Here's a short thread of the questions I asked the Information Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, on the ICO’s investigation into Cambridge Analytica's seized servers and use of personal data. @CommonsDCMS

Firstly, I asked the Information Commissioner about the US Intelligence Committee's report and if they had contacted the ICO to receive evidence that had been seized from Cambridge Analytica's servers. She says she hasn't been contacted but would share if officially requested.
In April 2019 the ICO office promised a report into the
seizure of some of Cambridge Analytica's servers. I asked the Commissioner why the @CommonsDCMS only received a letter and not a report as stated.
Next I asked about material which fell outside of the ICO's investigation but wasn't passed onto other authorities. The Commissioner says they have passed on data to the National Crime Agency, but they are in consultation with experts on what should be retained or disposed.
I then asked about new evidence which has come to light since the ICO's investigation which shows the relationship between Cambridge Analytica and AIQ is a lot closer than the ICO's findings stated.
I asked the Commissioner if the new evidence, which has come from Brittany Kaiser, has any relevance to the investigation and with new evidence still coming to light if it is wise to destroy data from the servers.
In 2018 Mark Zuckerberg testified in a US Senate Select Committee and promised Facebook would do a full audit of the Cambridge Analytica server data once the ICO investigation had been completed. I asked the Commissioner if the ICO has been contacted by Facebook for their audit.
Finally I asked the Commissioner about the ICO's report into political parties, the main credit reference agencies and the major data brokers, as well as Cambridge University's Psychometrics Centre.

More from Government

They shouldn't be.

The pattern is:
GOP in power - GOP dictates policy

Dems in power - GOP dictates policy


The Dems shouldn't legislate toward the GOP.

The GOP doesn't represent its constituents.

The GOP can push it's agenda on its own time.

If Dems push an agenda that actually helps people, it'll also actually help the GOP constituency.

The GOP won't. So give them nothing.

The Dems should ignore the GOP just like the GOP ignores the Dems.

Make them pay for every moment of obstruction.

Just a hard press on legislation that is unassailable and shine a light on the GOP.

Constant. Relentless. Unyielding.

Shut them out and shut them down.

The GOP is not a legitimate political party. It is an anti-democratic, fascist criminal syndicate with no interest whatsoever in governance.

Nobody should give them the slightest bit of credit or legitimacy ever again.

Not a fucking ounce.

Nobody should engage them in legitimate debate in Congress.

They should be pariahs and treated as unserious occupants of Congress.

Because these people were totally ok with their colleagues being killed in furtherance of the destruction of the insitution.
