So the daughter of ES (Eric Schmidt) worked for Cambridge Analytica. I found that an interesting fact this morning.
In the article I wonder if the Steve Bannon that's on the US Cambridge Analytica board was the Steve Bannon that POTUS fired.
The daughter of Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt (ES) interned at controversial data company Cambridge Analytica, the company’s CEO confirmed today to the UK's Culture Media and Sport select committee.
Cambridge Analytica is a young offshoot of an older UK company, Strategic Communications Laboratories, now the SCL Group. SCL claims in its marketing to have influenced elections worldwide.
The Google connection was unexpected, but sounded tenuous. “[Eric Schmidt's daughter Sophie Schmidt] did not introduce me to her father or [to] Peter Thiel,” Nix said. Thiel’s own CIA-backed data analytics operation Palantir can be thought of as competing with SCL.

Figured I would make this a post, rather than making others go to the link to read. Those are the three sections that stood out to me. I'm not the best at articulating so I apologize if the content of this post is not up to par.
