This issue is too important to remain an academic discussion. This is a far fetched link and requires stretched imagination, and might not obvious to many, in any case here goes: almost 3 decades ago, in Mogadishu, we were facing a bunch of crazy guys, the international community used words like violent rascals, etc. The good folks ignored them, while they kept on growing until the violent rascals (aka Alshabab) destroyed a whole country and along the way, managed to rewrite history... a la black hawk down, piracy, etc. etc. - it is better to act and stop in any way possible whenever we feel legitimate institutions are attacked... and here is clear case where elections and democracy itself are under attack.... my 2 cents from Mogadishu... the bad guys win because the good folks are too busy doing good stuff. ;-)<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Mohamed</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 25, 2018 at 12:22 AM, Richard Hill <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rhill@hill-a.ch" target="_blank">rhill@hill-a.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I am cross-posting this because I think it is relevant for this topic.<br>

<br>
Not to hijack this thread, which I appreciate is about ISOC's statement on this topic, but I hope you do not mind if I share Privacy International's excellent statement as well.<br>
<br>
They published this a few days ago and it contains seven very clear ASKs of policymakers:<br>
<br>

<br>
In my opinion these are seven smart, sensible, concrete proposals that would actually address the problems at the root of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.<br>
<br>
