Meet the American Professor Suing Cambridge Analytica for His Psychographic Profile

[@miv6770]

For information: Actually, there is a data protection law in the United Kingdom SIMPLY BECAUSE the UK, as a member of the European Union, had to transpose the European Union legislation. Great job, European Union!!!

In Europe, an individual's personally identifiable information (PII) is inseparable from that person. Digital privacy is a right. According to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) there, an individual has the right to know what PII is captured, how it is used, by whom, to deny access at any time, be forgotten, and cannot be denied services based on PII restrictions. In other words, you cannot be coerced to sign away your rights to privacy in order to get service. What a fantastic approach! In my opinion, the US needs its own GDPR.

What a great idea. I hope he wins.

[@coreycox2345]

Fake news. Fake news.

[@rollling7523]

No no, not all bots are fake.

[@coreycox2345]

I know that, Rolling. I wish I knew the details of what was done.

[@rollling7523]

Trolling the tubes is done by all sites, not only by Trump side.

[@DougGrinbergs]

Key point: access to Facebook's "shadow profile" of us

[@thorthethundergodmjolnirst3341]

T.G.I.F.democracy now/everyone.

[@zorroinhell5549]

I think he makes a good point regarding why did Facebook allow this? It kind of makes you wonder weather Trump was supposed to win all along, because of the foreign policy being implemented right now?

[@justinwilliams7324]

Zorro in Hell I am wondering whether Cambridge Analytical has Blackmail on Mark Zuckerberg and many of the Senators in Congress but we'll see.

[@thinkabout288]

u nailed it, Rubellite

[@dejayrezme8617]

It's hilarious that social network insists on people using their real name to avoid... abuse? Frankly it's disgusting. Social media needs to be socialized. These are things we need to become a more enlightened society so the people managing and developing these tools need to be independent from the profit motive of collecting data.

[@Kombo-Chapfika]

Good idea. Folks should sue these dodgy companies until non-consensual psychographic profiling becomes unprofitable.

[@moto2kx2]

That shadow data is at the NSA/farcebook.

[@tapolna]

Cute 10:35 : "Well, David Carroll are still on Facebook?" "Yee .. ah," David replied hesitantly

[@planecrashcorner7283]

Can I sign on to this? How do I know if they have a psych profile on me?

[@EANNE1000]

I think the point everyone is possibly missing is that Facebook should not be forever free. To me, online forums are either a give and take ... meaning you give out what you take in ... OR ... they are a commodity like a newspapers or magazines where you pay for the valuable and entertaining content that you are receiving. That, I will happily tell everyone, is how I have long perceived and approached these ever since when I joined and participated in Composers' Forum. I am quite happy to pay for a commodity that brings me excellent, interactive value. HOWEVER, this is predicated upon TRUST, meaning that personal information is never divulged to the wrong people, third-party companies and government institutions, etc.!!

[@charlesbrightman4237]

Once just one single AI gets access to just one of these huge data bases in this world, (and not just NSA's), no human will be safe, not even those who built and set up the AI's and data bases. And we did it to ourselves.

[@Tubulous123]

Yes!!! Thank you!!!

[@leifharmsen]

I'd join the suit except Facebook's privacy policy isn't worth the virtual page on which it's written on so I don't subscribe. It's not your profile on Facebook, it's Facebook's profile on you. Time to ditch so called social media, grow up, and get our own websites at our own domains.

[@GrimLocke161]

We’ve just made the advertising devilry more complicated since Edward Bernays’ days.

[@tertiary7]

Bernays is clicking his heels somewhere in hell.

[@veilhaslifted1280]

We need a class action lawsuit against Google also.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

The Post Office here in the USA is taking pictures of EVERYBODY'S letter sized mail pieces, per the Post Office. WHY? When taking pictures of people's mail is not necessary for the processing and delivering of the US mail and cost real money to do. And what else is occurring with those pictures, and WHY????????

[@PHlophe]

Charles is this for real. this scares me , and they probably demand id to send letters too. over here in the uk i can't buy a laptop without giving personal details , this bothers me a lot

[@charlesbrightman4237]

Lechiffresix six a. This past winter I receive in the US Mail a brochure from the Post Office as a holiday guide. KUDOS to the Post Office for doing so. BUT, on the next to last page of the brochure there is a page titled "See What's Coming in the Mail, from Your Email." Apparently a person could go to their 'usps.com/guide' web page and freely sign up for this service. The person would get daily email notification with images of their actual letter sized mail pieces. b. In addition, this past month as I was in the local Post Office they had signs behind the counter concerning the signing up for this 'service' as well as brochures in the customer area that was titled "If it's in the mail, it's in your email". A person could go to 'usps.com/getinformed' to learn more and sign up for 'free'. This brochure says you can preview mail and manage packages scheduled to arrive soon. This brochure even says that any device could be utilized and one could download the free mobile app for various smartphones and tablets listed in the brochure. c. In a conversation with another individual this past month here on KZbin, he mentioned that he utilizes this service. So, 3 different sources that says it's for real. Now normally, this would not be a problem and on the surface sounds like a nice service, and it's free too. That's what businesses do to suck people in. In this case though, in the larger context of what the NSA is doing to it's own fellow citizens in violation of their constitutional rights, it just adds to more data points that the NSA is utilizing to build profiles of all the people in this world that they can. Cambridge Analytica supposedly had 4000 - 5000 data points to do their thing. NSA would also have facial and voice recognition, DNA, fingerprints, etc, and now actual pictures of people's mail too, even if it's mail entirely sent and received within the USA of legally abiding fellow American citizens. For a lawyer or doctor, their client privileges might even be getting violated because now the Post Office would have photographic records of their patients/clients, how often they write back and forth, from where and to, size of letters/packages, etc. A lot can be told from meta data alone, that's why the government and businesses utilize it. And most of us know, the NSA is not just collecting meta data alone. In addition to violation of American citizen's constitutional rights and possibly doctor/lawyer client violations, what is going to happen when just 1 single AI gets access to the NSA's or other nation's or organization's huge data base? No human is going to be safe, not even those who built and set up the AI's and data bases. Can anybody say, "Dumb asses we all are?" So, you are right to be scared. BUT, what are we all going to do about it???

[@sharonsnow6295]

I have known this for months, they are not saying that Mercer's branch of Cambridge Analytica brags about having the personal info on 220 million people, dwarfing Britain's Cambridge Analytica's claiming info on 50 million people!!

[@greenpeace4246]

The Russian interference is overrated compared to this.

[@phera5713]

Green Peace no, actually it's not.... It's all connected.

[@jesus4602]

Go read the comments on CNN videos about this and you'll see people straight up blaming this on Russia.

[@jesus4602]

P Hera No it's not, Russia hasn't done anything.

[@geesharkey7521]

Jesus, All these centuries, still peddling BS !!

[@charlesbrightman4237]

Can some entity please find out and post the 4000 - 5000 data points that Cambridge Analytica supposedly utilized?

[@theinterfaithshepherd9075]

Yes, please share and update how to join the class action lawsuit. I am more than willing to donate to the cause to show big business to keep their damn fingers off my data and not attempt to influence me by using my own private profile data against me, my friends, and loved ones.

[@sunyellow703]

Facebook and Cambridge Analytica should be paying each user for all the information they mine behind people's back! There definitely should be regulation! It's backhanded profeteering. I'm surprised they aren't getting sued by more people.

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

Jimmy Dore and Lee Camp were drawing attention to this over a year ago. Where was the media then?

[@katnisrevolution1727]

Thank you. Very informative. BASICLY WE SHOULD VOTE FOR POLITIANS USING FACEBOOK DIRECTLY. PROBLEM SOLVED

[@hermenutic]

Glad someone is fighting back. This kind of activity absolutely must be stopped. If no longer using the product is the only way to stop it...oh well good bye cash cow.

This will be fun !

[@ritamariekelley6943]

My data request was ignored...grrrrrrr!

[@Omgirrl]

But even if one elects to opt out of data sharing/harvesting/distribution, how can we trust these firms? Is it now an issue of regulation? Is net neutrality, or the lack thereof, a factor here?

[@jeffbrunton3291]

The key legal issue for the Trump campaign is not the Data but thet fact that foreign nationals were working in the US on election

[@jillylove101]

What’s the statute of limitations? Can Obama be sued? FB, THE DNC, GOOGLE?No one asks....😬

[@HRPFayetteville]

Omg seriously the permission is in the terms of every app u download

[@Achrononmaster]

I do not think much of that professor who still uses Facebook. There is no reason on Earth for anyone to be using Facebook. PLUS: Your shadow profile is what you give Facebook, so everyone already knows their profile and should not be surprised that Facebook keeps it on database. How dopey to think otherwise. I warn all my students that what they do online is essentially (or potentially) open to the public, because Internet security simply sucks. What is missing with online social media platforms is a feedback loop that allows users to regulate their service provider. We do not need government regulation, we just need to better empower communities of users to bring down Facebook if they feel they are being mistreated. So yeah... #DeleteFacebook think about it... do you really need Facebook in your life? ("Need" not "want" or "desire".)

[@rewtnode]

Ironical. The dems did it, and “progressive” Zuckerberg looked on with a mild smile. Then the empire struck back. That’s what happens if politics is a matter of brands and “the marketplace of ideas” is an actual market.

[@f.puttstycker2784]

Education! Crating a commercial free internet is my opinion. PIZ like PBS "Public Internet Zone". Just an 💡(idea).

[@Doppe1ganger]

I don't see what the point is suing Cambridge Analytica. Facebook allows these things to happen. It's their responsibility to protect user data. Why not sue facebook?

[@winger468]

Awww he is sorry.....

[@SonicPhonic]

Trolls who don't watch the video should be ignored; it is stated in the video that the tools used by Cambridge Analytica and the Trump campaign were not available when Obama was twice elected without the assistance of Russia.

[@tyrannicalbigtech5842]

Michael Gfroerer did you not here the woman? She said that facebook colluded with Obama and gave only them the data

Hard to believe FB did not develop these tools prior the Obama’s second term.
