[Via Dave Farber]
Channel 4 in the UK has released an amazing 20 minute video that is the best explanation I've seen of how Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data to micro-target voters to influence the 2016 US election and the Brexit vote: https://www.youtube.com/embed/KIf5ELaOjOk
There's also another most interesting video from the same project that digs into one guy's Facebook/Cambridge Analytica file" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Swqc2NjEXM
This second video shows one particular guy's file, which contains his psychographic profile, including openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism scores by percentile.
It "knows" what kind of car the individual has, that he's a gamer, what his investments are, what his diet is, whether he uses coupons, if he writes a blog, how he uses The Internet and social media, whether he has a home office and what charities he gives to. And a bunch of other things.
From these aggregated data, it's easy to imagine how CA could determine things like who he'd vote for and the strength of his commitment to the voting process, and target manipulative ads and messages from "friends" accordingly.
In my humble opinion, both videos are must-watch for all who consider themselves to be technology literate.

-- Dott. Diego Latella - Senior Researcher CNR-ISTI, Via Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy (http:www.isti.cnr.it) FM&&T Lab. (http://fmt.isti.cnr.it) http://www.isti.cnr.it/People/D.Latella - ph: +390506212982, mob: +39 348 8283101, fax: +390506212040 =================== The quest for a war-free world has a basic purpose: survival. But if in the process we learn how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task. Above all, remember your humanity. -- Sir Joseph Rotblat _______________________________________________ nexa mailing list nexa@server-nexa.polito.it https://server-nexa.polito.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nexa
