Christopher Wylie | Fashion Models and Cyber Warfare |

Controversial British political marketing firm Cambridge Analytica weaponised fashion brands to help elect Donald Trump president of the United States, revealed Christopher Wylie, the whistle-blower who earlier this year lifted the lid on the company’s misuse of data belonging to 87 million Facebook users, adding to public distrust of the world’s largest social network.

He says so much that most viewers may not understand, and dip out at 3:35. They should listen carefully to see how important it is that he's saying. Putting all this together was not an easy task and he makes it seems so simple. Thank you for this video.

[@youfakou]

Came here thanks to Simplicissimus

[@DMMinthehouse]

Although he has a shitty past... I feel like he's talking some real truth and no one is giving credit in the comments. He has an incredible good point about how these social media platforms can optimize people/users and censor them. Culture is becoming more internet based and we need to be extremely cautious and self aware about this today

[@danielhutchinson6604]

The Little guy was used by the Mercers to develop a program to market Politicians. In the American electoral industry the ability to manipulate thoughts is a way to promote Profits. Mercer figured out how to manipulate data to produce profits in Hedge Funds. Transferring that use of algorithms into manipulating electoral sentiment enabled him to quit his Day Job.... It appears that Robert and Rebekah Mercer now operate the most effective Marketing Program in the 14 billion buck electoral industry. The GOP is their best customer....

please wok on the sound its very low

[@dennissalisbury496]

I had to turn up both Utube sound and computer sound to 100%, makes me think this is intentional to minimize views. Other speakers on the same channel are fine, no sound issues. Sound intimidation at work.

[@mattbonanza9032]

One of the best things related to fashion I heard recently. Thanks for this interesting intel.

[@fashiondelilisbon5995]

OMG! Everyone must see it!

[@mmo5042]

How probable is it that they (Bannon) are/were the only ones doing it and only once if the process is so available? Zero?

[@Ovidiu209]

They bought Cambridge Analitica. This is not for anyone

[@david0aloha]

0%, it's definitely not just them. For instance, the researcher who initially gave the facebook data and psycho-graphic model (the one that turns your posts, likes, dislikes, and contacts into a relatively accurate psychological profile) also passed that data and model on to Russia via his research with St. Petersburg University with which he was affiliated. Obama's campaign team also engaged in similar modeling back in 2012, although it may not have been as sophisticated at the time (but that was 7 years ago at this point). On top of that, advertising companies have provided a big market for employing techniques like these since they make more money from highly targeted ads.

[@SergieXD]

Very good and interesting speech

[@cristinaletemd]

Fashion and fascism are both contagious

[@scottdiamond3023]

brilliant

[@woah-dude]

in case you wonder, audio recording and mastering was done by the intern

[@brianmcquain3384]

The beginning was strong, the reframing and undermining or underminding was heavy on the negative one side, and it made me wonder if there was a more comprehensive approach to presenting the information with a stronger sense of eunoia.

[@lukystreik]

this is the „whistle blower“ of the Cambridge analytica scandal. Very interesting presentation of the backgrounds.

[@tiffanyyy42]

Will the full replays be shared? Thanks!

[@DmitriRuwan]

Amidst talking about something so relevant to our culture and society, throwing in that Grindr joke should have received much more laughs than it did! Either people were not vibing or they were too engrossed in the serious nature of this issue, and by-god I hope its the latter.

[@alexhoneydealer1798]

Шикарная лекция- спасибо. Два замечания: исследование "мода-характер" подразумевают интерес к моде и материальный достаток. Это "conditional probability"Шикарная лекция- спасибо. Два замечания: исследование "мода-характер" подразумевают интерес к моде и материальный достаток. Это уже "conditional probability". Нужна метрика которая не зависит от материального достатка и интереса к моде. В США - модой интересуются малый круг по сравнению с Европой. Интересно, как автор введёт метрику для "демократии". "Наша демократия". Это что?

[@Protogen-ly8hw]

Метрика по моде, как Крис верит, очень хорошо работает.

[@funkykong8]

Die doku zeichnet ein sehr einseitiges bild. Nur ein bruchteil des internationalen finanzmarktes besteht aus dem gezeigten day trading also das tägliche kaufen und verkaufen von einzeltiteln um mit „kleinen“ diskrepanzen schnelles geld zu machen. Der Großteil des kapitals wird nicht mit dieser risikoreichen und ultra kurzfristigigen strategie veranlagt sondern viel mehr mit fundamentalen hintergrund, besonders der aktien- und anleihenmarkt zeigt nie die derzeitige konjunkturellen entwicklung sondern bildet die „nahe“ zukunft ab. Liebes arte-team ich mag eure dokus wirklich sehr aber diese reihe ist sehr unausgewogen und zeichnet nicht das große ganze.

[@Paul-Cassidy]

Never found this guy credible. Feels like he's working too hard to push his narrative that he was innocent in all this. Question why did he continue working there for so long? Question why did he take Facebook data & try to setup his own consultancy post Cambridge Analytica if he recognised it was such a terrible thing? I noticed his legal crowdfunding efforts have been in no way successful.

[@jjjenkins2008]

he actually attempted to sell this service/data modelling to the liberal party in Canada (the current majority federal government) during elections, and they refused his proposal. he should not be considered a whistle blower, because he architected and shopped this unethical model before arriving at Cambridge Analytica.

[@urbantoneswag47]

Keep Left...and you can connect the dots.

[@dennissalisbury496]

Excellent presentation, well-spoken, lots of interesting concepts explained, Hybrid weapons that are intended to hurt/harm someone, targeting informational asymmetry, target profiles observed acting in concert, the cultural zeitgeist, knowing something means it can be recreated by experiment, Feynman versus Tesla, fashion is powerful (clothing), 87 million Facebook users were harvested, Wrangler versus Abercrombie Fashion Brands TV shows seeing the world as matrices, Facebook knew and did nothing, blackballed tried to sue and intimidate Wylie typical criminal organized crime actions,

[@testtest2015]

can you somewhere find the data tables they showed?

[@mscheezburger]

He makes some good points but hearing a melodramatic tennis ball call himself Icarus really distracts me from the argument

[@11kindpunk11]

he spoke volumes to me. although its a talk not comprehensible for everyone. he's a pretty good presenter, his personality shines through. i died when he spoke of his neon hair and grindr tho! would love to follow him. :/

[@Travelingwithabbc]

The Sound was so horrible, I wondered if your editor forgot to renew the contract with the volume button?

[@talisbritt6789]

This video is just about inaudible. Did you blow your budget on uploading it for free?

[@ayati526]

I wonder if the ideology he concluded with is his motivator for us seeing shitty Shein/TikTok ripoff clothing in H&M stores these days

[@creativecomplexity4]

Can you post the other speakers?

[@teretbantine]

What the hell is he talking about?

[@YounesLounes]

LOL This guy extremely smart

[@danielhutchinson6604]

He is attempting to explain how Bob and Bekkah Mercer became the new boss of the GOP..... He is making the use of computers to influnce election, seem credible. He does not need to tell us it works, that seems to have been demonstrated by Trump and Brexit....

[@BaylouCantDecideOnHowToDie]

Wonder to what extent Russia is cyber warfare and tactics like those
