They really chose the domain 'Cambridge Analytica', named after the Facebook scandal?

    Is this not the exact same Cambridge Analytica? Wikipedia seems to say this is their domain.

    Their legal notice https://cambridgeanalytica.org/legal-notice/ says

    The website cambridgeanalytica.org is published by Vortexlab Digital Marketing, a digital media and research-oriented publishing company headquartered in:

    Dubai Silicon Oasis, DDP, Building A1
    Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    Wikipedia says:

    (Cambidge Analytica) closed operations in 2018 due to backlash from the data scandal
