So... If I were in Cambridge Analytica's position, employed to influence the US election, one of the first things I'd do is match this data with any data I could find on voting patterns. Which reminds me, didn't some of the Russian APTs hack into state voter databases?
- oh_sigh 9y agoYou don't need to hack into voter databases - most people register for the party they vote for and that is public information(along with their home address, phone number, and whether they voted in past elections).
