Privacy campaigners have expressed alarm after the government revealed it had hired an artificial intelligence firm to collect and analyse the tweets of UK citizens as part of a coronavirus-related contract.
londoner_007 Apparently the slogan was “take control” until they later added “back”.
tyrrellg The last sentence in this Guardian article is quite interesting: “The Scott Trust, the ultimate owner of the Guardian, is the sole investor in GMG Ventures, which is a minority shareholder in Faculty.”
Nobody is doing anything about it. They can do what they like as they are completely unchallenged on everything they do.
Analyse this.. get this guy behind the bar!
UAZXOF Is he trying to conduct a Covid nasal swab? Or inhale a mind-numbing powder to block the reality of the deepest sh!t he's in?
So Cummings has a private consultancy firm and the owners of the Guardian are shareholders in the AI company Faculty. Lines blurred
CarolMa98983829 Analyse this dom!
Anything you tweet is in the public domain. It would be common sense to analysis free to access data. I just don’t think it is representative of the majority.

Analyse this...i think boris and his cabinet is a big pile of steaming turd.
Britain, you're being spied upon by your government and they're reading/analysing your personal, private tweets. Remember that when something odd happens, a knock at the door, you don't get a job/interview, or an application for something - possibly financial - is turned down.
British coast are been invaded by hundreds of illegals Africans every day and the FakeNews guardian choose to run with this old fish.
Oooh lavely.
What ?
China's influence is obvious...
It's becoming more & more transparent why Cummings has Boris' arse on a plate & won't go... the amount of dodgy things Cummings has done via his or his buddies' companies for the Conservatives is incredible. Meanwhile, they use COVID19 to get contracts to enrich themselves
🥱🥱🥱
isnt that illegal re data protection and actually spying on innocent citizens
PryorJeffrey UK taxpayers paying for their own tweets to be analysed will someone make an application on behalf of the UK citizens whose tweets were analysed to discover what the outcome of this study showed - I'd be interested
Considering how relatively 'easy' it is to influence twitter trends using machine learning to pick out code words in tweets can lead to the very real scenario that government policy could be influenced by a twitter 'trend'. Twitter is not a true representation of public opinion
Oh come on. Clearly we lack any system of checks or balances in UK politics and the boundary of what stunts the government is willing to pull is just getting more extreme. They've realised they can do and day what they want and what can we do about it?
Look he's got one of those secret mikes - come-in Rubberduck - over.
Sod Faculty; sod the government’s response to Covid; sod de Piffle; sod Cummings. There...public opinion round my way.
Commission Cummings
Analyse this🖕
Surely this is explosive! Can government or Conservative party do this? Do comservatives know that they are being spied on. I thought conservatives were very upset at the idea of privacy being invaded.
They don’t need to pay a company to analyse the UK citizens tweets, it’s simple, many people think the UK government is corrupt and useless and everyone else have been blinded by the corruption and lies
Cannot believe anyone would be surprised at this.. Control freak Cummings and his right wing agenda. Not as if it costs them anything.
Scum.
