When the stories came out they prompted international outrage, and made Cambridge Analytica an unlikely household name. A second former Cambridge Analytica employee, Brittany Kaiser, also went on the record to reveal further details of the company’s inner workings to the Guardian. It maintains it is 100% Canadian owned and operated, and not a direct part or branch of Cambridge Analytica. “AIQ never worked or even communicated in any way with Cambridge Analytica or any other parties related to Cambridge Analytica with respect to the Brexit campaign,” he said. Although Cambridge Analytica might be dead, the team behind it has already set up a new company called Emerdata.
