LONDON (Reuters) - A Cambridge Analytica whistleblower said on Tuesday that Canadian company AggregateIQ worked on software called Ripon which was used to identify Republican voters ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
AggregateIQ did not immediately respond to request for comment on the remarks by Christopher Wylie, a whistleblower formerly of British political consultancy Cambridge Analytica.
Wylie has previously disclosed how users data from Facebook was used by Cambridge Analytica to help elect U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ripon, the town in which the Republican Party was founded in 1854, was the name given to a tool that let a campaign manage its voter database, target specific voters, conduct canvassing, manage fundraising and carry out surveys.
Theres now tangible proof in the public domain that AIQ actually built Ripon, which is the software that utilised the algorithms from the Facebook data, Wylie told the British Parliaments Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
AggregateIQ told Reuters on March 24 that it had never been and is not a part of Cambridge Analytica nor ever entered into a contract with Cambridge Analytica.

Heh....love it. Nice slapdown of Lady Loser.
Another reason why the Dems are pushing "Russia".....
anything to make Hillary feel good about her stupid decisions.
So??? I worked for a software company that did the same thing in 1992 - 1995. So what! We used voter registration rolls and vote patterns to do it. BFD!!! Nothingburger here other than OMG, Republicans did it! That's EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!!!
Stupid media.
Dems want to figure out how to outlaw GOP benefit from social media.
Only Dems can mine for votes.....
Who would trust a guy with pink hair saying he is disturbed?! I mean really, where do they find these people?
p
They want the gun control approach.
Make it illegal for normal people, hire armed guards for themselves.
Make use of social media illegal for Republicans, then steal the data themselves (and lawyer up if caught).
More hyperbole.
So ?
Maybe this is what Mueller’s Special prosecutor is for - to root out every technique and individual that helped elect Trump, so they can be attacked and destroyed.
So?
Just placing my comment here.
Re Law Prof. James Sample of Hofstra and his criticism of the new Census reporting rule. he said that it would keep people from filling out the census forms.
WHAT AN ASSHOLE. If illegals don’t fill out the forms, then they will not be counted in the congressional district apportionment, which is what the law was intended to do.
Illegals who falsely claim to be US citizens and are caught will have just earned a One-Way Ticket to Tacoland or Lumumbaland. This is called “VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD” if they try to vote or have voted illegally in the past. Their census form can be used against them re conviction and/or deportation.
What doesn’t this so-called “law professor” understand about the law he supposedly teaches?
I would say, “A helluva lot”!
I was blessed with law professors who actually knew the Constitution and defended it, and they were mostly liberals, honorable men and women to who the Constitution and Bill of Rights applied to every American, not just the elite Marxists and Racists.
