Cambridge Analytica Reportedly Trying to Stop Broadcast of Undercover Report

 

Cambridge Analytica, the Trump campaign-linked data firm in the spotlight after being suspended by Facebook, is reportedly trying to stop the airing of a news report.

Channel 4 has already released an in-depth interview with whistleblower Christopher Wylie on this significant “data grab.”

But according to the Financial Times, there’s more coming from Channel 4, including undercover information they gathered from “secretly filmed” meetings with people at the company.

And one of the people they apparently spoke to was chief executive Alexander Nix.

The FT report says that the data firm is trying to stop the undercover report from airing.
