My biggest issue with this documentary was how they glossed over CA's effect on Indian elections, and it's catastrophic failure in 2014 Indian general elections.
The documentary even has a poster of the Congress Party of India, (not sure of the time stamp). The were known to have been working with CA when the hack was publicized (probably only after Trump won).
If CA was so scary successful in altering the outcome of an election in the US, why did it fail so badly in 2014 Indian general elections?
Also, how is it [politicians using a CA to convince the voters to vote for their candidate] any different from misleading readers of newsprint or any conventional/main stream media(MSM) with fake news and winning elections?
The "feeling" I got after watching this documentary was that the MSM envied facebook's and it's ecosystem's[entities like CA] abilitiy to grab more and more campaign spend, while MSM have no valuable tool to provide (hence reduced revenues from campaign spends). So they made a documentary of it by grabbing a few angry ex-employees (they were angry because they didn't rake in as many $$$$ as the founders).
