Even though Nix said nothing about Cambridge Analytica’s operations in India in the documentary, the poster seemed to be there to showcase one of the company’s big clients.
A poster of the Congress party’s symbol was spotted at the London office of Cambridge Analytica’s former CEO Alexander Nix in a documentary released last year, The Economic Times reported.
The Congress had denied any links with Cambridge Analytica, which was recently accused of stealing Facebook data to influence elections.
The documentary, titled ‘Secrets of the Silicon Valley’, was released by journalist and tech blogger Jamie Bartlett.
The second part of the two-part documentary series shows a poster of the ‘hand’ symbol of the Congress party, along with its slogan ‘Development for all’ behind Nix as he stands up to greet Bartlett.
