The data analytics firm that worked with Donald Trump's election team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of Facebook profiles of US voters, in the tech giant's biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box. A whistleblower has revealed to the Observer how Cambridge Analytica - a company owned by the hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, and headed at the time by Trump's key adviser Steve Bannon - used personal information taken without authorisation in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements. Christopher Wylie, who worked with an academic at Cambridge University to obtain the data, told the Observer: "We exploited Facebook to harvest millions of people's profiles. And built models to exploit what we knew about them and target their inner demons. That was the basis that the entire company was built on." |

So what does it all mean? We put our personal info out there on public display, and then get mad because somebody uses it to further their agenda. I think the problem is the guy with the money was from the wrong side of the political spectrum. If the pink hair and nose ring crowd had used it to further their agenda it would have been a non issue. I could never understand why people are so willing to put their lives on public display, I guess it's the vanity.

He doesn't even know what happened but he's already trying to justify it.

Ok lets see, Cambridge Analytica was paid to identify people likely to vote for trump, and then advertise to them to secure their vote? High crimes and treason no doubt.

We have laws to limit the amount of influence individuals can have in elections, requiring disclosure of who is financing the propaganda, and prohibiting foreign influence. They clearly violated all if that.

I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Neither is colluding with the Russians. Working with a hostile foreign government is highly illegal. ------------------------- I was right. |

$12 million for the dossier, paid to a former British spy, to distribute among a bunch of lying Russians, leading to a bogus collusion investigation. We will see.

He's an Illegitimate president. A bastard. Got any proof of that? I would suggest that if you do you supply it immediately to very 'special' agent Robert Mueller! He's been looking for it for 18 months at a cost of untold millions of dollars. He and his crack team of ALL democrap high priced lawyers haven't found a lick of evidence to prove your allegation to date....but low and behold you obviously have what they need! Be a patriot and turn it over! Our country depends on your PROMPT delivery of your material proving this allegation! FOOL! ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |
