In this explosive memoir, a political consultant and technology whistleblower reveals the disturbing truth about the multi-billion-dollar data industry, revealing to the public how companies are getting richer using our personal information and exposing how Cambridge Analytica exploited weaknesses in privacy laws to help elect Donald Trump–and how this could easily happen again in the 2020 presidential election.
When Brittany Kaiser joined Cambridge Analytica–the UK-based political consulting firm funded by conservative billionaire and Donald Trump patron Robert Mercer–she was an idealistic young professional working on her fourth degree in human rights law and international relations. A veteran of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, Kaiser’s goal was to utilize data for humanitarian purposes, most notably to prevent genocide and human rights abuses. But her experience inside Cambridge Analytica opened her eyes to the tremendous risks that this unregulated industry poses to privacy and democracy.
Targeted is Kaiser’s eyewitness chronicle of the dramatic and disturbing story of the rise and fall of Cambridge Analytica. She reveals to the public how Facebook’s lax policies and lack of sufficient national laws allowed voters to be manipulated in both Britain and the United States, where personal data was weaponized to spread fake news and racist messaging during the Brexit vote and the 2016 election. But the damage isn’t done Kaiser warns; the 2020 election can be compromised as well if we continue to do nothing.
In the aftermath of the U.S. election, as she became aware of the horrifying reality of what Cambridge Analytica had done in support of Donald Trump, Kaiser made the difficult choice to expose the truth. Risking her career, relationships, and personal safety, she told authorities about the data industry’s unethical business practices, eventually testifying before Parliament about the company’s Brexit efforts and helping Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, alongside at least 10 other international investigations.
Packed with never-before-publicly-told stories and insights, Targeted goes inside the secretive meetings with Trump campaign personnel and details the promises Cambridge Analytica made to win. Throughout, Kaiser makes the case for regulation, arguing that legal oversight of the data industry is not only justifiable but essential to ensuring the long-term safety of our democracy.

Content aside, that is definitely an awesome cover pic.

Look… it’s perfectly simple. Trump was elected because so many voters were fed up with the failing policies of the Democrats and the other Republican elites. He was not elected because of an evil conspiracy to rig the election. Get over it.

litote, i take it your a Fox news die hard.
Certainly no big on education where you can from are they.

Why are all these anti-Trump books “explosive”? They usually end up being explosive diarrhea of hate, misinformation, lies and half-truths.
Same Group Think message here. Trump is bad, and anyone else is good.
The American people are very smart. Let each candidate run on their political positions and their accomplishments, and let the voters decide.
Save your money and time. This book is nothing new
America needed a non-career politician. Both Democratic and Republican establishment politicians failed the American people miserably.
He may be unfiltered and inelegant, but he’s a hell of a lot better then what preceded him.

“using our personal information and exposing how Cambridge Analytica exploited weaknesses in privacy laws to help elect Donald Trump–and how this could easily happen again in the 2020 presidential election….”
LOL, the only thing liberals are annoyed about is that Cambridge Analytica are better at it than the Facebook data-mining companies that Hillary and Obama employed for the exact same purpose.
“It happened under Obama, and it was lauded by the media as being genius. And now under the Trump campaign - it’s the Cambridge Analytica scandal…” Meghan McCain.
In other words, the usual double-standard.

“litote, i take it your a Fox news die hard.

Aside from the irony of you insulting his intelligence with a grammatically-challenged post, you provide a perfect example of why anyone sane can’t stand the left - you have no arguments, rely on insults and emotions because you’re simple-minded, and think your feelings and anecdotes are just as legitimate as hard evidence and facts. Continue losing terribly, and remember it’s people like YOU that got Trump elected.

Oh look! Toady trolls! Or is it frogmen bots?
Hard to tell… neither has actual brains or personality.
Shouldn’t you boys be wasting time and money on commercial sites?
Or are you so desperate to fulfill them smear quotas, you’ll try to do it by trolling… well… this place?
Not exactly the cultural or societal vortex this.
Bossman said you need them quotas or you’ll be out on your ass, amiright?
And the winter is coming… not a fun to be coolin your yaytsa outside.

OK, We all know that Putin not only set his bots and intelligence on damaging HC as much as he could, we have seen him collect on the bill as Bone Spur gives way on so much, Russia is now, again, a world power player - The investment paid off- I can understand some debate about how effective that some of the manipulations of the news should have been in a developed society but there is one thing I do not grasp at all. How can anyone who watches/listens to Bone Spur for five minutes not see such a mess of a man, an unethical, stunningly ignorant sociopath with no redeeming assets at all who so despises his own base he can’t even be bothered to attempt to be realistic in his lieing. Just say it, anything, they will believe it. Or despite video, they will say he didn’t really say it. The Evangelicals hypocrisy I get, education of people is giving them a hard time so they are desperate for anyone to push their case, irrespective of how repugnant he is to their base ideals, better him than no one.

2016 was a perfect storm of problems that culminated in the election of a non-political (not elected before) outside personality promising big things to those who felt marginalized by a black president for 8 years. There are many things the right will never acknowledge (since they don’t remember) about how good they had it under Obama (he cut real taxes for everybody making less than $100,000 by over 6% for a couple years, for instance, which is a threshold a lot of Trump’s base don’t meet) but they do remember the few things bad that had no individual effect on them whatsoever but were told was important (Benghazi, Fast and Furious, etc.).
In 2008, Obama shocked the Republican establishment with his use of social media to mobilize Democratic voters. His slogan was catchy but, most of all, his campaign was informative. His idea of arming people with information and letting them vote based on it was so efficient, in fact, Mitch McConnell decided on Election Night (and affirmed it to the American people when he declared the Republican Party was now the ‘Party of No’ and that his sole job was to make sure Obama was a one-term president)to begin doing the complete opposite of informing the public and began misinforming the public. It was a tactic the right used on television (Obama once quipped even he wouldn’t vote for the character they portrayed on Fox News as the President) and the tactic Republicans used by their endless votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act and endless hearings on Benghazi.
Misinformation. If you believe something, you vote accordingly. Trump is the ultimate case-in-point to that. Millions of Americans believed Trump was the best candidate to be President (though three million less than thought Hillary would be better). And though I knew when Trump won the nomination for the Republican Party that he would [of course] be the next President and was very disheartened, I wanted him to put on his big-boy underwear and BE presidential. He even managed to bumble into a few things I agree with. It’s an obvious sentiment so I despise it sounds as if I’m endorsing Mitt Romney: there is a character that is the President of the United States and this character displays the very best of what we all represent as our ambassador to the world. It is such a big job that we have a dozen Departments and thousands of people to make the Office of the President the best it can be. Trump isn’t living up to that character. Like what he’s doing or not, in the end he’s hurt the Office more than he has helped because after three years, he still hasn’t learned HOW to be Presidential. He’s still the CEO and he’s thus far refused to be a President.
Let’s compromise: how about the Republicans get a do-over. We’ll elect a Presidential Republican mouthpiece and see if someone with even a thimble of knowledge and a sense of history can push the delusional conservative agenda forward in a way that doesn’t [violently] divide the country. Most [on the right] will blame Obama for the divided country (since, after all, his election allowed for the whole Black Lives Matter to seem acceptable and then the browns wanted in on it too) but it is definitely our current President that has gotten us to this point.
It isn’t that one campaign used social media mining better that is the problem. Obama used it to tremendous effect in 2008 and they continued to ‘do what works’ for 2012. Hillary sought to do the same thing in 2016, targeting ads to people based on the data-mining Facebook sells. But the game changed. The thing about the Cambridge Analytica “scandal” is that they siphoned tens of millions of Facebook profiles that gave them access to data Facebook wasn’t selling. [Don’t for one second believe the most furious person in the world at the news of the breach wasn’t Mark Zuckerberg since that was HIS data and how dare THEY take it from him.] Coupled with the fact that Facebook has no obligation (beyond a tenuous moral one) to police anything on their platform beyond what is required by law (hint, hint), the idea that the sole source of information so many people receive could actually be misinformation (we already know this to be true with television watchers) and then their votes will determine who is in control of our states and our country based on the false information they believe is a constitutional catastrophe the Founders could have never envisioned in their time of letters sailing across the ocean by sail. Since a globally-connected society that can know about something that happened in a remote part of the world seconds after (or even during) when even just two or three decades ago no one would have ever known outside that remote place didn’t suddenly come up in a vacuum, there are no easy fixes. People have always preyed on other people to serve their own ends. The elite have always relied on their control of the rest to remain elite. Is Assad really doing anything that any of those peoples (not necessarily countries) wouldn’t have done since the Prophet defined them and his heirs divided them? No. They’ve always brutalized each other; for fifteen hundred years they’ve stomped each other into submission and ruled with an iron fist. Except now we get live-stream across the world of his artillery bombardments of his own cities. Religious zealots like ISIS have always gone around brutalizing much-larger populations into submission by their tactics–except now it is global news, not like the Taliban in the eighties and nineties where it took actual people to be there to report on those atrocities. Do you think Putin wants to tolerate protests in the streets of Moscow? Stalin certainly wouldn’t have. Do you think China wants to tolerate Hong Kong, period, let alone protests in Hong Kong about a law they dictated to their serf? The emperors of old wouldn’t have. But those tendencies die hard. Maybe we solve it before we kill each other, maybe aliens invade and force humans to unite against an outside existential threat. Maybe we don’t. Our brains are still young, after all. We still think like ice-age hunter/gatherers and not as a unified 7-billion group capable of colonizing the solar system. Polluting that group with misinformation to keep us hating one another is a potential weapon-of-mass-destruction, especially if misinformation ends up kicking off nuke strikes between already-hated enemies.

strizzmatik-And it is people like YOU who tried to get Hillary elected…and failed. Funny huh?

Malachie520-Wow…whose writing the book here??? Cry much?
October 25th, 2019
This book has triggered so many Trumptards, as evident above. It must be worth reading.
