    Mass harvesting of personal data from social media raises plenty of legitimate concerns -- but there's also a danger in holding up one firm as uniquely evil, in order to explain away deeper political problemshttps://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/975756418128187393 …

    BIGGEST SECRET ABOUT CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA: It was (& is) an overpriced service that delivered little value to the TRUMP campaign, & the other campaigns & PACs that retained it — most of which hired the firm because it was seen as a prerequisite for receiving $$$ from the MERCERS.

        hard to get away from the unique place Facebook occupies given the user data it has. No other platform stores remotely as much personal information about remotely as many users.

        Anyone who doesn’t know this is normal operating procedure just needs a primer on data analytics. This has been going on for years and Facebooks knows that. Heck, I email my mother about Cabo and the next thing you know, there are pop-up ads for travel deals to Mexico.

        remember I said I’d go back in time to warn people of society that loses control of weaponry, technology — even some combination of the two. feel like even their tinkering at the margins (as you expressed well) I’m living through the fallout from distortions of technology.

        "It allowed us to move into the hearts and minds of voters in a way that had never been done before" - Christopher Wylie But no, let's listen to Michael Tracey's deep analysis instead of the whistleblower who actually worked on the technology.

        How effective Cambridge Analytica is is not completely clear. The only thing we know is that Trump got his few votes exactly where he needed them. And that suggests excellent data science. Also, we know Robert Mercer made a fortune applying data science to finance.
