Technical but important. @d1gi finds first evidence of Cambridge Analytica using Twitter to emotionally "data mine" & then geo-target voters
Moments after @d1gi posted article, the code was deleted...

And Cambridge Analytica spokesman blames the intern...nothing to do with CA. It’s all the workie’s fault..
Just like they did the last time. This was Cambridge Analytica spokesman back in March. The ‘intern’ here? Their chief data scientist..
Less technical, more oh-my-fucking-god.
Hillary Clinton. Talking about Cambridge Analytica. On the One Show.

Comments beneath video - ugh.
Rabid violent anti-Hillary comments outgunning pro-Hillary roughly 20-1.
But...are they real??
@MikeH_PR ?

Oh. Of course, it's Thomas Borwick. That's Thomas Borwick, ex Cambridge Analytica, ex CTO of Vote Leave, now business partner of Douglas Carswell. Borwick was the one running 'Brexit traitor' dark ads against @Anna_Soubry & others last year..
This is his latest handiwork. So, we know: he's tried unsuccessfully (h/t @danbarker!) to disguise who's placing these ads. We don't know: who's paying for them.
These also showed up a couple of days ago...

"He was raising Spectator matters which are not my responsibility," says the Spectator's chairman. You sure about that, @afneil? Because ex-Spectator employees have started getting in touch...& that's not what they're saying.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. "You could attribute this to one former employee: 'The Spectator today is entirely made in Andrew Neil's image. His constant presence in the building means that he looms over everything editorial...(cont)'
'...he shapes the agenda by his contempt for anyone and anything that challenges his right-wing, ultra-capitalist world-view. He wishes the Spectator was the Economist and that Margaret Thatcher was still Prime Minister. He has drained the magazine of gentleness and joy.'

Ugh. So here we go again. Major £££ Facebook campaign targeting dozens of Labour MPs. When is Britain going to wake up to what's going on. What went on. And how our democracy has been utterly corrupted & debased by Facebook
Constituents of target Labour MPs being sent these ads by right-wing group. Here's @YvetteCooperMP but there's dozens more. When will Labour wake up & see the issues we've uncovered aren't to do with party politics, they're to do with democracy
Loads more here...

Cambridge Analytica’s Real Role in Trump’s Dark Facebook Campaign thedailybeast.com/cambridge-anal… via @thedailybeast
Now new data has opened a small window into Trump’s social media machinery, and in particular the role played by the now-defunct Cambridge Analytica.
Public statements and insider accounts have painted a muddled and contradictory picture on whether Trump’s Fb campaign targeted voters using Cambridge’s vast store of dubiously acquired data, once described by the company as containing 400 data points on 230 million Americans.

Cambridge Analytica had the Clinton emails more than a month before they were published by Wikileaks. So, let’s take a look back at our reporting at narativ.org with @ZevShalev 1)
CA-NIX-BANNON
In 2016, Cambridge Analytica, under the leadership of CEO Alexander Nix and vice-president Stephen Bannon helped manipulate the British electorate to vote for Brexit. 2)
Donald Trump paid Cambridge Analytica $6 million for work on his 2016 campaign. The company’s data scientists were able to figure out Trump voters who were “very low in neuroticism, quite low in openness and slightly conscientious.” 3)

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.

0s and 1s commonly create speech that courts use -- that means precedence is set. #Code is speech -- they're languages made of bits! Point being, ISPs shouldn't be allowed to deny computer speech from being seen by others. #NetNeutrality

Evidence in thread:
#NetNeutrality Evidence case 1: Bradley v. State: @Facebook evidence used to ID assailants and other witnesses. Its compelling because translated bits were used to ID people. It proves third party intermediary bits translated into media are used by courts. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…
#SaveNetNeutrality Evidence case 2: Homeland Security v. Twitter: @DHSgov seized data that was digitized and sent to intermediary @Twitter. Twitter sued its an ongoing investigation. Regardless, It appears consumer's translated bits were treated as speech? clearinghouse.net/detail.php?id=…
