- New details are emerging about how the shadowy data firm Cambridge Analytica worked to manipulate voters across the globe, from the 2016 election in the United States to the Brexit campaign in Britain and elections in over 60 other countries, including Malaysia, Kenya and Brazil. A new trove of internal Cambridge Analytica documents and emails are being posted on Twitter detailing the company’s operations, including its work with President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton. The documents come from Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Brittany Kaiser, who worked at the firm for three-and-a-half years before leaving in 2018. We speak with Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer, co-directors of the Oscar shortlisted documentary “The Great Hack”; Brittany Kaiser, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower featured in “The Great Hack” and author of “Targeted: The Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower’s Inside Story of How Big Data, Trump, and Facebook Broke Democracy and How It Can Happen Again”; and Emma Briant, a visiting research associate in human rights at Bard College whose upcoming book is titled “Propaganda Machine: Inside Cambridge Analytica and the Digital Influence Industry.”

NO WAR WITH IRAN
Whistle blowers like Manning Snowdon and Assange also need to be protected.
Free Assange!
@Enano Yo whats up with all this Zionist language. What do you mean what are you implying.
@Enano Yo While I agree with your recommendations, I do not believe Amy to support the Zionist cause, however she has interviewed some extreme Zionists with far too little correction of the disinformation she was allowed to spew forth... Actually in hindsight, I do not know what to believe...
I will continue to advocate for peace, and the freedom of Palestine, and restoration of all property rights to the 1940s owners, and significant reparations to all victims of Zionism.
But I also wish for a world free from all Abrahamic religiousity.
I absolutely agree! It's time to jail the real criminals--including MFERBERG!
@Enano Yo sounds like 'inane I' in Spanish. You're badly informed, to be sure! You should watch Thom Hartmann, Roland Martin, Laura Flanders, TYT, The Majority Report, The Rational National, The Michael Brooks Show, Rebel HQ, and ALWAYS Democracy Now! Wake up!
Benedict Donald is the tip of the iceberg.

Thank you for this informative news. Deeply appreciate hearing what you cover.
1984 doesn't come even close to the mind fuckery going on here.
More like a Scanner Darkly.

When reality is even worse than fiction.
Dont let anybody get away with saying "nobody is talking about this". From the left or the right!
LETS JUST START WITH MOSCOW MITCH
Thank you dear lady for being honest and open 🕊
Brittany had full knowledge and awareness of what she was involved in, and instrumental in CA's illegal activities. It doesn't seem right to call her a whistleblower
Agreed. She got very rich, then realized as it hit the fan that she would go down in history as one of the people instrumental in the election of the worst US president in history. So she tried to get out in front of it and run damage control to save her reputation.
I don't recognize the work of wealthy people while they choose to remain wealthy.
vgambit Exactly...she cooperated with investigators and got a second chance. But what she did is criminal. That’s not what I would consider a whistle blower
Genau so sehe ich es auch. Erst den maximalen Schaden anrichten und sich dann auf die andere Seite schlagen. Die verarschen uns.
Kaiser blew the whistle late in the game, Chris Wylie is the actual whistleblower.
But he didn't have the info she did!
Thank you Democracy Now, always the on the "hot" trail!
Must Watch Interview
Old news, TRNN broke this year's ago before they went down the tubes.
Incorrect. The documents and emails discussed in this video were released just a few days ago.
Just watched the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix as well. When they say the worth of personal data has surpassed the value of oil, they really mean the worth of personal data TO MANIPULATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
I'm not convinced SCL was "doing good work" when they working in Military Industrial Complex (Defence industry). Their work was manipulative from the start. Anyway there are worse companies than CA still operating but their work is for US government, NSA & CIA.
Right
"The production of souls is more important than the production of tanks.... And therefore I raise my glass to you, writers, the engineers of the human soul." - Joseph Stalin
DataPropria, look them up. As CA shut down, they simply moved their methods by starting a new company based in San Antonio, Texas. Their website is eerily deficient in terms of transparency in what they do and who they are. But when you glance at their "careers" page and read job descriptions, they're doing exactly what CA did. So my question for Brittany Kaiser: Why aren't you exposing these issues as they are happening in the present? Preaching digital literacy is great, but you could be identifying former colleagues of yours who have set up shop under a new company with intentions to carry on business as usual.
Hey look, the corporate media is refusing to cover this!
Because Facebook and Google is involved too....big $$$$$$$
The reason is because this story is a big nothing burger. Everyone already knows what we do online is not private and definitely used to market products directly to us.
@@davidriggs8713
This story is not about how they sell products, but about social engineering. It's about people thinking they are informed and reacting to the state of affairs, when they're just following the script.
It's been done forever, through religion, with scare tactics, with nationalism, etc, but it had some limits: if you target individually, you can't do it big scale, and if you do it big scale you can't adapt to suit individual personalities and tendencies. Creating a compelling story was hard. Now they do all that at the same time, they target specifically each person, on a large scale, and knowing what works.
And this is not about obvious advertising/propaganda alone. It's about more subtle manipulation.
It might be a thing some of us already knew, but most people are not conscious of it, just as they're not conscious of how the news they consume fit certain agendas, or how the sites they browse keep presenting them veiled propaganda.
@@davidriggs8713 WRONG people DO NOT REALIZE exactly how they are manipulated

Where is Jason Bourne when you need him.
All these folks did was wake up to the method, and reinvent the wheel.
Ahhh look up operation mocking bird.
When will you cover the whistleblowers who exposed the OPCW? The fact that they covered up the fact that the syrian government did not commit chemical weapons attack against their own population?
No way Democracy Now would touch that. They are red baiting and Assad hating neoliberals.
That would be real news.
quit pushing propaganda
if it is it can it become a new moment of reality on a real screen world wide at this time
Cambridge did not vote one time. They stepped in not one voting booth. Get over it.
What has happened with this since?

What's new!
Right. This is so 2000
If Trump would live to the rule of law there would be peace in our world! of U.S.A..
The Great Hack is a great documentary. When you watch you realize even the most astute of us were targeted whether we wanted to believe it or not. The everyday voter didn't have a chance. Some of the meme stuff was obvious but some of the other targeting was very subtle.
So silly. Everyone knows that online activity is used to sell them things including ideas. Why pretend to be shocked.
No, it was with their consent. They didn't read the agreement.
I would totally date her
What a great mind fuck this is.

I think you were too busy going hook line and sinker on Russia gate, totally ignoring Cambridge Analytica. You did mention it briefly. Then back to Russia Russia Russia.
It was always a fake story. Cambridge is also much ado about nothing. We all know they track what you do online and market to us based on that.
@@davidriggs8713"Market" to us? You're trying to convince someone that multi billionaires, and fanatical extremists like Bolton and Bannon are only trying to sell to us their political version of the latest toothpaste on the market?
It is a big deal. A big, dangerous insidious deal. They're not running bs ads lying about a politician. They are running psychological operations, propaganda, covert disinformation campaigns, brainwashing mind melding tactics. These are field tested successful tactics used to "effect US national will." "Affect attitudes and behaviors." "Directly disseminate campaigns of misinformation to the US public."
You blowing this off as no big deal, demeaning the absolute horror of this is very curious. Either you are very numb to abuse, or gullible, or on a payroll. Whichever, it's people like you that made their mission a success.
@@sharond2814 Billionaires have always been the players and micro targeting is not new. Pearl clutch all you want but to pretend this is a new issue and not rampant on all sides makes me question your intelligence. My guess is you are too lazy to deal with the fact that Hillary ran a terrible campaign that abandoned blue wall states and would rather just pretend you were cheated not beaten by least popular candidate in modern history. Grow up and stop pretending you are new to technology of information persuasion games. Ever hear of personal responsibility? Cambridge voted in not one voting booth. But I get it Russia Russia Russia. 😒smh
@@sharond2814 all you described were modern marketing techniques(the horror). I wonder if you are democratic troll farm agent.
@@davidriggs8713 I find it hilarious and sad that you, and many other psych fucked people, went straight to partisan politics. You're trying to demean someone who NEVER fell for Russia Gate. And someone who never has and never will support Hillary Clinton. I very my news from real in the ground journalists that vets their reports.
Pearl clutching? If you do not grasp how insidious and dangerous it is for the CIA and Pentagon to be using psyops, propaganda, covert disinformation campaigns on continents world wide, then you're just thick.
And grow up? I'm close to my expiration date. A lot of lessons, decades of observations, a lot learned. It's people like you that try to make this behavior seem acceptable and the norm that causes concern. You're either a easy mark, or you're on the payroll. I think the latter.
I smell a Z
Brave.

stephen murphy grow the fuck up.
Brittany Kaiser, you are the BEST. Youre cute as all git-out, your voice is sultry and sexy, youre incredibly articulate and knowledgeable, you have a good heart and a solid conscience, your hair looks awesome... and you make me wish that I were a whole lot younger!
So when will you do an in depth investigation and report of the myriad number of similar companies to Cambridge Analytica tied to the Democratic party? Fairness is a nonpartisan enterprise. To theorize this type of activity is a one-sided partisan agenda is disingenuous at best.
Merle Patterson : sounds like a heap of "what-about-ism". Myriad companies employed by Democrats? You just made that up - come on, name several....
Meanwhile CA and their Mercer, Bannon, Right wing democracy suppressing links are well proven.
I'm all in favour of fairness, but not non-equivalence.

@@BMrider75 Axciom, Choice Point, Lexis Nexis, Palantir, Infra Guard, CACI, and a whole host of ambiguous others are just a fraction of corporate third party aggregators collecting from the big tech giants. Not to mention big defense companies which do similar aggregation such as Northrup Grumman, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin. Then there's all the National Labs. EPA, NIH, CDC and University specific institutions to which the general public has no clue as to their unique practices with private data. Like I said, a Myriad.
@J H It's the only proven example. And "Growing a pair" is why we elect representatives to congress so that they will investigate on our behalf. I'm the very last person in society who needs to "grow a pair" my friend.
@@merlepatterson : no silly, not the media groups you personally don't like, or third party operators galore, no, the ones " with ties to the Democrats" that you said there is a myriad of.....
Do you have proof of Democrats using military psyops or psychometrics? Or are you just slinging mud?
And who engages in, and profits from, other underhand techniques like voter purging and gerrymandering?
