Brexit Data Misuse Legal Outcomes
Dear Colleagues, A little news, if I may ...Arron Banks the funder of the far right LeaveEU/brexit campaign headed by Nigel Farage just lost his court appeal for the £105,000 fines for misuse of data and illegal marketing which resulted from evidence submissions and testimony I submitted to the UK's data regulator the ICO in 2018. these were evidence submissions that resulted in death threats for me. I share here the new Guardian story and links to my evidence from that period https://twitter.com/EmmaLBriant/status/1360914902190338050?s=20 Related to this you might find of interest my academic book chapter on LeaveEU in a highly recommended collection on propaganda: Emma L Briant (2019) ‘LeaveEU: Dark Money, Dark Ads and Data Crimes <https://www.academia.edu/41363178/DRAFT_for_AcademiaEDU_Baines_et_al_Final_MS_Chapter_31_AQ>’ in Paul Baines; Nancy Snow & Nicholas O’Shaughnessy (Eds) SAGE Handbook of Propaganda, Sage: London Many thanks, Emma Dr Emma L Briant Bard College -- Dr Emma L Briant Independent Researcher/Author/Analyst Associate Researcher at Human Rights Program Bard College, Annandale on Hudson New York Website: www.emma-briant.co.uk Author of: *Propaganda and Counter-Terrorism: Strategies for Global Change *from Manchester University Press Co-Author of: *Bad News for Refugees* with Prof. Greg Philo and Dr. Pauline Donald from Pluto Press.
