Data—arguably the world’s most valuable asset—is being weaponized to wage cultural and political wars. The dark world of data exploitation is uncovered through the unpredictable, personal journeys of players on different sides of the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data story.

If you want me to save you roughly two hours, data rights are important and we need to talk about how to categorize them and hold large data companies accountable. If you want to read what I thought of The Great Hack, read on.
Under-specific, disjointed, overproduced, unreliably presented, overtly biased, and passively boring. There is an interesting overuse of the word Psychology and it's numerous suffixes, and an equally interesting complete lack of the word Sociology and it's suffixes in this picture. This leaves me with a feeling that the people speaking are not informed specialists on how to perceive individual behavior on a macroscopic scale.
If and when a Documentarian is entrenched not just physically but morally and…
So...political propaganda and manufacturing consent started with the 2016 election and Brexit? Could have fooled me. Guess they never heard of people like Edward Bernays and Henry Kissinger then. This doc is absurd in its presuppositions that private industry influence on national elections is some new phenomena, even the use of data (guess they missed Adam Curtis’s several docs on this subject over the last 20 years). No, it’s just more sophisticated now. The whole doc is a lot of bells and whistles but they never actually say anything of real merit expect Cambridge Analytica skirted the rules and frankly in making the story of 2016 election oversimplified of some failure of digital democracy the documentary is in fact the…
i demand that netflix give me back the 70,000 data points they gained from me watching this documentary
“He is rather fun.” -Brittany Kaiser on Alexander Nix
Let me admit a couple of things. When Mark Zuckerberg was being questioned by Congress, I tuned in for like two minutes and it seemed boring and I moved on. Lots of members of Congress don't know anything about the Internet. The idea of them making laws about net neutrality (which is only related to the discussion technologically) is absurd. The Great Hack has some relevant footage of the Congress/Zuckerberg questioning and has former Cambridge Analytica superstar Brittany Kaiser pointing out how he lied. Her company used Facebook data probably illegally and she said that data mining should be classified as a weapon. If you think about it, that's pretty extreme.…
jesse eisenberg getting into all sorts of shit again smh diluting andrew garfield’s shares and now this
This movie is exactly why we're all fucked.
The issue isn't firms like Cambridge Analytica, who everyone knew was populated by scumbags well before this thing hit Netflix. It isn't the propagation of dumbass memes or Russian flashmobs. It's the fact that almost nobody is properly equipped to consume, and more importantly, disseminate information. Yes, I include you enlightened liberals in that statement. That's a big, big fucking problem when everyone has infinite information and an infinite audience sitting around in their pocket. Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim display zero understanding of any of that, presenting a puppet-show level comprehension of the issue.
Let's start with the fact that the filmmakers allow themselves to be conned by Brittany Kaiser into…
"We bombarded them with ads, until they saw the world the way we wanted them to."
The internet scares me, man. But I still keep using it.
The Great Hack is an intriguing Netflix documentary on how Cambridge Analytics illuminated the US 2016 election by stealing people's data in their social media accounts and used it to target ads on Facebook to sway voters using weaponized propaganda.
What I really liked about this docu is that it can literally make you paranoid. It's a perfect horror story of our social media culture. Our own online behaviour has been weaponized against us and has been used for political gain. It's a great eye-opener on how negatively powerful social media can be.
Data rights are also human rights.
Data rights are human rights.
part of me hates myself after watching this because even knowing that with the power of the internet and we're never going to really have democracy again, that still doesn't stop us from using the internet. because this is the place that connects everyone together but the scariest part about this doc is that tech companies have far more data about us than we even know in the first place. they used this information about ourselves for the likes of trump and brexit to even happen and god knows what will happen in the world of politics in the future, all thanks to the internet and social media. i'm freaking depressed after watching this but 100% worth watching to understand what's really going on with everything you do online!!
