Not sure if someone already posted this, but here's a new angle of the Cambridge Analytica story. It comes from a UK news station, where the government is investigating CAs effects on the Brexit vote. They made an undercover film of CA executives describing how they've manipulated elections around the world, including hiring sex workers to entrap politicians. They go into quite a bit of detail of their tactics, shell companies, and operations. It's pretty amazing. (Note: this doesn't prove, of course, that they did any of this here in the U.S., but it is still pretty jaw-dropping stuff).

Cambridge Analytica CEO Filmed Saying They Used bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians

Senior executives at Cambridge Analytica have been secretly filmed saying they could entrap politicians in compromising situations with bribes and Ukrainian sex workers.

In an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News, the company’s chief executive Alexander Nix said the British firm secretly campaigns in elections across the world. This includes operating through a web of shadowy front companies, or by using sub-contractors.

In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, Mr Nix said they could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house”, adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.

yes indeed, the Mercer funded operation at Cambridge Analytica was a no holds barred approach to utilizing whatever dirty tricks they could to swing an election, in case anyone doubts that, here is the undercover video.

Default Facebook Loses 37 Billion in Value After Privacy Violation is Revealed

Every penny of that loss should come out of Zuckerberg's personal assets, before the shareholders lose anything. He made his billions off of designing and developing it and he should be fully penalized for not keeping criminal activity from exploiting it.

Guess now the Brexit vote is illegitimate. It’s what the left wants

Good! I hope there's a way for the 50 million people whose privacy was breached to sue Facebook, Cambridge Analytica and the Mercer's and bleed them all dry.

Why should it? No really. Why should he lose all of his money? These people knew what they were investing in, and knew how Facebook made money. Did he as CEO go tell Cambridge Analytica to lie to Facebook and misuse thier data?

Ohhhh...its more about how you don't like him, then any connection to reality isn't it?

Oops I just posted about the same report. I will delete my post

This is lovely one of the best things I have read in a while. Even if no one goes to jail, the Mercers are getting exposed. Facebook must be so nervous.

Did Cambridge Analytica win the election for Trump? (employment, CNN, suspected)
These guys play real dirty. They are Trump's kind of guys. Russia connections and all. Not surprising he went all-in with them,
