Update: Bekah Mercer is now suing Alexander Nix for doing her the ‘favour’ of running Campaign Analytica/SCL into bankruptcy/insolvency as to enjoy the moratorium on data protection act violations which the UK ICO described and affected all registered voters (not just 87 million)

Weird “Payback suit” acting as Dynamo Recoveries after Bekah Mercer already achieved absorbing Cambridge Analytica/SCL into Emerdata Limited and Nigel Oakes got defence gigs/assets as SCL Analytics Ltd

Did Bannon ever cooperate with probes into CA/SCL? We know FTC tried to serve him. But no press follow-up on that. Now a jury is forming on his Jan6 obstruction indictment after shady pardons and whatnot. That Leninist-Duginist who came up with the name Cambridge Analytica.

Receipt for claim that CA/SCL violated UK DPA in 2016 US presidential election but bankruptcy/insolvency moratorium preempted a full enforcement by their regulator, the UK DPA #TheGreatHack

Both Flynn and Nix obstructed the bipartisan investigation into CA/SCL by the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on this specific topic in vol 5 of their report. #TheGreatHack

Where’s receipt for claim that Cambridge Analytica affected all US voters (not just 87 million claimed by Facebook)? Here’s my data file from 2016. It has Cambridge Analytica OCEAN scores (along w/other perfectly matching tables of known data broker srcs). I was *not* among 87M.

Doesn’t matter if you think scores have any effect. All that matters if was legal in UK where data was processed. Answer was NO. But going out of business shed most liabilities of illegally profiling all US voters. Doesn’t matter if it worked. It was illegal but loopholes FTW.

If you’re just tuning in to this saga then perhaps you’re thinking surely the USA and UK fully cooperated on the matter of sharing a server of illegal 2016 presidential election voter profiles seized by UK authorities under criminal warrant…um…I have bad news. #TheGreatHack

OK I’m in the weeds. But here we are. Post-Cambridge Analytica and Post-Roe but data privacy is still one of the things we can’t be worried enough about…until it’s too late. #DataRights

If Mercer wins her fee against Nix it will amount toward the net cost of her family subverting UK data protection law as applicable to the US 2016 presidential election. (Really Cheap! Theoretical UK fines in the trillions reduced to millions in legal fees).
