    • Trivia
      In September 2020, as part of an investigation into US voter dissuasion tactics employed by the Donald Trump campaign during the 2016 US Presidential Elections, journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy from Channel 4 News (1982) in the UK finally presented David Carroll with Carroll's own personal data file. Carroll previously was unable to obtain his own data file, before, during, or after filming the documentary up until this point, despite suing British data consultancy company Cambridge Analytica for it, before it ceased trading.
    • Quotes

      Herself - Former Director of Business Development for Cambridge Analytica: [in front of committee of inquiry] I have been offered introductions to clients that I refused to meet with before, such as the Alternative for Germany and Marine Le Pen's campaign. I refused to even get on the phone call with them.

    Nothing new, but a vey relevant topic

    Netflix's The Great Hack (2019) is a very timely documentary to remember how our personal data can be used in ways we do not understand and aiming to change our behaviour against our interests. The film dissects a critical look on how Brexit and the latest US Elections suffered from unethical use of data mining and psychographics. An urgent call for us to protect better our data and request with our consumption patterns that our rights are always defended by the tech giants
