I don't know anything about CA though (sounds a bit conspiratorial?). There's a new movie about it: 'The Great Hack' on Netflix. Basically, Cambridge Analytica, a UK-based political consulting firm [UK intelligence or a private security firm??], surreptitiously obtained more than 87 million Facebook member profiles, using that data to assist the Leave campaign in the Brexit vote and the Trump 2016 presidential campaign. Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr got to expose the story - and may discuss it on her panel on Russia (alongside Luke Harding and others) at the Byline Journalism Festival in Surrey this weekend, according to their programme of events -- bylinefestival.com
