Except this guy worked for Cambridge Analytica and was intimately involved with what went on.

How do you see that if you don’t want to look it up?
Oh yes the same as everything else. Supposition stated as facts plucked straight from your arse.

I answered scottyboi.

Dont expect you to read it though.

I know who he is and he has decided to go into bat for remain which is his choice.

Companies like Cambridge Analytical have been around for years and will continue to be around. One like it got Obama elected. Every party and political campaign since the world over has used one just like it. They mine data, personal data and they then target voters they think they can sway their way.

Im all for banning it completely but it seems that some only want the ones banned that helped get a decision they dont like. Take the 2017 GE result in which Corbyn and Labour did fantastically well for instance. yep thats right, £millions spent on digital campaigns with clever algorithms used to target facebook and other social media and it very nearly won them the day. Not a peep about that though form the ones whining. Why is that?

I ain't taking sides I'm just saying he worked for a company with questionable motives and morals so knows the score.

The backers of Leave.EU & Maga played a blinder using social media as a weapon to aid them in the votes, nothing on that scale has ever been done before both were complete shocks to the world.

With the votes being so close they clearly had an impact big enough to get them over the line.

I hope it is all banned and a more transparent method of campaigning is introduced where the big parties all have the same amount of money to spend and are truly held accountable for breaking any rules by an independent body. At the moment you can spend what you like get a fine or whatever but it does nothing to change the result I think that is bad for democracy.

Couldn't agree more and its the only way to stop the bleating from any side that the other cheated.

Sad to say there are plenty of people in this country, including posters on here, who are so desperate to be right about the way they voted both in the 2016 referendum and for the Tory Government that they are prepared to completely ignore the actions of a hostile state interfering in the future prospects and wellbeing of our country.

In my book this is treachery.

You are absolutely correct, and a similar ammount of people desperate to be right about voting the other way that are prepared to attribute anything that doesn't go their way to a hostile state.

My take away from what I've heard today is that Russian interference is not a slam dunk for either side of the Brexit or Scottish referenda, but rather both sides have been played equally into polarised views of the issues. The goal of Russia was social division rather than one side or the other.

I’ve not got around to reading it yet.

The only comment I’ve made thus far is that individuals still voted for what they wanted to and the public are more informed than some of my peers, who have been on the losing side of votes, have made out.
 
Never understood why people support political sides as if were a football team. This isn’t city vs United, it’s your fucking country and none of these tossers have your best interests at heart. Some of them are working against the country to line their own pockets and it needs sorting !

Bit of a nothing story imo.

Russian electoral interference is already well known about in most Western countries, and it's little surprise they'd support projects and people who want the break-up of the EU, NATO, and the UK.

Struck gold when they got their claws into the orange idiot from across the Atlantic. I suspect that if Trump had been allowed to have it his way the USA would have pulled out of NATO already. Obviously someone 'put him straight'.
 
Well that was a damp squib.
The only thing I wonder about is why publication was blocked in the run up to the election? There is absolutely nothing in that report worth holding back. The report certainly has zero evidence of a cover up.
So the only real foreign intervention is the millions that globalist George Soros and like minded souls ploughed into keeping us in the EU.

Yes, I watched the full briefing, and the simple fact remains that their is
no evidence for either the GE or Referendum being affected by the Russians.
I am perfectly aware of Russian malign intent, everyone is, but when nothing concrete
can be pointed at, how can an investigation prove elections are tainted without
supporting evidence? This is/was just the last throw of the dice for the losers, a forlorn
hope that wanted results overturned, and a refusal to accept the will of the people.

Got fuck all to do with Brexit and all to do with a direct threat to the UK and its democratic process.

Why are you of the opinion that this report was written by some extension of the 'remain' campaign?

What evidence do you have for it?
