In the same week that LeaveEU launched its official campaign, @Arron_banks & @andywigmore were invited to the @RussianEmbassy twice...once before the event with Cambridge Analytica's Brittany Kaiser, and once after...

MEPs should insist the Mark Zuckerberg evidence session on Tuesday is broadcast. @facebook has profited from the openness of user data on its platform but wants to hide itself from public scrutiny in the UK and the rest of Europe. https://t.co/TkaFdbYTIp

Remember. SCL & Cambridge Analytica are disinformation specialists. What exactly are they shutting down & why? https://t.co/KKsBYkCCTz

Another election, another massive distortion of news & information system. This time in plain sight. Terrific sleuthing from @gavinsblog on how YouTube & Facebook are facilitating dark money ad campaigns ahead of Ireland's historic abortion vote..who's behind them? And what now?? https://t.co/98PL2CSvbE

Guess what? When people get mad, things can change and companies like #CambridgeAnalytica shut down 😉 https://t.co/pgmLrhUUyP

Cambridge Analytica is shutting down. The firm with ties to Trump's campaign says the Facebook data scandal drove away business. https://t.co/WT197ii5eO

Clear History and Dating on @Facebook, Group video calls on @WhatsApp, Oculus Go on sale globally, #AR Camera on @instagram and more. Here are all the highlights from Day 1 of Facebook's #F8 Conference. https://t.co/8scuDmhMUO

Facebook announces they're developing a control to limit how they collect data about you on other websites and apps.

Now they just need a catchy name, like, I don't know, "Do Not Track" . . .

Another great question to Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer in today’s UK hearing:
"Why has facebook just moved 1.2 billion accounts from the Ireland to American, if your [facebook] so committed to GDPR"?

We wrote up why this matters (and whether it’s even possible!) here: https://t.co/bLFhd6D8uM

Facebook is rolling out its new terms & conditions. If you're not comfortable with Mark Zuckerberg knowing what you look like, do this: click the small blue arrow in the top corner of the screen > click settings > click facial recognition > turn the setting to off

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

OMG. Facebook. Just. Doesn't. Get. It. Paul Farrelly,MP: "You're a player in this. Accept it. You're not a neutral platform." Facebook CTO: "We try to offer advice to any customer of ours who wants to use our product better." The whole problem. In one q & a, right here.

Excitement mounts. Cambridge Analytica’s first ever press conference about to kick off...what are your questions?

Last July, I used Moneysupermarket for a car insurance quote. In January I found out they'd passed that personal info to Arron Banks's company. This week, parliament was told he used insurance data to campaign for Brexit. Creepy? Much?

I have accepted invitations to testify next week at the US House Intelligence Committee and House Judiciary Committee. Democracies around the world are under threat from malicious actors who seek to use social media as an information battleground. We must take this seriously.

A confidential audit of Facebook's privacy practices submitted to the FTC in April 2017 found nothing wrong. The auditor was @pwc. the audit (embedded) has 30 pages of redactions about the test Pricewaterhouse Coopers conducted on FB's privacy controls https://t.co/5gvlbfaDe7
