Brittany Kaiser:
“Through all of the behavioral, clinical, and experimental psychology that Cambridge Analytica brought into our modeling infrastructure, we found that there are around like 32 different personality types.
And people that are very high in neuroticism respond to fear-based messaging.
Neuroticism means you're a bit emotionally unstable and you can be triggered quite easily.
[At Cambridge Analytica] we had a team of psychologists that were working with the data scientists on how to measure it, using large scale qualitative and quantitative testing.
And so the “Defeat Crooked Hillary” campaign, which was run by the Make America Number One super PAC,
after seeing how successful sending fear-based messaging to neurotics was, they only sent fear-based messaging to people measured to have high amounts of neuroticism for the entirety of the campaign. (…)
Some of the ones that were for the open-minded and extroverted individuals showed families playing out in the sunshine, bright waving American flags, lush green hills, hope for the future of America.
And then you saw the ad that was cut for neurotics. It was dark, nearly black, really dark images of some of the most iconic buildings in America with surrender flags waving on them.
Then it has really ominous music, and it stops to a black screen, and says: 'America has never surrendered. We're not going to start now.’
When I used to show that video in meetings, people would say: ‘Hey, I remember that, I saw that on my laptop.’ It really stuck with the people that were targeted by it.”
Tristan Harris:
“What's amazing to me is that the speaker, in this case the Trump advertising team, is saying two completely different messages to different audiences. It's the same speaker. (…)”
Aza Raskin:
“These [Facebook] campaigns are whispering different messages into each person's ear.
Is it any surprise that we end up with societal incoherence, inability to agree on truth? Everyone's hearing a different message.
'Micro targeting’ is a little bit of an unfortunate phrase because it sounds so small. But really this is human targeting.
This is like taking the world's largest supercomputers armed with enough data that the algorithms can make better predictions about you than your colleagues, your spouse, and sometimes even yourself.
Finding the right brains to target and then selling the bullets to whoever the highest bidder is.”

Fresh Cambridge Analytica leak ‘shows global manipulation is out of control’
Company’s work in 68 countries laid bare with release of more than 100,000 documents
An explosive leak of tens of thousands of documents from the defunct data firm Cambridge Analytica is set to expose the inner workings of the company that collapsed after the Observer revealed it had misappropriated 87 million Facebook profiles.
More than 100,000 documents relating to work in 68 countries that will lay bare the global infrastructure of an operation used to manipulate voters on “an industrial scale” are set to be released over the next months.
It comes as Christopher Steele, the ex-head of MI6’s Russia desk and the intelligence expert behind the so-called “Steele dossier” into Trump’s relationship with Russia, said that while the company had closed down, the failure to properly punish bad actors meant that the prospects for manipulation of the US election this year were even worse.
The release of documents began on New Year’s Day on an anonymous Twitter account, @HindsightFiles, with links to material on elections in Malaysia, Kenya and Brazil. The documents were revealed to have come from Brittany Kaiser, an ex-Cambridge Analytica employee turned whistleblower, and to be the same ones subpoenaed by Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Kaiser, who starred in the Oscar-shortlisted Netflix documentary The Great Hack, decided to go public after last month’s election in Britain. “It’s so abundantly clear our electoral systems are wide open to abuse,” she said. “I’m very fearful about what is going to happen in the US election later this year, and I think one of the few ways of protecting ourselves is to get as much information out there as possible.”

Mark Zuckerberg has been attending law proceedings for the Cambridge Analytica case. It is being said that more than 87 million people's data was gathered by Cambridge Analytica via Facebook. Brittany Kaiser had spoken about the Cambridge Analytica process of extracting data in front of the press committee. She said that “Cambridge Analytica had a suite …
Wait.. so Brittany's last name is Kaiser and Heather's last name is also Kaiser..
Could Brittany and Heather be related? 🤔
HEY BRITTANY, I HEARD YOUR SISTER'S GOING OUT WITH SQUEAK!

I have more than enough practice at traveling to the other side of the Atlantic, but this week’s trip to Lisbon for Web Summit had me sandbagged by jet lag almost every night. It appears that I never got my head into Western European Time, to judge from my not feeling wiped out in a “do not operate heavy machinery” way after I got home Friday night. 11/11/2024: Boost Mobile Touts 5G Network…
