Did Facebook, Zuckerberg and Big Data Elect Trump?
New revelations about SCL and CA (Cambridge Analytica) have revealed that they may have even altered the Brexit Vote. In fact an article quotes the CEO of Camridge Analytica as bragging that they got Trump elected using dirty and undetectable tricks.
If any of these is true it is safe to assume that Cambridge Analytica is not alone, and they have likely influenced more than just the US election. What’s more, there could be other companies that Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram and other US based social platforms used data from whether knowingly or unknowingly. This has been the big evil that I’ve warned about for years, that these free social platforms are analyzing and mining your data for bad purposes. Apparently there are no limits to the violation of your privacy, proven social experiments conducted by Facebook and likely the others etc.. It’s all in their TOS essentially. It’s well known that using any of those platforms including Gmail is the same as typing your most personal thoughts and messages to the bots and analysts at the big social media companies and government minders.
Going back to all of this, I thought we were told that it was the Russians who elected Trump (without any evidence ever being provided mind you)? Now it comes out that private companies based in the West have been influencing elections and I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg. The bigger question is who are the clients of Cambridge Analytica? I don’t think we have to look far considering the relationship to the UK government and Royal Family.
