But they can build that information based on your name, email address used to register, the device you used to log in, the location of the device used to log in, frequency of logins, other sites visited on said device, etc, etc.  They can then cross reference other people with similar information, and work out your date of birth, your other social media profiles, employer, etc.

or when a thicko posts a copy of a driving licence on a forum.......

The thing is with this you don't have to do anything personally to be affected. The way they allegedly did it meant that any friend of anyone completing the questionnaire was mined as well.

As I said previously, this story is not primarily about data mining.

From a British perspective it will be about how money was spent. Who spent that money. And whether Parliament was lied to.

From a US perspective it will be about US electoral law.
