If Alexander Nix cared about his employees, & doesn't think he's done anything wrong, he would be cooperating with the UK's Information Officer. Not removing allegedly dozens of storage crates containing God knows what from Cambridge Analytica's office. thetimes.co.uk/article/i-ll-r…
Lobby of Cambridge Analytica's office in London. This really does not look good, and the Information Commissioner has confirmed it has nothing to do with them.
Alexander Nix admits in the article though that Cambridge Analytica "could help to change an election result by two or three percentage points using psychological profiling of voters."

That's brave of him to say that given the data breach allegations & Brexit result of 52: 48
But my favourite part in the article, despite #CambridgeAnalyticaUncovered watched by hundreds of thousands if not millions yesterday in the UK and beyond, was Alexander Nix brazenly saying today his "company was moral".
The question of morality is decided in the court of public opinion, and I doubt if many people would agree #CambridgeAnalytica was moral. The data leak question that remains though is a legal one, and that will no doubt be decided in a court of law.
If a data breach is established and this information was then exploited in elections, this would not be just an attack on our freedoms. It would be an attack on our very democracy with implications over the validity of the referendum result itself.
But rather than simply cooperate with the UK's Information Commissioner so public confidence can be swiftly restored in our democratic processes #CambridgeAnalytics are in damage limitation mode & under the misguided impression that suspending their CEO will assuage public anger.
I cannot help but wonder if the UK's Information Commissioner seems so OUTRAGEOUSLY slow is related to SCL Group - #CambridgeAnalytica's parent company -donating £717,950.00 to Tory party? When it comes to business, there is no free lunch. Ask any Tory.
While the Information Commissioner will have to wait now until Friday to enter the offices of #CambridgeAnalytics after a high court judge adjourned the hearing for a warrant application, crates allegedly removed from their offices go into storage in a 'top secret' location.
