UK Information Commissioner's Office raids Cambridge Analytica's London office

The London offices of soi-dissant Facebook mind-control sorcerers Cambridge Analytica were raided by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, after a judge issued a search warrant for material related to the illegal acquisition of 50,000,000 Facebook profiles by the company.

Cambridge Analytica said it was, however, undertaking an independent audit to verify that it no longer has any of the Facebook data.

“We in no way resemble the politically motivated and unethical company that some have sought to portray,” acting CEO Alexander Tayler said. “The company believed that the data had been obtained in line with Facebook’s terms of service and data protection laws.”
