There’s a whole section on Cambridge Analytica in the just released SSCI report. Digging in now. #TheGreatHack
Just posting stuff as it jumps out at me as I scan thru this. Press pushed narrative that "psychographics weren't even used" but maybe reporters were trusting unreliable narrators and operatives with skin in the game. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
Because @JamieJBartlett got Nix to finally admit on camera that "legacy data models" from the Cruz campaign were used in the Trump campaign, this diagram makes sense to me in the weasel-worded non-denial denials. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
I independently corroborated this fact using the Subject Access Request data right of the UK Data Protection Act in January 2017, thanks to @podehaye and @gabrielazanfir and their deep knowledge of data protection laws and regulation. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack #DataRights
Nice to see @WendySiegelman attributed in the #SSCIVol5 report on her discovery of the extremely shady Emerdata Ltd. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
Important caveat in "Influence for Hire" section. Still makes my blood boil that @ICOnews has failed to release any forensics on the Cambridge Analytica/SCL servers they seized under criminal warrant and told @CommonsDCMS that a "narrative" for American voters was forthcoming.
Another important caveat. Overlap between a foreign defense contractor and Trump's data analytics vendor was always the thing that disturbed me far more than red-herring of "psychographics" and it turns out that my fears were always and remain justified. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
Very normal for Trump to hire a specialist in Russian propaganda and espionage tactics. #TheGreatHack #SSCIvol5
This section on @chrisinsilico's evidence to Senate Intel will send a chill down your spine. #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
Remember when a board member of Axciom and a best-selling author's podcast helped to launder Kogan's reputation because I certainly remember. #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
The section on CA/SCL's pitch to Lukoil contains the only major redaction on the investigation into the company. But SSCI was rightly concerned about US voter data and analytics being pitched to a Russian oil company for a "marketing" effort in Turkey. #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
Here's the rub folks. Our reckless attitude about data privacy and an out-of-control data broker industry makes us a prime target for mass data abuse and foreign interference. We must pass a national data rights law when we emerge from this nightmare. Advertisers can suck it.
Will take some time to dig into PSY GROUP and Colt Ventures sections later as those companies are even more sketchy and mysterious than CA/SCL. But appreciation to @chrisinsilico and @OwnYourDataNow for their production of evidence to US investigations on CA/SCL. #TheGreatHack
tl;dr on Influence for Hire: CA/SCL: SSCI could not develop a satisfactory assessment against contradictions. Deeply concerning links to Russia. US data proccesed abroad. Mercers were behind it. (Bannon may have done a perjury.) #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
Bummed that my evidence was not cited. I submitted it when SSCI reached out to me. Guess they didn’t need it. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
#SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
On further thought, SSCI reached out to me on May 22, 2017. I added the 🦅 that day.

SSCI must have gotten Rick Gates to acknowledge what he knew about it. #TheGreatHack
