Cambridge Analytica's Kogan Says The Facebook Data Is Still Out There: “someone did not delete it”

- The Cambridge University researcher at the center of the Facebook data scandal has appeared before a British parliamentary committee investigating fake news.
Aleksandr Kogan was working for Cambridge University when he designed a personality testing app which gathered the data of tens of millions of Facebook users.
That data was passed on to political consultancy Cambridge Analytica without user consent, and is alleged to have been used to try and influence voters in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Kogan told VICE News that he believes a copy of that data is still available, even though Kogan and Cambridge Analytica assured Facebook it had deleted the data. Kogan has said he deleted the data.
"I mean I lost my career for sure," Kogan told VICE News. "Like It’ll be very difficult for me to ever be an academic anywhere."
Since being branded a liar by Facebook for his role in the affair, Kogan has been on a road to try and clear his name.
VICE News joined Kogan before - and after - his visit to Britain's parliament.

WHAT
A
DOUCHE
VICE News thanks for sharing this. It gives alot more insight. Keep up the good and awesome journalism. have you done a documentary on Trump yet?
That's exactly what a bad guy would say
B O N E L E S S B U U C H I ikr he can't even admit he was wrong, blaming Facebook for making him a scapegoat when they 're the company that harvested the data
The interview is too general.... There are tons of unanswered questions, e.g: why kogan didn't delete all the data when fb demanded them to do so in back then? And what's the industry practices for developers is the norm?
Worst interview ever. U wasted time asking meaningless questions.
When a guy says "I'm not a bad guy.", he most likely is a bad guy.
Slimy
This guy looks suspect.
Poor guy. He has to live with consequences for his actions.
HE does NOT come across well! At all!
his body language even at the first glance says it otherwise...
So he sold 87 mln questionnaire data files to at least 2 third parties besides Cambridge Analytica and he is saying "In fact, I lost money" lol
Howdy! Long time viewer first time commenter. Would you please start offering your content in 4K video resolution? It makes for a much better experience. 2018 is the year of 4K. Embrace the future yo! You offer some of highest quality videos on TH-cam. Offering your content in 4K would compliment that!
So you bought 4k? Haha, what a waste of money... :D Get something with a decent refresh rate dude. :D
What I dont really get: analytica didnt do anything illegal. They used data, that was online and publicly available. The real problem is, that there are no ways to deny them to do so.
is the audio on this interview pitched down? this reminds me of when starlord meet thor
The devil has no remorse.
this guy is a manipulative sociopath
Because we should trust a company which specializes in manipulation... Right.
It's never good to come this early...
Just ask my 12 exes...
Who is this new vice correspondent? I've never seen him save for a few times in the past
snake oil salesman
the guy asked NO hard questions. he didnt lay on him at all
No explanation whatsoever about what he had done and what facebook's policies he broke.
I'm waiting for this interviewers mom to come in at any moment and yell at him that it's time to go and he has to wrap up his "interview project"
He is basically sayn "I robbed the bank, Just to show you that people. Its not safe in this world."
Would have been nicer had you asked what exactly he did and if others are doing too? E.g. whatever he did, is it like dui or is it like driving 60mph on a 55mph highway?
"I didn't break the TOS, because others did too" is not a valid excuse Aleksandr. This is a failure to self regulate on behalf of the developers, while Facebook have been asleep at the wheel and not providing the necessary oversight of how personal information in their care is being accessed and used.
This man is in need of a boot party
No bad guy will admit that they are "bad".
Hey VICE, do you homework, Mr Kogan changed his name to SPECTRE Dr Alexandr SPECTRE. Look it up on the Cambridge site.
for not a such rich guy he's wearing a nice suit for vice.............
regrets getting caught poor guy !
3:45 Why is he smiling when he is saying this?
Birk Undae because its all bullshit. He knows he can get a job quick selling all that sweet sweet information he refuses to delete.....
Why are people complaining again
Cool story bro
when obama did this in 2012 the left/msm was saying this is a step forward, but when trump did it in 2016 and won with alittle bit help with it its the end of the world.
First, Kogan has an appointment in St-Petersburg University - interestingly, the same very city where all Putin's mafia was originated, and the same very city where Russia keeps main work force of young "online writers" fabricating false ID-s in facebook and other platforms to play their political games... Isn't it a nice coincidence of Kogan's affiliation...? So, of course he is a "professor of semantics", so well-trained to play with words in a right way. But second, the Big Five personality test is forced by its authors onto thousands of users on the Facebook or many dating sites without warning that the data will be used for publications or other use. Then these academicians promote their careers by publishing juicy reports from their "massive studies" even though the consent of participants was not received, and the test itself if rather pathetic. Hey, psychologists - don't you have to have a consent for your studies, why your professional associations are staying silent in this scandal? Perhaps, because authors of the Big Five are having top management positions in your organizations? This means that after all this noise nothing will change, and Big Five psychologists will continue publishing the data obtained by Cambridge with subsequence promotion. And the Putin-Cambridge links will only be reinforced.
his tie wasnt long enough
Why do people like to sit around and pretend that whatever we "Delete" off the internet. Actually gets deleted?
Because people are idiots... You know how dumb average person is? And half of them is even dumber...
This guy's face says it all. He knows he's in the wrong.
StPiterburg troll factories cofounder
Vice I mean HBO is a joke
Everyone involved in this data collection are the bad guys, no exceptions. The people on the one dumbasses friends and family list didn't give permission for their data to be collected...they didn't fill out the survey. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it any better. It's like that saying "If your friend jumped off a bridge would you? "
I bet every night he listens to "toxicity" by system of a down and he is really feeling it
So let me get this straight, a PhD from Cambridge squire data then sold it to to a data analytics firm and now is feigning ignorance and playing the victim. Should really reasonably believe that a researcher in psychology was completely unaware of the importance of valuing patient data and the unethical ramifications of selling data to said firm.
Nice PR campaign mate they should throw the book at you.
Not a Snowden.
We'd know that if we stole his information and digitally followed him.
It’s just damage control, he’s using vice
His argument is so childish "well others are doing it too" yeah and? Lot of people steal, lost of people murder, so by that logic I should be allowed to do it too? Wut? Smh
Is this a joke?
BS. And he will be fine im sure. There is a need for people like that in the industry :)
The guy comes across as insincere because he obviously doesn't think he did anything wrong. I think its abit of a trend that alot of people shaping society through new technology are very amoral
You got to love the boo hoo story about losses and how he didn't get as much money as oil barrons so he shouldn't have to answer the question. This is just a way to shift blame and make it an ethical mistake on behalf of honest optimistic acedemics who put profit before all scientific and academic considerations.
I don't think people should take their eye off the ball and let this blame game and attempt to rationalize and justify the behavior using psychology distract from the issues. This is just a clever misdirection play using the same data they used to engineer society in the first place.
If we are busy arguing the twofold strategy of blaming ethical conundrums and buying into rationalized justifications of sociopaths masquerading as academics, we miss the point of the real whistle-blowers intention in the first place. They sweep it back under the rug, rename it something else, and the same people who really do the work keep doing the work, while actors mask their real identies and keep them anonymous behind the scenes. The game is rigged and whistle-blowers are rarely ever placed in the spotlight if ever. It is all smoke and mirrors to keep us ignorant. It is destroying us from within.
He is of course bad person
Mark Zuckerbergs twin?
educated michael rapaport
You're all bad guys
“Hey fb, if you didn’t want your data stolen you should have covered yourself up with more security. I mean, come on you were asking for it, if anything it’s your fault I mined you.”
Lol good luck with that. Maybe something you should of thought of before all the shady shit you and your company along with Facebook just pulled.
i do not feel sorry at all for this white man
honestly... same girl
!
He seems to at ease in front of the camera and shows no true regret. Very similar to Christopher Wylie and both out for themselves. Tries to appear intelligent too by using big words, but inappropriately : “...he’s conflating the two...” when he should have just used the word “confusing” at 2:53 .
1st
so we’re feeling sorry for this white guy now? lol
What’s being white have to do with any of this?
Pick your battles dumbfuck.
