#CambridgeAnalyticaFiles:

🔴At best, an extremely negligent governance of data protection by #Facebook.

🔴At worst, a direct link to #Russia using Facebook information in their interference in the 2016 election.

Call your state AGs to investigate it !!

Short thread about this Steve #Bannon interview about his efforts to support rightwing populists in Europe that is exciting a lot of people here. @guyverhofstadt even came up with #BanBannon hashtag thedailybeast.com/mueller-finall…
Bannon wants to unite Europe's rightwing populists/far-Right & nationalist groups into coherent political force. He's setting up a foundation, which he compares to @georgesoros network, to help them with funding. But he'll only have up to 10 employees & no serious cash.
Europe's rightwing populists have tried to unite before, notably in the @Europarl_EN, but not with great success, bc their policies pose a structural problem for a pan-European movement. Often their debates descended into insult-laden quarrels.

Carole Cadwalladr has recently become a nationwide name for her stories about Brexit, Vote Leave and Cambridge Analytica.

She once wrote the story "The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked" on May 7, 2017.

theguardian.com/technology/201…
Later, on March 18, 2018, Cadwalladr also wrote the article "'I made Steve Bannon's psychological warfare tool': meet the data war whistleblower", which was about Christopher Wylie.

theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Now, interestingly enough, in her first article above "The great British Brexit robbery", she quotes two people at the start - Alex Younger's speech from December 2016 and a senior intelligence analyst from April 2017.

Steve Bannon was a political genius who knew how to @Breitbart the public. What is "#Breitbarting?" Creating a culture to win influence. The Hollywood approach (aka Milo). Bannon's "falling out" with Trump made zero sense. It was staged. Why? Simple. He needed to launch #Qanon.
2/ My problem with this theory... #Bannon's entire career was propped up by unapologetic pro-zionists. So when Q responded to an Anon's post on April 3rd it threw this theory right out the window... This is NOT the reporting of a zionist. #Qanon
3/ Q could have used ANY excuse to bring up the #Pope and/or Rome. This cartoon was a red herring. If you follow the crumbs, Q changes the subject back to Epstein Island and stays there. So I'm left with hack or herring? Or did Bannon really win for @POTUS then step out. #Qanon

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica. Psych prof/developer Aleksandr Kogan accessed 270k FB users' data w his app, then collected their friends' data…& sold it all to Trump's data firm which used it to target ads in 2016 election theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
FB 2018: "We learned a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us…by passing data from an app…using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government… military work around the globe." FB knew in 2015

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
