If you are watching the Cambridge Analytica story unfold, please please support our journalism. We’ve fought off 3 legal threats from CA & 1 from Facebook. It’s a whole year’s work & we gave it to @Channel4News & @nytimes for the greater good. We need you!https://t.co/xxwntrMfBK pic.twitter.com/hhWfeTLd7r

This is a story of failure by five organisations: Facebook US, Facebook Ireland, Cambridge Analytica, GSR AND Cambridge University. Cambridge U has documents concerning the CA/GSR relationship, throwing new doubts (for me) on FB's explanations. https://t.co/04KXWgpxWS

Call me jaded, but I'm less interested in the unsavory tactics of an unsavory company & more interested in what a public U.S. company may have done–even if that was to look the other way.

If you want to understand the logic of Trump’s attacks on Mueller, the FBI, McCabe & Comey, look to Turkey—where authoritarian despot Erdogan used the same playbook (& even the same language) to kill a corruption investigation in 2013. https://t.co/5kE1tYNqko

If u don’t mind Trump jacking-up prices at Mar-a-Lago & using presidency to promote properties, or Kushners trying to get loans from foreign gvts, or Ivanka using gvt platform to hawk her brand…u can’t suddenly find religion re Stormy trying to make 💰 off Trump presidency too.

Here we go again: HMG raises the white flag in Brussels, yet it will no doubt be hailed as a triumph. This is shaping up to be an embarrassing Brexit delivered at all costs. Is this humiliation really what people voted for?
