I’m with @jason_kint. The stench coming off the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica SEC settlement is only getting stronger. And this relationship between Zuck & Thiel is only the half of it. Big Theranos energy
I keep thinking about what one of the earliest Facebook whistleblowers @sandyparakilas told me in 2018: pay attention to the financial filings. ‘The SEC has real powers. You can get away with most things in America,’ he told me. ‘But you can’t fuck with our capitalism’
Facebook has helped elect authoritarians & incited an insurrection & actual genocide all with zero consequences. But…In last 2 years, an increasing body of evidence suggests it may have gone a step too far & *gasp* misled investors: America’s only true sin
So many questions about Facebook board member Mr Thiel & the role of his companies
And Facebook board member, Mr Andreessen & the role of his company

Criticise the behaviour, not the individual, they say. So here goes:

1) The abuse of children is morally repugnant & wholly unacceptable.

2) Online abuse *is* abuse. It must be called out. And it should be reported. It is subject to laws that can & must be enforced.

1/
3) Everyone has a right to be protected from harassment, abuse and hate speech. Victims shouldn't have to speak up for themselves. You can report it on their behalf.

4) It is a misconception that what happens online is somehow above and outside of the law. It is not.
2/
5) Organisations that employ individuals who engage in targeted hate speech, abuse and harassment have a responsibility to the victims.

6) 'Blue-ticked' or verified accounts or individuals who have a public profile play an outsized role in inciting violence online.

The @observeruk published evidence from @chrisinsilico & @shahmiruk that suggested Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, Vote Leave & LeaveEU broke the law. The official regulators used evidence to find them in breach of law.

We committed journalism. Vote Leave committed a crime
Cummings refused to answer qs to parliament on his role in illegal overspending scheme, on illegal coordination of Leave campaigns, on illicit scraping of voter data, on secret ‘physicists’. Instead, man who was once most powerful in Britain is reduced to trolling me on Twitter
Cummings is desperate to exculpate himself from utter catastrophe that led to 152k deaths. And rewrite history of EUref.

But he can’t. You can’t bring people back to life. You can’t change facts. These were findings in law. Vote Leave appealed, failed & finally admitted guilt

Andrew Neil employs Farage. It’s his channel that gives him a platform he would not otherwise have & which enabled him to launch his attacks on the RNLI. The utter hypocrisy of this.
So is that it? Neil will get a free pass for this? Just like he got a free pass for being chair of the Spectator while senior political interviewer for BBC? Just like he got free pass for denying AIDS & publishing Hitler’s diaries & hanging out with Orban’s cronies. Extraordinary
Farage is just Farage. A busted flush, too toxic even for talk radio, until rescued by GBNews. The responsibility for RNLI culture war is entirely on Andrew Neil.

Good morning. Please allow me to remind you & Mr Cummings & Laura Kuenssberg & BBC that 'Cadwalladr's ignorant fantasies' led to Vote Leave being found to have broken the law by the official regulator.
Cummings is deliberately conflating multiple elements here to discredit the reporting that led to the finding of illegality against the campaign he led.

But let's separate them out.

'Ignorant fantasy 1': @shahmiruk's devastating evidence that proved overspending & coordination
Ignorant fantasy 2: 'Facebook/Russia' = meaningless twaddle. 2 completely different things. But read Cummings's own words on FB. He pumped out 1bn FB ads - lies - overwhelmingly in last days. *When the illegal campaign spending occurred.* Also: when GB changed its mind on Brexit

Turns on television. Has she asked him about breaking the law?
'Did you win on false pretences?'

How about this one: 'Did you win by breaking the law?'
I take it that's a no, then? Amazing. Literally biggest electoral fraud in modern British history. Never mentioned. Ever.

OMG. This is a July 5 blog written by Robert Dingwall, a member of govt’s JCVI committee that has just refused vaccines to over 12s.

We need to understand who is making these decisions. He is a full ideological herd immunity blowhard.
Dingwall went on Newsnight last night & told Britain’s 2m Long Covid sufferers that it’s all ‘in the mind’.

This is a govt advisor. Where are other govt advisors. Are they ok with this?? Their silence can only be read as support.

Look at the language. It’s *exactly* that used by Sajid Javid. If not now, when? But this is Dingwall saying it one week earlier than Javid.

This is ideology. It’s not medicine or science. And it’s at the absolute heart of our public health
