This article is so full of BS, I don’t even know where to start.

1. Saying that CA was active as a company in 1994? Dec 2014 was the point where they formed and existed as CA.

2. Involved in 1994 in the South African election? There was marginal internet existing in the region in 1994. No social media existed. In all of South Africa at the time, I would take a guess that no more than 3,000 people had actual email accounts.

3. To suggest they were involved in Kenyan elections? Pure speculation....zero facts.

4. “Open to manipulation”. The minute you bring up any African election or country....the word manipulation is the theme that drives the entire election. All parties are prone to manipulation

I could continue on, but I think this was more of a fictional piece created to fit into the news. The fact that VoA carries it? It would lead me to wonder who is the manipulator here.

I've been trying to make sense of the article, too. I've determined that the 1994 reference is talking about Cambridge Analytica's parent company, SCL Group. Presumably, any election influencing done then was via non-Internet media.
