Execs from firm at heart of Facebook data breach say they used ‘unattributable and untrackable’ ads, according to undercover expose
Senior executives from the firm at the heart of Facebook’s data breach boasted of playing a key role in bringing Donald Trump to power and said they used “unattributable and untrackable” advertising to support their clients in elections, according to an undercover expose.
In secretly recorded conversations, Cambridge Analytica’s CEO, Alexander Nix, claimed he had met Trump “many times”, while another senior member of staff said the firm was behind the “defeat crooked Hillary” advertising campaign
“We just put information into the bloodstream of the internet and then watch it grow, give it a little push every now and again over time to watch it take shape,” said the executive. “And so this stuff infiltrates the online community, but with no branding, so it’s unattributable, untrackable.”
Throughout the campaign Donald Trump made audacious claims that not only was the election being rigged against him, that the Democratic primary had also been skewed in the favour of Hillary Clinton. What he never disclosed was a coordinated campaign to suppress the votes of women and minorities. Remember; Under the American system it's possible (This has happened twice in less than 20 years.) to win the presidential election without winning the popular vote. One simply needs 270 Electoral College votes to win and Donald Trump managed that by winning in 3 crucial by 70,000 votes.
Trump's also used elmails taken from the Democratic National Committee incoordination with Wikileaks to place a question of trust worthiness about Hillary Clinton into voters minds. Never mind they that some those emails were edited in such a manner to change what they were originally about.
