I know that Cambridge Analytica has already been in the news this week, with the revelation that they harvested significant amounts of facebook data, but this is apparently an entirely different story that also broke today.
Cambridge Analytica, for those who don't know, is a conservative "data management" firm owned by the Mercer family (and formerly run by Steve Bannon) with a fairly shady history of psy-ops in regard to elections all around the world. It appears that a reporter from Channel 4 News in England recently recorded a "sting" meeting with the CEO of Cambridge Analytica, in which that CEO made a number of offers to entrap and blackmail a hypothetical political opponent, including suggesting sending Ukrainian hookers to someone's house and filming it (to release via shell organizations on twitter), and various other shady things.
There is apparently more to come, tomorrow - which directly involves the work they did for Donald Trump.
Revealed: Trump’s election consultants filmed saying they use bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians
And of course you ignore the fact that Facebook knew that obama's campaign did the same thing....and said it was okay since Facebook was on their side.....but let's not tell the truth, that would show the democrats are asshats...
