Cambridge Analytica worked “extensively” in India, and operated a system of “modern day colonialism,” globally undermining democratic processes across the world, a British parliamentary committee heard on Tuesday, as Christopher Wylie, the whistleblower who blew the lid on the firm’s gathering of data from Facebook, gave evidence, which drew in issues relating to Brexit, the US election campaign, and other elections across the world.

He told MPs that the company had worked on “all kinds of projects” in India, including regionally, and believed “their client was Congress,” he said, adding that he believed he had documentation he could provide relating to work in India. “They do have offices there, they do have staff,” he said. “I don’t remember a national project,” he said on Tuesday. “I mean India is so big, one state could be as big as Britain,” he said in response to Labour MP Paul Farrelly.

During his testimony he built a picture of the work carried out by Cambridge Analytica, and AggregateIQ (AIQ), a Canadian-based company that had played a role in political processes across the world. They included particularly concerning instances of the role AIQ had played in disseminating violent video content by social media in Nigeria, as part of work there.

‘Modern day colonialism’

Cambridge Analytica was an example of “modern day colonialism,” he suggested at one point. “This is a company that has gone around the world and undermined the democratic process,” he said. “You have a wealthy company from a developed nation going into an economy or democracy still struggling to get its feet on the ground and taking advantage of that.”

Among allegations made by Wylie was the suggestion that Vote Leave, one of the main campaigns that pushed for Brexit, may have broken Britain’s electoral rules that went beyond existing concerns around spending infractions, over the role that AIQ, a Canadian-based firm played in the campaign. “This is not about leave or remain. It’s about the integrity of the democratic process,” said Wylie, a former Cambridge Analytica employee, who earlier this month, revealed details of how the firm had inappropriately gathered Facebook data used to target voters in the US, dating back to 2014, using an app developed by Cambridge psychologist Aleksandr Kogan. Wylie insisted, that despite his “pink hair and nose ring” he was one of the “rare breeds of progressive Eurosceptics.”
