Whistleblower: Cambridge Analytica couldn’t work with Democrats
One of the people testifying before the panel of senators is none other than whistleblower Christopher Wylie, the former director of research at CA who helped break the story earlier this year.

canary in the coal mine to a new Cold War emerging online," he said. "We
must address the digital echo chambers that are being exploited to
algorithmically segregate American society. Online communities should

began investing "tens of millions" of dollars in CA, the only
restriction the firm had was to not do any work for Democratic political
candidates.
