Research dossier
For those who might be interested in expanding this page, here is a link to a research dossier on Cambridge Analytica. Obviously not everything would be suitable for a wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.155.52.6 (talk) 20:54, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Trump 2016 campaign
Their website states "Cambridge Analytica provided the Donald J. Trump for President campaign with the expertise and intelligence that helped win the White House, causing the most remarkable victory in modern U.S. political history. " Yet the article states "In 2016, the company said that it had not used psychographics in the Trump presidential campaign." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonycat (talk • contribs) 10:40, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Criticism:FBI Investigation
It seems that this section title is not in line with the articles cited, or with other news articles on the subject. There are references to a Congressional Investigation, but none to anything by the FBI. I would propose to at a minimum change the title to "Congressional Investigation".

In addition, it should be titled something like "Alleged Congressional Investigation" and should include that a spokesman for the company is quoted in the Time article as saying they were unaware of the probe, and the company has no ties to Russia - "A spokesperson for Cambridge Analytica says the company has no ties to Russia or individuals acting as fronts for Moscow and that it is unaware of the probe."

It also probably is more WP:NPOV to include something about the doubts regarding the companies involvement - "There are plenty of people who are skeptical of such a conspiracy, if one existed." and "Nobody can prove it yet".

It certainly is relevant and NPOV to include information about any alleged ties, or alleged investigations, but there should be context provided including the companies denial and questions as to the veracity of the allegations raised- particularly in the same source cited. I would prefer that to be in some short format so that this one section doesn't grow.

In the meantime, if there isn't good reason to keep the title "FBI Investigation" I'll change it tomorrow.

Thanks! Fullyladenswallow (talk) 21:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Brixit Russian interests
Brexit and weakening or destroying the European Union is probably first over American tinkering, and that is when Cambridge Analytica first came to notoriety. It was later after the brexit success that it's targeting was used the the US elections to promote and benefit the Trump Campaign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tymes (talk • contribs) 02:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Importance assessment of article should be increased
I suggest raising the article's importance to a high level in regards to the WikiProject Politics. Recent articles suggest Cambridge Analytica has been involved in political "psychographic analysis" targeting of elections in the US, Europe, South America, and Africa Additonally, even though they deny it, they appear to have been collaborating or marketing their services to Russia. These campaigns have had high success over expectations that were much lower. The political ramifications of this work is staggering. The page count of the article has tripled recently.

Cambridge Analytica and Project Alamo
Before you study this subject, you MUST see this short BBC video (4:41 min.). Prepare to have your mind blown. This is not a conspiracy theory. At the end of the sources is a search on the subject.

Project Alamo was the digital team behind the Trump campaign. Kushner was in charge of digital operations:


 * BBC Video. Tweeted Aug. 13, 2017. Project Alamo: Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, Google, and YouTube worked hand-in-hand with the Trump campaign.

Then read this:


 * Why the Trump Machine Is Built to Last Beyond the Election. October 27, 2016

They started with bragging at their efficiency, success, and collaboration with Facebook, et al. The Trump campaign, Cambridge Analytica (CA), Facebook, Google, and YouTube were working very closely together all along. I was dumbfounded at the time with how open they were about it, and wondered how that could be legal.

According to recent sources (below), their tune has changed to denials and a cover-up, but those historical sources show they knew and colluded together, and CA is now under criminal investigation. Both CA and FB are pointing fingers at each other, and this paints a pretty clear picture of damage control and cover-up (using a false "data breach" story).

That is the background one must understand before reading sources. Then it all makes sense. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 04:23, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Is this actually scandalous, or even unusual?
What I understand so far is that in 2014, Cambridge Analytica hired someone to conduct research via Facebook, and maybe the manner in which this was done, went against Facebook's terms of service. And now four years later, Facebook has banned Cambridge Analytica from advertising there, and meanwhile the media is beside itself with delighted horror, because CA played a role in the Trump campaign.

What I would primarily like to know is whether any of what happened is exceptional for the world of political big data and analytics. It is apparent, after all, that from the media's perspective, this story is just part of the extensive campaign to discredit every person and organization which had anything to do with getting Trump elected, and to erect a narrative according to which Trump's victory, and even Brexit, were the result of misinformation.

There is no attempt to put the facts in perspective - and yet we were also told that unprecedented big data was instrumental in Obama's 2012 victory. So could it be that there is an element of hypocrisy here? I don't even know where to turn in order to find out. Mporter (talk) 09:55, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Not here. This isn't a forum where we can discuss whether this is a scandal or whatever. Doug Weller  talk 11:42, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Eitan Hersh is an authoritative expert on the subject
One editor removed an attributed POV from an authoritative expert on the precise topic of microtargeting voters (e.g. he has published on the topic in the top journals and academic presses in political science). It was sourced to a blog post on Reason.com. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:49, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I can see the credibility of Hersh. Ideally we'd represent his views with a source better than a blog citing a tweet, though.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:58, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, but I think we generally give leeway with authoritative experts though (self-published blogs etc.), and this is unfortunately a take that the Wikipedia article doesn't sufficiently cover. I don't really have the time at the moment to search, but I'm sure you could find similar statements by political scientists in high-quality RS (e.g. NYT, WaPo) disputing CA's alleged effectiveness going back 18 months. Political scientists are extremely skeptical that CA can do what the company claims it does. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:08, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

new press
Too lazy to log in, if someone could please add a version of this: 67.254.79.152 (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2018 (UTC) On March 16, the New York Times and London’s Observer reported that Cambridge Analytics had "harvested private information from more than 50 million Facebook users in developing techniques to support President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign." This number represented about a third of active North American Facebook users, and a quarter of potential Americans voters.

Dirty tricks
Nice new source: Guardian article. If I get time later... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:07, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Should something be added regarding what Channel 4 just published regarding the "election tricks" that Cambridge Analytica's people admitted to doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpbeOCKZFfQ 01:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BananaBaron (talk • contribs)

to many "that"s?
Under Criticism, the text says:

On 25 October 2017, Julian Assange said that on Twitter[49] that he had been approached by Cambridge Analytica, but said he had rejected its proposal.

I guess it's the first "that" which should be removed, as he said the quoted on Twitter?

MarketWatch: Cambridge Analytica CEO suspended after taking credit for Trump campaign on video
"The chief executive of political data company Cambridge Analytica took credit for running key elements of Donald Trump’s winning presidential campaign in hidden video broadcast Tuesday by the U.K.’s Channel 4 News." Ward20 (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We can try to be savvy about this. Per Carol Cadwalladr, there are multiple/shell companies here; CA has no actual employees.  Nix has been suspended by CA, but he remains in place for other entities controlled by SCL.  In other words, nothing has changed.  See, , and .  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 05:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * @ Nomoskedasticity (talk) - you are right. I checked out the company house official records for CA and Nix - the latter is the director, ceo or just holds the designation 'communication' for at least ten companies of CA. Their names sound straight out of a bad spy novel - SCL elections ltd, Firecrest technologies, Emerdata ltd, SCL digital, SCL analytics (some have exited for an year and then been dissolved - kind of what CA themselves said in the channel 4 undercovers). All one staff companies, all registered in the same two addresses - either St. James or Westferry circus - Canary wharf. A pity I am not currently in London, else out of sheer curiosity I would like to see what actually exists at "Pkf Littlejohn, Level 2, 1 Westferry Circus, London, England, E14 4HD" (their official registered address)!

A fairly detailed article about Cambridge Analytica and the Cruz campaign
This fills in some more specifics about the problems Cruz had with Cambridge Analytica's services.

It would appear that Cambridge Analytica may have had a more developed data set during Trump's campaign than Cruz's campaign. Need an article comparing the two. Ward20 (talk) 00:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Weren't they already working for Trump, long before the official campaign, IOW, were they sabotaging all opponents? -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 22:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I'm starting to get a bit confused as to the activities that supposedly went on with this company. I've seen a lot of contradictory details reported as 'he said, she said'. It seems to me some news organizations are publishing rushed articles without much fact checking so they can cash in on the publicity. It's a bit overwhelming Ward20 (talk) 00:41, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Headquarters
-> http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43476594 "CA, which is based in London, denies any wrongdoing." -> also Nix and Wylie are Londoners, correct it already instead of locking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.227.119.207 (talk) 09:04, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * This page is really only on my watchlist so I can see how the story develops, but I will note, the BBC source appears reliable, and the sources cited in the infobox (Buzzfile, Bloomberg) probably are not. Those sites are just clearinghouses and publish information provided by the companies themselves, with little or no verification. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Cambridge Analytica is indeed headquartered in NYC. The BBC is just taking into account the parent/controlling company SCL which is based in London. Buzzfile and Bloomberg's data is from D&B and S&P respectively which are both very reliable. Gotitbro (talk) 01:02, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * To add to the above, CA (NYC) is like a brand for the SCL Group (London) which is the one carrying out the main operations. This probably is the reason why CA is being referred to as a London based organisation by media outlets even though it isn't. I think it would be better if the two articles (SCL and CA) were merged, there is not a lot of clarity currently. Gotitbro (talk) 03:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I would expect the NYC detail is more probable because foreign nationals can not manage or participate in any campaign committee’s decision-making processes. Ward20 (talk) 03:37, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * In the absence of reliable sources this is really all just speculation. Digging through Google News I'm seeing a bunch of independent reliable sources echoing BBC and saying CA's headquarters is in London, while I'm finding none saying it's in New York. If someone finds one, please post it. The Buzzfile and Bloomberg listings are not independent as the data was submitted by CA itself, and they may just reflect paperwork designed to satisfy US election laws. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Emerdata
"The power players behind Cambridge Analytica have set up a new company — and the daughters of Donald Trump-supporting billionaire Robert Mercer have just joined as directors." This certain deserves a mention.- MrX 🖋 12:56, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * And, Nix is the CEO, . The idea that he has been "suspended" is pretty dubious.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 13:56, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree.- MrX 🖋 14:18, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * He may have been suspended from Cambridge Analytica but he's still a director of its parent company, SCL Group Limited. Besides the Mercer sisters and Nix, guess who else is a director of Emerdata Limited? Mr Johnson Chun Shun Ko, of Frontier Services Group (remember Eric Prince, the would-be vice-roy of Afghanistan?) and a guy from the Seychelles, but that's purely coincidence, I'm sure.

Brexit
According to Reuters, Leave.EU and CA have both boasted in the past about CA's work for the Leave campaign, something they now seem to be denying. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-facebook-cambridge-analytica-leave-eu/explainer-what-are-the-links-between-cambridge-analytica-and-a-brexit-campaign-group-idUKKBN1GX2IQ I've seen screencaps of the Leave.EU webpage where they used to make this boast.

Channel 4 and the British state
Channel 4 News, the main source of the current international controversy surrounding the topic of this article, like the BBC are closely connected to the British state and intelligence agencies. Given that the British attempted to meddle in the US election through Christopher Steele cooking up the dodgy Trump-Russia dossier, this fact perhaps needs to be pointed out here. The British absolutely favoured the victory of Hillary Clinton in the US election. She has been lavished with awards from Chatham House and her husband Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar. If this was an "exposé" by Russia Today about a US organisation, we would be making extremely clear who the source of the claims were every other sentence throughout, same should apply to the British, their POV (or sour grapes that their horse didn't win as it were) and their claims about the US election. Claíomh Solais (talk) 17:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Channel 4 News is broadcast on Channel 4 but is produced by ITN. Keeping that in mind what edit do you suggest to the article? --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * "The" British? You mean like Nigel Farage, FoxNews contributor and Trump compadre?  A Chatham House award in 2013 for Hillary Clinton's work as Secretary of State, her husband's Rhodes scholarship back in the sixties?  "... the British attempted to meddle in the US election through Christopher Steele cooking up the dodgy Trump-Russia dossier ...?"  Oh my! Your bias is showing.  Space4Time3Continuum2x (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Given that the article is about a US-based organisation and primarily the US election, I propose that we mention in the introduction that the "exposé" which led to an international controversy about this organisation originated from British-media. Getting the word "British" in the introduction in regards to the controversy is essential, because that is exactly what we would do if it was from Russian-media or Chinese-media.

 * I don't think this is necessary. Equitable treatment is not the same as identical treatment. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * So we can trust the British a priori and take their word for it because they are members of the glorious Anglo-Saxon master race, but we need to be careful with those shifty Slavs and their mind control bots? How does that work? Given that Wikipedia has an NPOV policy to uphold, surely we should not be favouring certain nations and disfavouring others, but rather holding a neutral position on international affairs. Claíomh Solais (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I suggest you read WP:NPOV before quoting it and stop with your original research. If you have sources about British bias in relation to CA, then please present them, else remember that this is not a forum. SmartSE (talk) 19:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * The OP's reasoning is a non-starter, but if the proposal is merely to identify Channel 4 as a British public service broadcaster then I'm for it.

Founding date
We need to stop relying on primary sources such as corporate filings to say when the organization was founded or established.

Spin off of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica data breach
See Facebook and Cambridge Analytica data breach.

There is Category:Data breaches which contains stand alone Wikipedia articles about data breaches. We have to have a way to separate this big event, which includes many organizations, individuals, governments, and popular discussions, from the stand alone concept of Cambridge Analytica.

Criticism
Just to explain my recent refactoring: I didn't add or remove any text. The purpose of this refactor is to avoid development of a criticism ghetto before it starts.

Affected Facebook users should be updated from 50 million to 87 million.

This: The data about the 50 million Facebook users were acquired from 270,000 Facebook users who shared the data with the app "thisisyourdigitallife". By giving this third-party app permission to acquire their data, back in 2015, this also gave the app information about the friend network of those people, which resulted in information about 50 million users. The app developer breached Facebook's terms of service by giving the data to Cambridge Analytica.
