Cambridge Analytica + Psyops + The Beast

Still has that signature which is mental. Like a linkedin testimonial it kind of invalidates its own claim. show dont tell tea!

this is what poetix (one of the most sought after and respected programmers in Europe) said when the 'scandal' broke. nothing to it he said. load of bollocks. i think maybe Vim (one of the most sought after and respected prgrammers in the Bolton area) said much the same thing

 

[luka]

obviously i dont know myself but its interesting to hear from the experts

 

[vimothy]

Ive always said I'm right about everything

 

[vimothy]

but like you say, good to have it confirmed by the experts

My self styled data nerd mate said the same - he said they are all at it

 

[Mr. Tea]

Well this is pretty messed up. A friend of mine does communications for the Freud Museum, and they're currently running a conference on the post-truth age and the US election. She's just found today that her personal FB account is locked, along with all accounts related to the museum. Her Instagram account is locked too.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I know, right? Censorship, lol!

Tbf, Piers Corbyn has always been a hardline racist lunatic.

any evidence? that's potentially libellous - i think the guy is in jail now or at least has been charged with antivax dickery , but "hardline racist"? evidence please

I had the misfortune to spend 30 seconds perusing his Twitter feed once. Wall to wall retweets of articles from the Sun, Daily Mail, Fox, Breitbart (seriously), all with a heavily anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, and anti-Muslim slant. The antisemitism goes without saying. He also has a hate-boner for Sadiq Khan of epic proportions, just like all those American right-wingers who bang on about "Londonistan". Then there's the climate-change-denialism, which is his stock in trade, the anti-vaxx shite and now covid-denialism as well, of course.

I've just looked again now - he's retweeting Peter Hitchens, lol.

The man is a moral and intellectual toilet.

Hate to bang on but intelligence agencies do enough of the big data/news feed/headline manipulation of their own, that's basically how they operate. The CA private company doing it thing plays into their hands and covers up what they already do. That was my take at the time anyway.

[sufi]

theres no hard boundaries between state and private sector with this stuff.

Tweeting articles about Britain being INUNDATED BY REFUGEES and so on? I'd say that was fairly damning.

Are you his lawyer or something?

Careful @Mr. Tea , you'll get stung for £62,000 in court like Carole Codswallopr.

I just wanted to use Codswallopr, to be honest.
