I think the point neuronexmachina was trying to make about microtargeting is that Obama simply asked their users to send messages to their friends, whereas CA directly advertised to people.
- downandout 9y agoThe Obama campaign used that data in every way that CA did. The fact that the app only represented that it was sending messages to friends is just as misleading as what Kogan (not CA, who never had an app) did. They used this data that 99.5% of the people didn't authorize them to have for targeting, campaign strategy, etc.
- belltaco 9y agoAgain, collecting data about friends while being upfront about the purpose is very different from collecting friends data with completely false pretenses, selling the data(Alex), and then later lying to Facebook that it was deleted when it was not(CA).
- ilkan 9y agoYou keep stating the same allegations and assumptions, and now including statistics, without sources.
- intended 9y agoBut this then suggests that we should look far more closely at the Hillary campaign and see why it didn’t win. Was it bad management ? Was it not using Facebook data effectively ? Was CA that pivotal? Was it fake news or better microtargetting? If both sides used it why did one side lose?
