mercer PACs or no? Just glowing coverage that he’s been doing Trump’s analytics this whole time despite his initial denials. apnews.com/article/electi…

One for more time folks! It doesn’t matter if you think Cambridge Analytica wasn’t “effective” but it really does matter if they were an illegal operation. And ⁦@CampaignLegal⁩ now alleges serious illegal coordination in ‘16 via ⁦@garanceburkeapnews.com/article/electi…
The new document trove that supports these stunning campaign violation allegations is available here. The Cambridge Analytica saga is not over yet even though so many really wish it would be over. It just isn’t. archive.org/details/ca-doc…
Here’s @brendan_fischer from @CampaignLegal on this important new complaint. He has been working on this for years. The reckoning has finally arrived. campaignlegal.org/update/newly-p…

“Ads advocating for or against legislation around vaccines are still allowed if they carry a 'paid for by' label”

Money talks. Freedom of speech with disclosure requirements. It’s the system we’ve built. My secret Delaware LLC can fund anti-vaxx ads.
And when I’m exposed and shamed, I’ll just abandon my secret Delaware LLC is bankruptcy court like the Mercers did with Cambridge Analytica.
I’ve actually abandoned a Delaware corporation in my career. I’m not just talking smack. It’s super easy!

Guardian editorial sharply criticizes those who have almost hysterically downplayed the ICO’s letter about the Cambridge Analytica investigation, distorting the key findings to suit a particular narrative. I will add a detail… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The ICO is now re-analyzing the servers after I sent the data given to me on camera by @Channel4News which was much more expansive than what SCL provided and yet matches descriptions of Cambridge Analytica data perfectly, including exact data broker sources and other aspects.
Key reminder by Info Commish: “Cambridge Analytica has since collapsed; if it hadn’t, it would probably have attracted further regulatory action, she added.”

Because SCL committed mass data abuse against all US voters but it escaped liability thru insolvency/bankruptcy!

ICO finally released details on its forensics of seized CA/SCL servers today. Skeptics will revel in these observations but even ICO fails to remind the reader here that they had previously determined that the company breached law, regardless of efficacy. committees.parliament.uk/publications/2…
Headline here is the UK authority is hinting in a most British way that the RNC's data operation could continue to be contaminated by the Kogan data. Unless we do anything about it, it will remain a dark cloud over the RNC Data Trust which is apparently a cybersecurity disasster.
ICO's forensics comports with my assumptions. 30 million US voters had relatively accurate predictions modeled from their direct Facebook data harvesting. All remaining registered voters (including me) had modeled predictions that were far less useful (but we didn't matter).

The Cambridge Analytica saga breaks wide open again. The proof is finally being revealed. We always knew the truth was right there in the data. Image
You know who must have known about the RNC’s Black vote deterrent data structure as revealed by @Channel4News?

Jared Kushner. But is Brad Parscale the designated fall guy? #DeterringDemocracy Image
@RepSpeier asked the question. Parscale responded with a false statement that tonight’s @Channel4News exposé will clearly and unambiguously reveal.

I wonder if folks think I know about secret privileged information about Cambridge Analytica that makes me say the wild things I do. It’s true. And secret sources have never stopped feeding me proof that I’m not wrong.
I wish I was wrong about all of this. Then you could discount me as a partisan hack. Nothing would make me happier.
There are academic colleagues who were deeply apprehensive about contending with CA/SCL. I was ostracized for going there. They said we must downplay them or we would do their marketing for them. They said I would ruin my reputation for even suggesting CA was worth talking about.
