Cambridge Analytica Sent Foreigners for U.S. Campaigns

“Cambridge Analytica dispatched dozens of non-U.S. citizens to provide campaign strategy and messaging advice to Republican candidates in 2014, according to three former workers for the data firm, even as an attorney warned executives to abide by U.S. laws limiting foreign involvement in elections,” the Washington Post reports.

Said one: “We knew that everything was not above board, but we weren’t too concerned about it.”

Because sometimes a little knowledge may be dangerous, but it's useful. Better than no knowledge whatsoever.
