Hats off to Channel 4, and to Guardian/Observer team who put this all together in the first place. Thanks for showing we still have amazing journalists in the UK despite best efforts of Murdoch, Dacre & co.
Well said !
Frankly Guardian seems to be one of the few Oldschool media outlets who understands modern Digital Warfare.
There’s something wrong with a man who keeps a wholesale jar of liquorice allsorts on his desk
Kris Rivard you forgot the parts about using private data without consent for that targeting or their subsequent statements about using separate entities to avoid campaign financing & declaration rules, to allow poison to spread separate from 'official campaigning' and the use of 'self destruct' communications to avoid leaving any evidence. All of this things are actual or potential offences. Suggest you watch the two Channel 4 videos before you comment further.
Absolutly. Pretty amazing stuff.
How was the interviewer not grinning like the Cheshire Cat, while that guy was talking about video evidence being great.
Maybe he was, and the guy from Campridge analytics just thought that he smiled because he liked the clever and devious way that he thinks.
Honestly, for not straight-up cracking up and yelling "you guys are fucking morons", that guy has already deserved an Oscar nomination.
"Hey, dude, why are you laughing into your hand?"
"Oh, nothing. I just remembered something funny."
It's that British Stiff Upper Lip
sparkyenergia Probably because he was surrounded by pure evil. This is actually what Hitler said the warfare of the future would be. Psychological warfare. Propaganda. Trump supporters won't care. They will twist it into some kind of HRC/Obama conspiracy. Last week someone told me she'd seen something online about Hillary Clinton murdering 81 people. People actually BELIEVE she's running a child trafficking ring with pedophiles from the basement of a pizza parlor. Videos made are composites of more than one pizza parlor. A guy who believed children were being held in the basement went and shot up a pizzeria. There was no basement and no children. Trump Jr retweeted pizzagate. His wife is divorcing him over his use of Twitter. Probably the ideology behind it. Trump displays the characteristics of a dictator. These people have evil intent. I couldn't smile around them. It makes me angry. But that's what social media wants. You are likely to stay on longer, liking and sharing things, making it more profitable. From a marketing perspective. Advertisement. We opened Pandora's box. 2016 was a giant success for these people who use nefarious activities and we have a #CorruptGOP propping up a man who clearly is unfit to serve.
The founder looks like what old people think a millennial looks like
I wonder how you knew what old people think...?
Lawrence D’Oliveiro What a stupid question. 🤔
Lawrence D’Oliveiro Right? I mean it's not like most of the people on various types of news media are grey haired or anything. Not like they don't get interviewed every other day. I mean Baby Boomers are basically as quite as church mice.
Dumb-ass.
He is not the founder, don't know where Colbert got that from. He was a contractor.
Kind of the Point. Quite sure he is Playing to that Stereotype to his advantage. Because look at his Foolish Clients.
It is official...the watchdogs of America are the comedy hosts!
Imagine the medieval era and appropriating every one of your political opinions from court jesters, village idiots and traveling troubadours
Them and investigative journalism by news sources outside of the USA.
Dulton Cashmere
Satire has been political since its inception. There's a reason authoritarian leaders are so sensitive to it.
Nick Gearin
As a former democrat i watched first hand, my candidate get systematically destroyed by this corrupt version of the democratic party.
A group of democrats hired a lawyer and sued the DNC for election fraud.
The reply from the DNC was this:
The DNC holds the exclusive right to select any candidate we want, without concern for any other candidate, delegate or the voters they represent.
I watched Hillary make a legal mockery of the congressional and oversight meetings.
I know members of the press are colluded towards the party and hollywood is a charm in their pocket.
I desire truth and freedom over blind party support.
Please take this media for what is, and do your own research.
Watch the congressional and oversight meetings, Listen to both MSM and alternative networks.
There are networks setup to allow open unfiltered reporting.
This isn't about Trump as much as it is remorse over the sellout of the democratic party.
if you believe that you should do more research into the story and realize how little you were told
this is as one-sided as one can get. watch philip defranco and ben shapiro talk about cambridge analytica and see for yourself. there was also a good video about it from the BBC or MSNBC that aired last july
Well done reporters getting this story out.
Jaina Maden
Now, if he would speak some honesty of what the democratic party has become.
Here is a taste:
Official declassified government documents illustraing how the democrats applied to the Fisa court to surveille Trump.
Fisa court approached to acquire permission to surveille trump on concerns of Russian involvement - Turned down because dossier purchased to supply dirt against trump wasn't proven.
- Democrats once again approach Fisa court and are told proof inadequate. Court however negates need of proof for a period of three months.
Democrats not only survey Trump, they are allowed to surveille everyone, including your phone, emails, bank accounts...
-Democrats return after 3 months pleading they still dont have proof.
Courts give them another 3 months to survey everyone until March of 2018.
- Democrats still have no proof?
You tell me how a court allows evidence, not supported or proven, towards allowing a political party to spy on everyone.
Because the courts were appointed from the past administration.
Perhaps this should be reported by any mainstream media outlet, but we know it won't be.
Trump was ridiculed for suggesting he was being surveyed.
Consider how many of his other claims are also legit, when everyone was so sure.
14 months of accusations - nothing... NaDa
-
Lawrence Smith boy that sure was a lengthy straw man argument to deflect from taking any responsibility at all for wrongdoing on behalf of your party’s alignment. Are you a lawyer over in Russia or did you just have that long list of “but but the democracy’s did uh uhhh but what about uh” ready to copy and paste on hand?
Yeah, sure Lawrence, okay.
No wrong doing...Obama perfected this and was hailed as the smartest guy in the world
@lawrenzosmith nothing NaDa? how many people have been subpoenaed? oh for frame of reference too.... how long did the watergate investigation take?
I thought Cambridge Analytica was a font.
A Font of Data... hehehe...
Albe Van Hanoy lol
Lol did you confuse it with Cambria? ;)
I thought it was a set of encyclopedias
Good one!
Finally, I get to say I told you so to everyone who thought I was dumb or lame for refusing to sign up for Facebook.
my friend, same exact thing happens for all social media, youtube for example, Instagram, and so forth. Every single one, and by the way, all of our pc are hacked and collected data as well. sadly so.
Thanks to the Guardian’s hard work 👏
"As long as no one in our government is interested in eastern european women... Oh my God !" 😂 😂
indeed
Definitely a Homer Simpson moment: 'Dope!' Lol.
HOW DID HE KNOW THAT MY COUSIN HAD A BABY AND THAT SHE NAMED HIM MILO?!?!?!?.. THAT'S CREEPY!!!!
My condolences to your cousin's son. Fortunately there's many dog toys out there with the name Milo all ready painted on, so you'll have plenty of birthday presents to choose from at the store.
Hahaha yeah, we tried to talk her out of naming him Milo, but oh well... The worst is that there is a popular Nestle product in South Africa (where I'm from) that is also called Milo. So it is not only a dog name, it is also the name of a hot chocolate type beverage. I'm pretty sure that it is an Australian product though. What are the odds though that my cousin has a baby literally a few days ago, names him Molo, one of the weirdest names, and then I happen to watch this video, even though I'm from South Africa, and the first thing Stephen says is that!!
Juan-miguel De Freitas Gotta love those crazy coincidences I suppose.
Stephen Colbert is my spirit animal.
Jon Stewart's crew are doing the USA a great service. Colbert, Noah, Oliver, Bee and others. Keep it up guys, we need you all in these dark times.
SNL included.
no, I said it was Stephen Colbert, not a cat. that would be a weird spirit animal, not just a cat but a neutered one, weird.
He must make for a great daimon i'm sure!
Interesting thing is the head of Cambridge Analytica, Alexander Nicks, is a deeply private person who fiercely protects his own privacy while running an organisation that does the exact opposite to ordinary people.
NO Alexander Nix is kind of famous in the industry. He even did a talk Web Summit 2017 in Lisbon.
Neojhun
Talking on stage and promoting yourself and your buisiness does not mean he's open about his own personel life or comfortable having others look into it or ask questions. Here's his own words when being interview by a Canberra Times reporter:
"I’m quite a private person. I don’t think it’s necessarily in my best interests to share my life with other people. I’m sorry about that. But I’m just feeling uncomfortable about this. I don’t think that I want to be the story.”
That from a man who's entire business strategy is based on doing just that to others, (covertly without their consent).
Oh how cute, soo naive. The topic here is Digital Big Data. He showed his Face in Public & Talked. That was more than enough data for people in the industry to find out about his background. But Nix made the choice & risk assessment before going public. You clearly are out of your depth.

Is that all you've got!!!
Seriously you can reply but your getting boring now :)
WOW I linked to the Neural Network technology & You still can't see the Consequences.

Cambridge Analytica Vs. Oxford Think em' ups
Kudos for Channel 4. Where was the lazy, asleep at the wheel BBC...
Missed another opportunity. Anyway, congrats to the C4 team involved.
Siri Erieott I was just gonna say, Go Channel 4!
The original research was handed out by The Guardian. You can go thank them with some of your money.
If the BBC did it every reptard would be moaning BBC left wing bias again
eloj - Already do, thanks.
Ian.M - If it’s honest, report it whatever, and stand behind the truth of it.
Best way to catch them, at their own game!
sounds like a class action suit to me
Too bad the republicans in Congress effectively outlawed that.
SUAVEBOS26 It was totally legal, facebook owns your private data, too bad we don't go through their 'terms and conditions'.
Obama did it too........
SUAVEBOS26
Class action suit? Obviously you, neither the ones that liked your comment read through the T&C or Privacy Policy.
Isn’t that weird that we got real news from comedians instead from real news media such as Fox News?
Nurada Goknauli Marpaung I am sorry, but me thinks, you misspelled Faux News 😉
this isnt hard hitting stuff relax
I don't get my news from comedians at all. I get jokes about the news from comedians. Stop buying into that stupid alt-right accusation.
Might as well get news from the side of a cereal box.
Nurada Goknauli Marpaung No your wrong,the real news comes from CNN
Hearing that Cambridge analytica guy talk in the boardroom sent a chill up my spine, that was like watching a real life villain.
Uriah Gillespie
I could smell the Bannon on him just watching the video
Geckos are reptiles dammit!
Jonathon Moran 🦎🦎
Dak Lamerbusch
Nope, they're reptiles.
Jonathon Moran caught that too!!!
Beginning to dislike Facebook
Johnnie E. You really should. Only use messenger now for contacting people
You can't. They still don't have a dislike button.
I despise Facebook. Always have. It's always been manipulative, but this is criminal.
Beginning to?
I guess, & mark be acting cool rolling with criminals.
Stephen is brilliant.
Me: There's cameras here, isn't there? I'm being recorded, I know it!
The Devil: Stop being being paranoid, it's freaking me out.
Everywhere you drive: camera records licence plate. Everywhere you go: your cell phone constantly pings cell towers and GPS. Most cities and towns have cameras with Facial Recognition software. Sieg Hile Homeland Security! How's that freedom working out for ya?
TheReal008Zulu xtovj
Brilliant and informative, kudos!
It continues to amaze me that people still don't get that targeted messaging do have effect - and you have to be constantly aware of the impulse factors used or you will automatically be manipulated!
Even when you are aware, you still risk falling for it...
And it works even better in regards to politics than it does in general advertising for products!
It's much harder getting people emotionally invested in a specific brand of water than it is manipulating them to support a certain political candidate - especially if you can use fear and a tendency to certain biases as a impulse factor!
Your show is awesome
Thanks
CHANNEL 4 JUST ANNOUNCED THEYRE AIRING ANOTHER UNDERCOVER FILM TOMORROW ABOUT HOW CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA WON THE ELECTION FOR TRUMP. sorry for screaming. I just want your attention. Spread the word.
You sound like a shitty person.
BK10 fuck yeah crowder rocks
You're*
Good ol' Stevie Colbert
Wow the tin foil hats went and straight up created their worst fears.
MrHan lol right
MrHan Well, I don't own any lead lined lids, but I knew years ago when it started asking all those intrusive poll questions something was badly wrong. *NOBODY* just collects data, there's always another motive they keep secret because people would just freak out (like now). 🤔😎
how on earth did the "tin foil hats" as you call them *create* this?
Make ADblocker an constitutional right ;D
That literally has nothing to do with this. Go educate yourself.
This is about using predictive & descriptive statistical analysis to craft online trolls to fuck with people
This is tremendously unsettling news for all the mopes who never understood this was always the point of Facebook.
Also, if something in your feed influences your vote, your vote wasn't worth much in the first place.
Yeah, I've been wondering since I saw this yesterday whether Facebook was actually created specifically to do this kind of shit. If so, it worked.
thought Facebook was about sharing food you eat and selfies, who know it is a way to manipulate stupid people
It's not as simple as seeing one thing on your feed and it influencing your vote. People get trapped in complex webs of fake news that all reinforce the other. With enough confirmation it slowly becomes their reality. Also, it doesn't matter how dumb a person is, their vote is worth just as much as anybody else's. That is precisely where the problem lies.
Wilbur Jenkins we need a research on motivation to vote based on IQ. it's hard to believe dumb people are as motivated to go vote as more educated people.
the idea is that a whole lot of stuff on your facebook page leaves an effect, in short- all the poeples votes who use facebook for more then just pure communication, and researching on their firends or friend's friends. votes aren't worth much
Oh yeah, advertising does absolutely nothing. That's why companies sprung an average of $5 million for a half-minute commercial during Super Bowl LII.
So glad I don't have both Facebook and twitter accounts!
Paul Ramos do you have Instagram and whatsapp? both are also own by facebook.
Social media has corrupted me, I was somehow obsessed with them because I was trying to be somebody . But it just made me feel even more insecure and lonely.
Having deleted twitter instagram and Snapchat I only have Facebook left just for one more week then that’s going too!
TH-cam is just as bad too, unhealthy addiction of wanting to make videos and try make new friends online but it’s just doesn’t work.
I love technology but it has changed how people behave and live their lives,
Can’t be changed now so maybe I’ll just forever be alone lol.
I’m too far gone and cannot trust anybody . 🤷🏽♂️
Stay on it Stephen, your nailing it!!! Thank you!
Thank you Mr. Colbert!
This is a few step away from Project Insight in Captain America: Winter Soldier...
The reason why Brits are always villains in every damn movie. 😂
Thank God for Stephen with humor and guts he allows us to see some truth that needs to be seen while making bearable...
Nailed it. We've been following the news on those data thugs since before the US election and are very happy to watch them finally get their due.
The only thing missing from the discussion with the owner of Cambridge Analytica, is a white cat in his lap as he strokes it.
Robert Melvin We are two tweets from a leader with frickin sharks with frickin laser beams, so yeah.
So 50 million Facebook users can sue Facebook and Cambridge Analytica for misuse of their info ???
Keep up the great work Stephen!
"Data-driven behavior change."
LITERALLY the best comment of ALL on this situation!!
I'd be too nervous to talk to Satan too..
Haha hilarious !
Thank you so for your truth.
I'm impressed the camera guy didn't burst out laughing at the situational irony while recording that CEO talk.
Trump and his White House saga until now is more sinister than 5 seasons of House of Cards put together, except maybe the episode in which Frank shoved Zoe in front of an oncoming train. That's because Trump has small hands and smaller balls, he can't pull that off!!!
Shravan Satyanarayan It isn't Trump! He is an outsider, this has been going on since the assasination of JFK!
Yeah but I don't think that's because of him being an outsider. He's just predictably unpredictable and as temperamental as a bipolar five year old kid having mood swings. Shoots his mouth off all the time without making any sense whatsoever. He's like an elephant in musth on a rampage leaving behind a pile of shit in addition to the wreckage it's caused.
And I am pretty sure if ever his reputation's on the line, he wouldn't hesitate to do an 'Underwood'. It's just self preservation, doesn't matter if one's an outsider or not.
Shravan Satyanarayan re-elected 2020
But geckos are reptiles...
That punk rock Cabbage Patch Kid part got me. 😂😂😂
Oh! he did that last part well! Too good!
Zuckerturd and Cambridge Analytica management should be going to prison. jmo
Little problem Majority of CA has no residents of US. Heck Dr. Alexandr Kogan is Moldovan born, raised in Moscow.
And this is why I stay off Facebook... 'cause I'm all those things all on my own.
New Message word
1:15
"I don't know if my soul would be worth anything, you can just have it"
Relatable af
That quote about corruption on camera- beautiful, glorious karma. It doesn't get better than this!
his presidency can't be any more illegitimate
Im kinda weirded out that this just came out recently. There were articles about Cambridge Analytica at the time of Trumps election, and now people suddenly care? This whole story was already old news to me by the time the media brought it up a few days ago.
These people who are convinced that it's breaking news... they are going to tell you in a minute that people are not so easily manipulated.
Sure... good sheep, good.
Not that I'm much better, but at least I know I'm not well informed, and I've heard of Cambridge Analytica 2 years ago.
And I read about it instead of dismissing it based solely on some emotions.
Yeah, and besides Hillary.
The issue was that, back then, CA downplayed the role they had in these elections (US & UK) when questioned by the UK Parliament, and made it seem like they had done nothing wrong. There was little evidence against them, mainly just claims based on speculation. The reason it has come up again now, is because with the whistleblower and the Channel 4 exposé, there's a bit more to work with to put forward an investigation into wtf is really going on with them, and the ethics/legality of their practices.
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

"I often summon Satan, but I'm too shy to talk to him"
Hhahahahh
Awesome episode!
The fact that this isn't the biggest story that's come out for several years, says an awful lot about just how complacent you folks actually are. You don't even care that you've been getting manipulated for profit for God knows how long. You all should be a lot more angry than you are.
Trump's done for...it's just a matter of who from the campaign goes to prison...luckily I've got Kushner in the office pool.
You can keep trashing Trump, but Trump isn’t going anywhere...
Oh..I think deep down you know... that's not true!
No one does it quite like you do! Great Job!
Stephen, please make "Candid Corruption" a recurring segment or its own show. That was great.
This describes exactly how Putin set Trump up for blackmail.
Maybe facebook will become like myspace.
"I'm not scamming the government if that's what you're saying."
"Your license plate says $CAMMIN"
Speaking of being manipulated by social media....if you don't regularly go to your Chrome/TH-cam settings (upper right on task bar), scroll to the bottom to click 'advanced' and check your privacy/security settings, you're part of the problem. (default settings are designed to profile you and feed Google's analytics).
And if you want to be even more diligent, go a bit further and regularly delete all cookies. They build up quickly and are primarily the dreaded third-party cookies that are spying/tracking your every move.
thank god im not in facebook
How many learned about this and still used FB
I don't care if they report my opinions; I like to share them....And, gosh darn it, I was just getting the hang of the app!
This is a major bombshell !!!
Congrats on over 4 million subs!!!!
This is why i dont use facebook....oh wait, i use TH-cam and Instagram NÒOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
B Kingmvker
Trolls are everywhere..
I can't tell if I should sell my FB shares or buy more.
Colbert is the greatest late night comic of all time. #Bookit These monologues are HBO Special Quality. The Steve Mnunchin impersonation was next level.
We all know the four main personality types. "Neurotic Introvert." "Religious Extrovert." "Fair-Minded Liberal." "Fan of the Occult."
Do people still even use Facebook?
YES, it a massive internet virus as it used for Credential Logins. Even more disturbing is the URL & CDN system Facebook acquired from Akamai. That generates Customs User Specific URL for every page you access to track your activies with 0 ZERO website code. This tracking system is then sold to other companies who want the same capabilities.

So they know that I watched get him to the Greek 300 times, big fucking whoop.
Just love this guy...!!!
AWESOME.
Actually this is not new at all, medias just haven't been following because:
- it's complicated to understand
- Trump tweets were entertaining
You'll find great articles about it dating 2016 on Internet
Indeed. The breaking news here is the journalism by Channel 4 and the whistleblower, both of which give the story a lot more weight than it had a couple years back.
What is hard to understand about it? A lot of people put a lot of information on facebook. That information can be viewed by others and they can use that information to manipulate people. That doesn't just go for companies, but for everyone. If I have information about someone I barely know personally, I could potentially use that information to connect with them or make them like me, or make them do something I would like, if I am able to kinda analyze their profile. Just imagine you would be dating someone and got all the information on them beforehand, what they like, what they dislike, and so on, you could use that information to your advantage. And its the same with companies that can potentially harvest information and use it against a group of people or for political advantage.
So its not that complicated, a lot of people post a lot of information about themselves on facebook and that can be used against them by other people or by a company or political party to manipulate them.
To be fair, few knew about the potency of psy-ops, I was deeply skeptical about it as well. It was well after the 2016 election that the world finally came to realise how devastatingly potent psy-ops truly is, powerful enough to bring democracies down to its' kneels.
We also just learned that the Trump slogans (drain the swamp, deep state, build the wall) were developed back in 2014, 2 years before the election. The mercer family were weaponising information and their propaganda are frighteningly effective.
Top 20. I’m fine with that
Congrats on 4M, Stephen!
Holy shit respect the journalism !
"You didn't know that it was a fear until you saw something that just evoked that reaction from you"
All I can think of is Obama and the millions of America who absolutely lost their mind when a black president was elected.
wetherbizzle Yh that's so true.
John looks so beautiful, please keep cutting to him.
Of course the reporters have to go undercover to expose corruption. As if those corrupted people were gonna go around all day shouting “I’m wearing suit and tie but if you take a look inside, my heart is filthy af!!!”
Candid corruption? Does that explain why so many GOP are acting so sketchy? As if someone has secrets on them? Where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him?
Thanks Stephen. So this is what has replaced democracy?
We sold our souls to marketing a long time ago, they are just getting better at it.
Brett Nine Your comment reminds me of what happened in Rome after Mark Antony delivered his speech at caeser's death. The people rejected democracy for monarchy. Kinda' sad, but this isn't the first time such kind of things are happening.
Nothing the Gop hasn't been doing for decades.
Haha
Every time I think it can't get worse...
I want to watch Candid Corruption ! that would be an amazing show!!
might as well be fourth-coming about my comment status
If your information was in that database it's your fault. Who told you it was a good idea to upload your life to the Internet?
Ramón González while it can be argued to be dumb and naive to do it, the fault lies with the perp, not the victim.
isn't that the whole point, it is to target idiot who do not understand this type of stuff and create fear to vote for their way, and now the rest of us have to face trump as president, while the people who vote trump will never learn about big data.
I don't feel personally harmed by the theft of my information in particular, but even if they didn't steal my information directly, it's the fact that they stole from another 50 million people as well. That kind of massive, diverse data set in the age of big data is worth millions. They stole the information in bulk and used it to influence the outcome of a presidential election. That's the bit I'm angry about.
If some guy steals $1 out of my back pocket, I don't feel moral outrage, I'd probably feel bad for the guy for feeling the need to stoop to that. If someone finds a way to simultaneously steal $1 out of a hundred million bank accounts at once, even if he's still only getting $1 from me, it's different.
S W Well said!
Here's the thing though. The data they received isn't necessarily what people voluntarily uploaded. What they receive is the data that websites these days are constantly collecting like what sort of websites you visit, how long you spend on them etc etc. Your comment, sorry to have to say this, is flawed and ignorant because the data taken WAS NOT voluntarily uploaded it was collected by the websites on their own. Are you telling me that you read the terms and conditions of every website you visit? Because that's the only place where it's mentioned that data is being collected on you.
😂😂 Candid Corruption
The Satanist introvert part was really funny - Colbert has lots of comedy talent and it's a pity he doesn't have a chance to show it more often in the show
Christopher Wyle was not the founder of Cambridge Analytica just a disgruntled contractors who left in a few months
Bullshit, this is typical NOOB talk. Christopher Wyle is your typical Digital Mercenary, Alexander Nix has no coding ability. He needed important Mercenaries like Wyle to setup the company in such short time. Then entire CA operation was a very quick con job the Name Cambridge was selected just fake Legitimacy. I've seen this too many times where Fools ignore the Digital Mercenary in the background doing the grunt work.
Your "disgruntled contractor" is what the rest of us call rats deserting a sinking ship. Or may be he left in a couple of months because he didn't have the stomach for the sleaze show going on. Doesn't change the slimy truth.
Christopher was a Co-founder of CA...
Are you a CA bot? 😂
First for real lol
oxford Think-Em-Ups 😅
You’re the BEST!
