‘I made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: meet the data war whistleblower
https://www.theguardian.com/news…Facebook’s Surveillance Machine
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/…- Feels like the right time to delete fb and begin to stand up against obtrusive data collection.instrmntl
- I wonder if it isn't already too late. FB, Tw, IG, G+, LinkedIn ... all these social networks we've signed up to for years, and all of that data stored.Continuity
- When I click 'Delete' on one of these things, I don't trust that my data will actually be deleted.Continuity
- It most likely will not be deleted, but at least it will stop you from continually sharing info, and maybe can legally stop them from browser tracking you.instrmntl
- This pink haired dude is really making himself a target. Like he goes supermarket, anyone seeing the news this week will recognise him. Why pink hair?shapesalad
- The chemicals in hair dye are carcinogenic and really toxic, if anything it'll increase his chance of going grey/bald.shapesalad
- almost all sites use trackers like google analytics that collect data about users. this means google knows almost everything about you.pablo28

- maybe he just died his hair pink for the interviews.err
- @pablo28 of course but its a step in the right direction.instrmntl
- Don Lemon interviewed him on CNN last night. He is the WORST interview in human history. I just hope someone will corroborate him because he's not credible.CyBrainX
- The pink dude doesn't reveal how it's done, he's really just spreading his pink hair philosophy.robotron3k

- hitler had facebook?Gnash
- Can't help but feel it's superficial and mephitic to judge the guy on how he looks.shapesalad
- I tend to have a default natural look of 'worried/nervous' even if inside I'm feeling calm and confident.shapesalad
- I've noticed over the years, I get treated differently from naturally confident looking people. I can't exactly change my DNA to correct this...shapesalad
- So while I agree he is looking/acting a bit odd, cut him a break, he's young, being grilled in front of the entire world. How would you look?shapesalad
- Mr Bornstein himself looks akin to an ananas comosus.shapesalad
- that's funny because i always found myself far to handsome to be a billionaire... i jest; but do you not think his ugliness has a lot to do with why he createdkingsteven
- facebook? he realised at a very early age that all social activity is 'online dating' and exploited it (then instantly through his language made it clear thatkingsteven
- I don't think he looks ugly. He looks like a serial killer.PhanLo
- his users data was his commodity). There's an argument to be made that he's nearly destroyed the world by being ugly. KILL ALL UGs. - again i jest. yer parinoidkingsteven
- hah, sorry @PhanLo. caught you in my rant brackets.kingsteven
- Sorry man. :-)PhanLo
- heh, i don't think he's particularly ugly either although you can see why he never wears a suit! really don't buy the "i don't care about my appearance" line.kingsteven

As easy as it is to hate on FB and Zuckerberg...how is any of this news to people? Did journalists really need the pink hair guy to tell them that Facebook runs a business based on microtargeting ads to their users?
Deep down I think the media is still searching for an explanation for why Trump was elected. The media mostly hates Trump but they still cling to this idea of American voters as good, decent, well-informed, tolerant..
They don't want to confront the fact that Americans really did vote for a racist wannabe dictator TV celebrity, so they latch onto any allegation of outside interference without asking how consequential it actually was.
- I don't think targetted sales ads were ever the issue, as you say everyone knew their data was used for those.
This is about misuse of data (users were misledfadein11 - when installing the CA app).
Also was anyone aware or did they agree to their data being used in election campaigns? and that data being used in the creationfadein11 - of masses of fake news to influence an election.
Both the UK referendum and the presidential campaign were extremely close. So did it affect the results?fadein11 - The reason this story is so big has nothing to do with standard targeted marketing everyone agrees to when using Facebook.fadein11
- I do agree with the latter part of what you say though. It's time to move on. But surely it's worth preventing it happening again.fadein11
- If that is even possible.fadein11
- Putting aside the fact that they were working for Trump and Brexit, I'm not convinced that what Cambridge Analytica did was all that unique.yuekit
- well I guess those were 2 huge recent elections so prob the most significant. One we got Trump the other we prob started the end of the EU.fadein11
- This is simply how modern political campaigns are run. Of course it is disturbing if you look at it from a certain perspective, but it's not really new.yuekit
- But nope I doubt it is unique. Facebook massively tightened up its 3rd party API right after discovering what CA had done so it is far harder to do the same nowfadein11
- regardless of what comes from all of this.
They knew they had fucked up and tried to keep it quiet (another reason it's big news).fadein11 - @yuekit. agree to a degree but this is about ease of use, scale and personalisation. Fake news on this scale is also a new thing, combine that with a userfadein11
- profile and you have a hugely powerful weapon. Way more powerful than any TV ad (that is legally obliged to tell you who it is from). This kind of targettingfadein11
- is v.misleading. Not so worrying for a younger generation who can spot a fake news site a mile off but v.effective for older users.fadein11
- I don't think targetted sales ads were ever the issue, as you say everyone knew their data was used for those.

This guy is not fit for politics at all.
- He and Bezos would be the fucknut Centrist wonder-ticket.face_melter
- That's probably true but I think Bezos would eat this kids head at the table.sted
- I disagreemonospaced
- He was well prepared but at some questions he can't improvise. And they constantly interrupt his answers and some of the information gets lost.sted

Always makes me LOL that everyone goes mad that a free service that a lot of people base entire careers around, actually makes money from their commodity (people). The data leak is a fuck up, yes, but the notion that consumer profiling and sharing from brands is something new is ridiculous. We give them all our secrets and conversations without question, never reading the terms and conditions of anything. Not saying its right but i'm not surprised by any means.
Also, hackers gonna hack. No matter how strong the vault is, there's always someone ready to go in.
- Well, being shocked is one thing. Being outraged and demanding shit like that doesn't happen in the future is another.********
- but yes, if you're sharing information on facebook that you're worried about being shared and sold, you're a fucking idiot.********
- yupGuyFawkes
- I'm a little irked that FB make money from me, tracking me and creating a consumer profile as they likely have, given that I don't have an FB account.detritus
- I'm a little irked that my details, including phone number and social map, are cross-correlated with all my friends on FB and WhatsApp, when I use neither.detritus
- the fun part didn't start yet...when all the leaked data goes public, even if by then it's a 3-5 year old datasetuan
- Well, being shocked is one thing. Being outraged and demanding shit like that doesn't happen in the future is another.
