Discussion Cambridge Analytica Exposé (Channel 4 U.K.)

Spoiler

Greetings Nuffian and @Tony .

A video was released just recently from UK that exposed the influence a company has on elections and misleading people. Prompting political parties into illegal behaviour among other things. Hindering a fair and free election from happening.

The video above exposes a main protagonist in this type of Information Warfare and I feel like everyone should realise why they should remain critical toward the internet and their sources. Especially during voting periods and Politics.

What are your thoughts in regards to this reveal?
How do you think people should treat this information?
More importantly, how will you approach this issue when faced with a misinformed close friend/family suffering from this manipulation?

PS. Tony, I feel this video should earn a Sticky down the road.

And Wujigege, your website still doesn't pop cookies warning up. Even with cleared cookies.

 

poltics not allowed... i understand the talking point about misinforation but this gets very political

 

Sorry lad, politic is not allowed here

 

UK is a great ally of US...
Well it's not a surprise for me as US has shown time and again how money buys people's freedom...
US has never revealed any of its work in Area 51, they have not clarified the strange reports of 9/11 being staged (as plane fuel does not melt steel beams, other building collapses without being hit by plane), US attacks Iraq, Yemen , Libya and Syria without any proof or provocation...
But out of all the things that US has done, the scariest has been that Clinton was nominated for President while a lot of people knew she was responsible for ordering assassinations as secretary of state (Bernie was the peoples choice)... It clearly shows how money buys even seats of President

 

Politics is a topic with no final resolution

 

... sometimes stupidity is a bliss ...

 

This thread soon

 

Guess I forgot about the rule in regards to politics. Thought the topic about companies that practice manipulation of real life events to such a severe level wasn't true politics but rather something that is related to the Cookie Warning that relates to categorizing you as an individual and what kind of adverts you are getting. Especially during voting periods.

Ah well. The mods will take action if they deem it too political for their taste. Since I summoned Tony anyhow.

 

Just read the article in BBC news, the guy use 50 million facebook user to influence US presidential Election, by using online Quiz and painting an incorrect picture of candidates
