Thats pretty damn devious. Russian/American wrote the program. I surprised this has not blown up. So if you have a friend responding to those silly things it knows you and your tendencies. That's fairly illegal. But smart. I don't know exactly how I would have been classified. Clinton was a hold-my-nose default vote. Definitely did not express enough white pride... Didn't matter for a Texas survey though.

Aw hell. Had a great run skiing. Was storming Taos before getting the condo at Crested Butte. Summer was just as much fun as winter with fly fishing and 4 wheeling in the mountains. Skiing has really changed with the shorter fatter skis today. I was running 220s on double diamonds back then. You just turned in the air.

I only go twice a year. Never ever going on double Diamonds. I was always asking about the fishing. I tried fly fishing in Buena Vista with a guide but was not very good. I just love all the walking and hiking and just looking for fish, if I had grown up in those colder streams I would have it down. I really just do our coast the best in a kayak.

Man. 10 years... Of skiing and fishing in that wonderful place... You should be very happy.

Oh the smell is in the air. Even though that place is family friendly, it's also ski bum friendly. I have a friend who used to help plan weddings there, lived there.

Below the Taylor reservoir was some of the most frustrating and,challenging fly fishing for big trout I have ever done. Using freaking #28 shrimp nymphs and trying to get those 3' long rainbows to bite in that crystal clear water was maddening.

I probably could not get the spring hungry fish to even take a look I'm so bad at presentation. Hell I have good eyes and could barely see those small nymph fly thingies I was told to try. I don't have the dexterity for that level of fiddling. Did your wear magnifying glasses or what... Those tippets tapering like that was a shocking realization for me. I never knew all that stuff. I broke more than a few lines with that tapering down to hair thin.

After CB I skied Utah some tree skiing in Deer Valley. Last pair of skis I bought were K2 4s as they were just starting to widen the shovels on the skis. Damn those were some high speed cruisers. They would chatter like a motherfucker smoking the bumps but would still hold the edge and track.

Yeah, the skis i learned on were stiff as hell. Long and skinny. First pair I owned were 220cm Head 360s. Broke one going mach 2 when I centered two moguls at steamboat. Broke the metal lamination and it looked like a horseshoe. Fuck, that was before ski brakes and I was bouncing down the mountain with broken skis tied to me with ski leashes. It was freaking ugly.

Obama Staffer: Facebook Knew Presidential Campaign Improperly Seized Data, Looked the Other Way

Carol Davidsen, former director of Obama for America’s Integration and Media Analytics, reveals the manner the Democratic presidential campaign was freely given access. Furthermore, she openly claims that Facebook gave the Obama campaigners a pass because of their political affiliation.

You know when you see an ad for Little Debbie, and above the ad it lists two or three of your friends like "like" Little Debbie? That's this.

Hell you don't even need to give apps permission to access your friends list anymore, advertisers can target you and your friends on Facebook simply based on your browsing behavior.

That sounds like a recruitment pitch. "We're big Obama fans, come work for us!" And even if it's not, Facebook is a private company who is free to disable certain components of its platform at any time for any reason. It is constantly reacting, changing and optimizing to how people are using, and potentially abusing, their platform. It is not inherently wrong (and certainly not illegal) for them to decide not to prevent the campaign from using data in this way.

Most importantly, the data in the Time article was accessed through Facebook with users' permission to do so. That's the biggest fundamental difference between this and CA. Oh, and they accessed the data by misleading about their intentions. Oh, and then they lied about having it or using it.

[boutons_deux]

Campaign digitial director Jared had RNC demographic data which he/Bannon/Manafort probably gave to CA.

CA put it all together gave it of Pootin. The cyber army attack was engaged.

Cambridge Analytica's Ad Targeting Is the Reason Facebook Exists

Thousands of third party apps were designed solely to obtain and sell your data. It's no surprise that the data ended up being used again on Facebook, one of the biggest advertising platforms on Earth.

I have associated my account with 100 separate third party apps. Besides common ones like Spotify, Venmo, and Uber, I have given access to my account to apps

According to these settings, however, lots of these apps still have access to the same information Cambridge Analytica used to target Facebook users with political ads that helped Donald Trump win (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/mg9vvn/how-our-likes-helped-trump-win) the 2016 presidential election.

Typing Maniac—a game I vaguely remember from college—has access to my public profile, my friend list, my relationship status, my “relationship interests,” my birthday, my work history, my status updates, my education history, my events, my hometown, my current city, photos I’m tagged in and that I’ve uploaded, my religious and political views, my videos, my website, my personal description, and my “likes.”

“Cambridge Analytica used an information extraction technique that was well-known to technologists for years.

The implications of this debacle is about crystallizing the threat about how dangerous the information ecosystem is.”

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbxgzb/cambridge-analytica-facebook-ad-targeting-third-party-apps?utm_campaign=Motherboard+Premium+Newsletter+-+319&utm_content=Motherboard+Premium+Newsletter+-+319+CID_c14f0fe92bfc262123d7e48a52a5ffce&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Campaign+Monitor&utm_term=What+Cambridge+Analytica+Did+Is+Exactly+W hat+Facebook+Is+Designed+For

FB's childish dreamer develpers were sorta like Internet protocols in the early days, when the original developers assumed good faith on the tiny number of users, and were struggling just to get protocols to work, so almost no security was built in, and security had to be hacked in over the next 30+ years, and they are still working on it.

FB dreamers came along much later and should have known, and very certainly did know, how nasty a place Internet is, but naively, stupidly assumed good faith.

The user data is now "out of the barn" and no assurances that CA or anybody else will destroy it will not be believed. Pootin's cyber army sure admit they even have CA's data. And CA is run by a Russian, so you know there's no good faith innocence there, just the opposite.

I hope billionaire Cruz/Trash fellator Mercer gets implicated in the CA debacle.

The Congressional Repugs are REFUSING to help the states upgrade, secure, harden their voting systems, proving Repugs are quite happy with outdated, hackable voting systems amenable to Repugs' own counting fraud.

I would say in this day and age, the likelihood of finding out is greater. I can’t say personally that I specifically know of a foreign interference like the one that appears to have occurred here, but I would not at all be surprised to find this common place.

Also, whether foreign or domestic, this type of meddling occurs and has pissed me off for a long time. I’m just saying I don’t get the outrage here vs historically. Some people may take more issue with it being foreign based, but I’m pretty sure that happens all the time and I also think it’s just as bad domestically (personally).

I mean, look at what the DEMS did to Bernie very openly. There was only a small amount of outrage there and that was completely rigged to get Hilary nominated.

Facebook security head Alex Stamos is reportedly leaving the company

Facebook security chief Alex Stamos is reportedly leaving the company after clashing with other members of its leadership over

whether Facebook should be more proactive in handling its role in disseminating falsehoods.

The Times says Stamos had been a forceful advocate for investigating and revealing the company’s role in Russian meddling on the platform

“to the consternation” of executives such as COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Political leaders in the UK and the US have expressed outrage (http://time.com/5204920/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-cambridge-analytica/) over how Cambridge Analytica was able to harvest data from 50 million Facebook users.

US senator Ron Wyden sent a letter (https://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-releases/wyden-questions-facebook-on-misuse-of-users-private-information) to Zuckerberg today (March 19) seeking information about Facebook’s policies on sharing user data with third parties. Wyden set a deadline of April 13.

Are people really surprised or mad about this? This is politics. It’s been dirty for a long time, we are just in the modern age. But dirty smear type campaigns have always existed as well as deception and lies.

Surprised ... well yeah and interested.

Anytime the methodology and possibly connections are mentioned so timely with other things going on its news. This is sneaky stuff. Facebook got used in a very clever way. I applaud the OP bringing it up. Especially Crested Butte. People have learned some very interesting new things about Facebook. At least I have from the cleverness standpoint.

In short, according to the Times’ reporting, which is borne out by many other reports of the time, the Obama campaign engaged in nearly identical activity to what Cambridge Analytica is claimed to have done: they took a set of users who willingly contributed their data to a cause and quietly mined their friend lists, downloading immense volumes of private material from unwitting individuals that never authorized, let alone had any idea, that a political campaign was harvesting their information from Facebook simply because a person they were connected with had given the organization permission to harvest their information.

In Obama’s case, the original contributors at least explicitly knew they were contributing to a campaign effort, even if their millions of unwitting friends had no idea their private information was being harvested to attempt to sway their voting behavior. In Cambridge Analytica’s case, users knew only that they were contributing to an academic research project, but the line between academia and the corporate world is ever more blurred in the data world and it is routine for academic institutions to engage in corporate-supported research using data owned by the institution in the support of commercial agendas. Indeed, the claims that Facebook data was collected for academic research and then made available to a commercial enterprise are hardly unsurprising for anyone familiar with the processes and procedures at most top US research universities, especially their corporate funded research and their licensing and commercialization programs.

Cambridge is no longer in contention to work for Mr. Trump at the Republican National Committee, a company spokesman confirmed, nor is it working for America First Policies, a new nonprofit formed to help advance the president’s agenda.

In recent months, the value of Cambridge’s technology has been debated by technology experts and in some media accounts. But Cambridge officials, in recent interviews, defended the company’s record during the 2016 election, saying its data analysis helped Mr. Trump energize critical support in the Rust Belt. Mr. Nix said the firm had conducted tens of thousands of polls for Mr. Trump, helping guide his message and identify issues that mattered to voters.

But when asked to name a single race where the firm’s flagship product had been critical to victory, Mr. Nix declined.

“We bake a cake, it’s got 10 ingredients in it. Psychographics is one of them,” he said. “It’s very difficult to isolate exactly what the impact of that ingredient is.”

In late September 2016, Cambridge and other data vendors were submitting bids to the Trump campaign. Then-candidate Trump's campaign used Cambridge Analytica during the primaries and in the summer because it was never certain the Republican National Committee would be a willing, cooperative partner. Cambridge Analytica instead was a hedge against the RNC, in case it wouldn't share its data.

The crucial decision was made in late September or early October when Mr. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Brad Parscale, Mr. Trump's digital guru on the 2016 campaign, decided to utilize just the RNC data for the general election and used nothing from that point from Cambridge Analytica or any other data vendor. The Trump campaign had tested the RNC data, and it proved to be vastly more accurate than Cambridge Analytica's, and when it was clear the RNC would be a willing partner, Mr. Trump's campaign was able to rely solely on the RNC.

Facebook Inc. is under investigation by a U.S. privacy watchdog over the use of personal data of 50 million users by a data analytics firm to help elect President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is probing whether Facebook violated terms of a 2011 consent decree over its handing of user data that was transferred to Cambridge Analytica without their knowledge, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Under the 2011 settlement, Facebook agreed to get user consent for certain changes to privacy settings as part of a settlement of federal charges that it deceived consumers and forced them to share more personal information than they intended. That complaint arose after the company changed some user settings without notifying its customers, according to an FTC statement at the time.

An FTC spokeswoman said in emailed statement that the agency is aware of the issues that have been raised, but can’t comment on whether it is investigating. The agency takes any allegations of violations of consent decrees seriously, the statement said.

If the FTC finds Facebook violated terms of the consent decree, it has the power to fine the company more than $40,000 a day per violation.

'Utterly horrifying': ex-Facebook insider says covert data harvesting was routine

Hundreds of millions of Facebook users are likely to have had their private information harvested by companies that exploited the same terms as the firm that collected data and passed it on to Cambridge Analytica, according to a new whistleblower.

Sandy Parakilas, the platform operations manager at Facebook responsible for policing data breaches by third-party software developers between 2011 and 2012, told the Guardian he warned senior executives at the company that its lax approach to data protection risked a major breach.

“My concerns were that all of the data that left Facebook servers to developers could not be monitored by Facebook, so we had no idea what developers were doing with the data,” he said.

Parakilas said Facebook had terms of service and settings that “people didn’t read or understand” and the company did not use its enforcement mechanisms, including audits of external developers, to ensure data was not being misused.

Parakilas, whose job was to investigate data breaches by developers similar to the one later suspected of Global Science Research, which harvested tens of millions of Facebook profiles and provided the data to Cambridge Analytica, said the slew of recent disclosures had left him disappointed with his superiors for not heeding his warnings.

“It has been painful watching,” he said, “because I know that they could have prevented it.”

Do you not hope for Trump to be impeached and participate in every single thread discussing something that could possibly get him impeached?

That's because I never said it.

Hoping for impeachment would be a waste of time with the group of cowards in the Republican party.

CA used stolen information, to harvest propaganda. Not mention bribery and entrapment.

CA used supposedly protected personal information to target their propaganda in a very efficient manner. This is what I got so far.

Anyone got a good article that explains possible legal issues?

After reading a few more articles, I'm having trouble finding where CA broke any US laws or election laws. They may have bribed/blackmailed people in other countries, but I haven't read any of that happening in the US. I don't like the big brother aspect of CA/FB at all, but unfortunately our laws have not caught up to technology. Technology is just moving too fast for our lawmakers to keep pace with. Ten years ago, no one would have imagined the amount of information that we provide through our phones like constant location tracking, purchases, etc.

My $0.02 on CA... it looks like they sold vaporware. Their initial selling point was that they had this treasure trove of data that could help sway elections and specifically target voters but once Parscale (shout out to the SA homie) actually started looking at the data he decided that it wasn't valuable. They got scammed out of $5M by CA and Bannon. Now, CA has information that's really not as valuable as they thought, but they're still out there selling the promise so they start resorting to bribes/blackmail as proof of their results.

This report is Part Two of a Channel 4 News series, ‘Data, Democracy and Dirty Tricks’, investigating Cambridge Analytica.

Part Three, on the company’s work in the United States, will be broadcast at 7pm tonight (Tuesday, 20 March 2018).

Oh baby.

Here's the link to the site and the other 2 released videos thus far.

Part 3 is going to focus on how they claim they helped Trump win.

The wingnut conspiracy involves the use of data from Spectrum health, but it all looks like pizza to me.

[Pavlov]

Latest one should be hitting the air pretty soon.

[KenMcCoy]

Finally watched the video...CA has two good defenses for the statements in the video: puffery or they were trying to ascertain whether the client wanted them to do something illegal, at which point they would cease discussions. One guy says "we don't do this type of stuff" and then at the next meeting with the main boss, the boss says "we do this type of stuff." It's kind of odd...

Will be interested to see what comes out in the next two parts.

Probably know better not to do it in the United States. But the guy admits as much that they've gone beyond the call of duty in places like Africa.

At some point in the video he says they pretty much run elections there.

they weren't under oath. Believe nothing, that won't admit EVER to any wrongdoing. Their business is dishonest propaganda, so of course they would lie about their business.

And the CA founder is a fucking Russian.

FACEBOOK FAIL: Obama Campaign ‘SUCKED’ Private User Data During 2012 Election



As the controversy surrounding Facebook’s alleged cooperation with outside entities continues to swirl; new information shows former President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign mined the social network’s user data to help reach likely voters, reports Fox News.

Carol Davidsen, Obama’s former Director of Integration and Media Analytics, confirmed the campaign’s use of Facebook’s “social graphs” -illustrations that map users’ varying connections- on Twitter, saying “Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing.”

“They came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side,” she added.


975569294644924416


975568130117459975


Davidsen’s admission comes as Facebook finds itself in hot-water over their policies permitting outside factors to impact the US electoral system.

Earlier this year, the Justice Department indicted 13 Russian nationals for exploiting Facebook in order to sway American voters.

The only potential US crime I've seen (and was mentioned in the video) may be some concentrated effort between the campaign and the PAC. Not sure what the penalties are for that.

After watching the third video, it's even less shocking. They acted as a PAC to identify potential voters and advertised to them. That's not that different than doing TV campaigns in certain geographic locations on specific channels. It's all just been updated for social media.

Even the investigators say at the end "almost all of this is bragging to try and land a client."
