This raises real concerns about how robust the US investigation into Russia and #CambridgeAnalytica was. Appalling they did not ask for the data they needed to investigate then stated they could not get this from UK authorities!!!!
I just want to call attention to impt role of #AU student @zamaanq47 here - after I revealed that @ICONews had quietly abandoned their long-awaited final report on #CambridgeAnalytica, we chased @commonsDCMS & he was successful in pressing them to get Denham to speak today!
@zamaanq47 @ICOnews @CommonsDCMS Everyone should give him a follow as he's very good at compiling and communicating the unfolding information from the community working on this subject.
@zamaanq47 @ICOnews @CommonsDCMS Not to mention seeking it out himself!!!

IMPORTANT - Elizabeth Denham from @ICOnews just responded to question I’ve been asking re senate intelligence committee report into Russia vol 5 statement they couldn’t get #Cambridgeanalytica emails from UK authorities- they did NOT ask her and she WILL provide if they ask (!)
WHY DID THEY NOT ASK?!!!!
This is incredible not to mention they appear to have shifted blame for non investigation onto UK failure to provide data, which did not happen. The Biden administration must now properly investigate events that ushered in the Trump age which culminated in a violent insurrection!

As I’ve said before re Benkler et al Harvard study (which was widely used to dismiss #CambridgeAnalytica’s impact) it had valuable findings re insular ideological media but fails to understand relationship & coordinated strategy between social and legacy media in a campaign. Image
It’s not helpful to engage in this debate over what’s more important- social media or legacy forms of media now, it fails to understand the related roles they play. Both are important, and also important to each other.
It’s how they interact and are relatedly used that matters.

It’s good to see the media discussing possibility of coordination during the #brexit campaign again as more documents come out. This significance was unspoken in a lot of reporting on whether #CambridgeAnalytica worked on LeaveEU after @carolecadwalla and my evidence raised it.
Now people are seeing more of what the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal was about. The #scandal which spun off from it subsumed so much of the media attention it’s been difficult to get across other parts of the scandal. I discuss it all in my upcoming book see propagandamachine.tech
The media have done a MASSIVE injustice to Britain, America and the rest of the world in propagating the myth that #CambridgeAnalytica was just about the #Facebook scandal. This vital interpretation is in my upcoming book and I illustrate global reach here propagandamachine.tech

BREAKING My article with @OCCRP on #Emic, spun off from #cambridgeanalytica parent company SCL - it continued work for governments shaping the future of global influence operations amid ongoing investigations @carolecadwalla @peterjukes @AndreaChalupa @DamianCollins @BardCollege
Training from #Emic may include the familiar faces including Nigel “no company’s whiter than white” Oakes - see my parliamentary evidence from 2018, here he is discussing how Hitler didn’t have a problem with the Jews...
Apparently these are trainers delivering methods that governments such as Canada and the Netherlands were happy to ignore the past history of unethical use to obtain. We must demand more of governments when they promise to investigate.

This is the most MUST-READ article/upcoming book I’ve seen in a long time thanks to ⁦@doctorow⁩ “How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, a New Book by Cory Doctorow | OneZero” I disagree/agree in numerous ways I will detail but it’s thoughtful 👍 so: onezero.medium.com/how-to-destroy…
This is how I have generally seen it... it’s really not about people posting targeted ads in new ways that are so convincing cause psychology in messaging... This misses the wider point. This is more structural.
this is not as much the type of activities I am focused on - people think information warfare is about sending about mass advertising 😬 no - you really have no idea, also small actions can produce big behavioral changes - you need to understand people to do that, not ads!

What @snowden revealed was the construction and foundations of the same surveillance and influence nightmare that is now coming of age, weaponised worldwide. We needed that knowledge. Let’s learn the lessons, reform surveillant infrastructure and influence.
Don’t enable governments arguments designed to weaken Whistleblowing across the board and strip journalism of important protections.
Reform government contracting, increase oversight and reporting, do things in house if you’re going to, introduce #dataprivacy reforms we need and understand that an arms race in this surveillant influence nightmare does not make us safer.
