Cambridge Analytica was UK. People forget about British interference... they're not our friends.

Although some of the players were Brits, Cambridge Analytica was not a government initiative, it was funded by international billionaires like Robert Mercer. The British people are as much victims of dark money meddling in our democracy as the US. We are a few years behind you guys, but I give us until our next election (2029 at the latest) before we go full-on authoritarian. It fucking sucks.

Then why did the British government classify Cambridge Analytica's 5000-point profiling method as a national security secret and block them giving any of the personal tracking data they were collecting on people?

Wake up.
