- When Professor David Carroll asked for Cambridge Analytica to release the information they held about him, it led to a legal battle and his story being documented in the 'The Great Hack' documentary.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
After a four-year battle we were able to finally reveal his data to him as part of our #DeterringDemocracy investigation. Channel 4 News exclusively obtained a vast cache of data used by Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign on almost 200 million American voters, including David Carroll.

This is what journalism is about. Great job!
incredible. the public is getting caught up on years of misinformation. this is an amazing moment for social media history
not thr first time
I personally think that on this issue of my data being used against me is the most important story of this decade, because it’s shaping everyone’s opinion about every other issue without them knowing. Please keep up the good work Channel 4, in a world of the bullshit phrase “Fake news” your reporting on this issue reminds me of what real investigating journalism is.
watch the movie the great hack
I watched The Great Hack, I know how important this was to him, I feel emotional seeing him get his data back.
Great work Krishnan and the team! The reckoning we need to go through with regards to big data and it's hidden uses must now gather pace.
U guys have been doing a great jornalistic job, congratulations!
Superb journalism c4. Congratulations
This is so disturbing...with Brexit happening, I wonder what will happen to UK data protection laws 😳
It's part of the reason no deal is the preferred option, as a level playing field on data is not helpful to those in governmental advisory positions need our data. There's even the thought of downgrading human rights to abuse our data too.
Laws or no laws, "they" have your data. All of it. You have been profiled and targeted for advertisements and propaganda. Facts.
Reminder:- Cambridge Analytica, fraud + overspending by the Leave campaign was the reason that Brexit is happening in the first place, tragically.
Results were: Remain 48% Leave 52% - ridiculously close on such an important issue where the result of the Brexit Referendum was NOT legally binding, it was an Advisory referendum.
You just cldn't make it up! Switzerland, an über democratic country that often uses Referenda wld've declared the UK Brexit referendum in June 2016, null + void. Because of Cambridge Analytica's success, Steve Bannon + Robert Mercer went on to use C.A. during 2016 elections in November; well, what a coincidence, they just about got the result they wanted. It beggars belief that the UK + US institutions are so punctured + compromised that they allow bigots, liars and Disaster Capitalists to run + ruin their countries on the back of a fraudulent Referendum + national election. The Oligarchs are taking over the world. Either they're stopped or the damage will be irreversible. We have all been warned. The problem is that Brexit has become like a cult + so has trump. It's as if people have been brainwashed + unable to think for themselves when shown the evidence. The fact that our own institutions are dysfunctional does not help. When judges in charge of a country's supreme court are known not to be impartial + favoured by the PM or President then you know our Democracy is in serious trouble.
Thank you Channel 4 for your amazing documentary where you showed Cambridge Analytica's criminality. Thanks to David Caroll + all those involved in making the Great Hack. Thank you a million times. History will not be kind to the lying Brextremists or the lying president. P.s. think of PM Johnson as a 'mini Trump'. Both are dangerous sociopaths + surround themselves with like minded people.
The Truth Will Out.
We will never forget what they + their henchmen have done.
Does anybody actually think Steve Bannon and those that profited off of Cambridge Analytica just abandoned the agenda and the technology and the tactics when the company went under? Did their motivations change or disappear? Who actually even went to jail over it?
They got away with it. They are still getting away with it. How?
One of the real reasons for brexit is to make a bonfire of all our hard on rights
GOOSEBUMPS! .. 🧡 C4News
Do we really have rights if corporations control us? I’m not okay with this
Watch "The Corporation." A corporation has the same legal rights as an individual. This is wrong. The City of London Square Mile financial district is a State within a State. It's City Corporation has private corporation employees NOT resident in the area (few people live there) on the voters roll. It is a bankers' State and it runs the UK. The City of London has its own full-time lobbyist keeping an eye on Government who sits within the UK Parliament Commons Chamber, called The City Remembrancer.
Scary
Great investigation by C4
i wish we could see this in relation to UK voters too
Epic to see this meeting, Krishnan & Prof Carroll, thanks for sharing C4. Watched 'The Great Hack' last night. It's the high tech big data version of old school tactics revealed in Century of the Self by Adam Curtis. Fascinating. Prof Carroll, add brave & persistent to your spreadsheet!
Scary how much they have on us. Great work channel 4
This is phenomenal work
Incredible. Amazing work Ch4 - as always 🙂
Thank you David Carroll. We learn.
THE GREAT HACK . REAL JOURNALISM .
Expect it follow the narrative
3:57 " going back to court face ".
Is there somewhere where we can search ourselves?
no, mostly due to the risk that other could claim others data and that firms payed millions for all that data so giving it away for free i doubt they would want / do
You can download your Facebook data. Do a Google search, and you’ll find it pretty easily
Download your Facebook and Google data and you can build this out pretty much the same
It's perspective for how the world can see you. That way you can see the contrast of knowing yourself, and how systems interpret that.
You already know how you see yourself, that's the point you've been making, and it's as easy as you say it is. How others see you, be it people or systems, is much harder. Even though I broadcast a lot on FB and know it, I don't know how that received and rated politically. How the system itself quantifies me, and I can learn from that.
So when are we getting the brexit files?
Astonishing!
Great work ch4
I want to see my file too!
Crazy. What good journalism
Amazing
Unfortunately this is not a political problem. This is an everywhere problem. If companies want information on you it's out there.
WELL YOU GAVE IT AWAY ! You have a google XD. These services aren't free.
@@An-Orange-Fox but I think that's the point. I never gave it away. If I tell a few people something it does not mean a company can take what I said and sell it. At least it shouldn't. I'm not a public figure.
I didn't get a Facebook account until I had to so that I could stay on touch with family. I hate this "Big Brother" crud.
@@sandicmxr You're correct. Also, it isn't limited to Facebook and Cambridge Analytica! IBM Watson offers a similar psychographics service based on public Twitter content see here personality-insights-demo.ng.bluemix.net/
@@sandicmxr "I never gave it away." when you sign up to a social media platform or any type of service, the terms and conditions being signed up to often involve data retention and distribution clauses in order for access to be granted to that companies service. This forms part of a binding contract between you and the service provider. So, as is the case here on TH-cam, yes you have agreed to pass your data on in exchange for free use of TH-cam.
@@PaulAlexander-tokyomagic i understand which is why I didn't get on fb or use sm platforms for years. Its only been in the last 6 years or so that I became active. But my info was out there long before that. So no I never signed up to allow my info to be used before it started being used. I didn't even have a computer. It was only when I got a smartphone that I signed up.
One of the first things I did when I got a smartphone was Google my name and everyone's name. My address was there for everyone to see.
Wow, I'd be interested to know more about the files available and how they were retrieved? How is it this news outlet was able to obtain millions of files? Is it possible for an individual to have access to their personal file? I do not support psychological warfare, very disturbing. So many friends have been influenced or brainwashed via social media through media manipulation. Continuing to shed light on the data rights is such an important issue, The Great Hack was a mind-blowingly good film btw!
Agree and channel 4 shud use this proof to make case against current and future data theft/privacy cases..
This story needs resurrecting, it needs attention and it needs to be talked about again. A lot of people I talk to don't know anything about it and any of the videos on this topic seem to have comparatively low views.
Congrats professor Carroll!
I feel so watched now, everything thing I do online.
What other uses is this kind of data being put to?
Hi! I teach a college computer applications course where The Great Hack is highlighted, and I would like to include this video in my course materials for my students to view. I would DEEPLY APPRECIATE it if captions were provided for this video so I could do so. (Auto-captioning is not accurate enough to meet accessibility law, and state law prohibits use of inaccessible materials in curriculum.) In any case, thank you for providing this video.
John Robertson check out the complete transcript that is available with this TH-cam video if you click on the information available.
@@ritagreen6499 Thanks, Rita! It's a great resource but I need to follow CA state law on properly accessible classroom materials.
Wowww
Is it kinda odd that a channel 4 news company got his file before he did!??!?! Can anybody break that down for me?
Well, I guess the next question is in which other countries it has been done and is being done.
Walber Macedo Where do you live? Yup, that place too.
Probably just about anywhere there's a right wing government.
Hi Neil I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
David seemed emotional
He is an amazing man
How do the rest of us get this and how can we keep it secure from anyone else?
If you still using social media , you can't .
I wonder if such data use for brexit campaign? This is horrible
yes it was
Rswa Vroo Gein the whole point is that it was.
It was originally made for brexit then the trump campaign later was interested
The cry of 'Give me television and hamburgers, but don't bother me with the responsibilities of liberty,' may give place, under altered circumstances to the cry of Give me liberty or give me death
Aldous huxley
So, how did they get his data?
Probably a technicality: the campaign might not have had that data, the company they hired had the data. The Campaign contracted a service - targetting voters to sway their decisions. Even more - they might have requested NOT to have access to the data itself, to avoid accusations.
I'm writing this not to defend either. But to make sure we are targeting the correct issue. It's quite certain that there are other players, companies, countries, continuing the same work as CA did. But they stay stealthy, avoiding such stupid bean spilling as CA did. If they are more on the legit side, they would scrub obviously identifying information - names at least.
And that would be an interesting topic to investigate further.
Bears mentioning that after the CA/FB scandal broke, Robert Mercer just created Parler.
Who’s Robert Mercer? He was Cambridge Analytica’s main investor. His good buddy, Steve Bannon was VP.
Nuts
I wish he say at the end "See I'm not just the guy that pissed off Robert Downey JR" basically destroyed democracy right there.
Journalism at its best
We as societies need to value journalism again, modern democracies rely on freedom of the press and their ability to do their jobs by getting paid for it. Hopefully then they will be able to stop with the click bait and TMZ style rubbish..
Hi Mark I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

They are still actively doing this to me.
US and UK are very advanced in online intelligence / spying.
FDT!
Correction.
People low consciousness and high neuroticism are easily manipulated.
Thank you. I was truly puzzled by that statement.
Mindf*ck
oi channel 4 why you blurring out your guys glasses what u hiding ??
You are such an amazing man and news helping this man
Did David opt out?
Very good piece but disappointed at lack of masks as they are clearly less than 2m apart for a lot of the interview. Seeing more folks on tv wearing masks would help in it becoming more normalised & encourage the public to wear them more.
Why don't you investigate integrity initiative
The Great Hack has some great content but jeez this guy was absurdly boring.
How did they get it from Trump campaign? They didn’t explain it. Does the other party use it as well?

Oh no. They were trying to influence the voter! The voter! The voter of all things.
Gee whizz whatever else next? Door to door campaigning? My goodness me
Ted Fash I don’t think you understand the issue.
@@mattgreek1066 honest question how long have you known about these sorts of things and do you own a smart watch
Ted Fash no. I do not.
@@mattgreek1066 you seemed like the type do you use socail media?
Ted Fash I seemed like the type to do what, sorry? Use a smart watch? How would you possibly discern that from one line on TH-cam? And no, I don’t use social media. Apart from TH-cam, if that counts? What’s your line of questioning about here my friend? Genuinely curious.
It is imperative that we teach all children that religions are led by all the many wayward blind guides and false prophets (including the Pope and those of Christianity) of whom Immanuel (aka Jesus) had already warned us to beware of, almost 2,000 years ago. Just as only a true prophet of the Lord our God can do; forewarn us of what is yet to come…
When Moses said to the Israelites; “The Lord your God will raise up a prophet among you like myself, and you shall listen to him.” - (at Deuteronomy 18: 15) -
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God is with us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) -
“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (The Prophet Immanuel, also called Jesus, the Messiah, at John 4: 24) -
“In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (at John 5: 24) -
“Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (at Matthew 7: 15-16) -
“Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) -
“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) -
“I am the light of the world. No follower of mine shall wander in the dark; he shall have the light of life.” - (Jesus, at John 8: 12) -
“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…”
- (Matthew 24: 4) -
“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) -
“You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (John 8: 32) -
“When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.
In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard.
Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him.
This is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven,
Give us each day our daily bread,
Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us.
And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) -
“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) -
“Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) -
“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 9-14) -
“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage.
The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) -
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) -
“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” - (John 11: 25-26) -
“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) -
“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) -
“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) -
“The disciples came and asked Jesus, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) -
“Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) -
“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself.
Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) -
“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) -
“One of the criminals who hung there also mocked and taunted him: ‘Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself, and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God? You are under the same sentence as he. For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.’ And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered, “I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” - (Luke 23: 39-43) -
“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” - (Matthew 28: 20) -
Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, Wednesday the 30th of September, 2020: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you.

@@Jimmy4video you watched that almost 4 hour episode in the last 10 minutes. Okay. Good for you. Obama was the first to use 'these same' analytics to market a presidential campaign. Fact.
@@aaronfagerstrom34 analytics is a very general term, presidential candidates have been surveying voters for decades and using one form or another. There are a few new factors in Trump's campaign, detailed psychological profiles, dark adds paid for by dark money, attempts to lower voter turn out by targeted ads. You know people have seen stuff you've seen too right, I'm not going to rewatch something because you make false claims about it.
Obama campaign was the first to exploit this data and media praised them. Trump team perfected it and media is outraged.
