Journalist Baranyai criticizes the spread of misinformation regarding Alberta referendum questions while highlighting a severe voter data privacy breach.
Heaped atop these newsworthy concerns, there’s the deeply troubling breach of voter information, a story that grows by the day.. It may take a while to unravel how a party list of voters’ names, home addresses and contact information — which included judges, political figures, and victims of intimate partner violence — was transformed into an easily accessible, searchable database for the pro-separation Centurion Project; how that information was or may yet be used; and how much data was copied before it was taken offline.. The breach has sparked an RCMP investigation, and put the United Conservative Party on the back foot with revelations party officials attended an online meeting with the Centurion Project, two weeks before the app was taken down.. The officials say they were unaware of any data leak.
