All language subtitles for The Great Hack

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY

SOMEWHERE IN NEVADA

Ms. Kaiser, you went from
from being an idealistic intern

of Barack Obama's campaign

to work for an organization
with undesirable people.

Didn't that make you uncomfortable?

He said he had
two different business cards.

Who did you work for?

Don't take this the wrong way.

Have you ever in your life worked...

...or gave information
to any state intelligence agency?

NEW YORK

Hello, a short coffee, please.

- That's $2.25.
- Cool.

Good.

Who has seen an advertisement

that has made you think

that your microphone
is listening to your conversations?

It is hard for us to imagine how it works,

but what happens
is that their behavior

is almost exactly predictable.

Advertisements that seem
incredibly accurate,

that make us think we are being spied on,

are very likely to be proof of

that the targeting works,

and predicts our behavior.

Maybe it's because the Internet
was a reality for me since I was a child,

but the ads don't bother me that much.

When do they affect us?

This is an express train to Brooklyn.

Next station: Canal Street.

It all started with the dream
of a connected world.

A space where experiences could be shared
experiences

and feel less lonely.

Thanks for the good wishes!

In a short time, the world
became our matchmaker...

...information verifier,
personal entertainer,

custodian of our memories
and even our psychologist.

I taught Digital Media
and Application Development.

Did you know that the data
of what we do on the Internet

did not vanish.

And the more I looked into it,
the more I realized...

...that these digital traces of ours

are exploited by a billion-dollar-a-year
billion dollar a year industry.

We are now the product.

But we were so fascinated

with the benefits
of this free connectivity

that no one bothered to read the terms and
the terms and conditions.

All my interactions,

uses of credit cards,
Internet searches,

the places where I am, my "likes"...

...all are recorded in real time
and related to my identity,

thus providing the acquirer with direct access to my
direct access to my emotional impulse.

Armed with this knowledge,
they compete for my attention.

They provide me with
a constant flow of content

made especially for me
that only I can see.

And this happens with each one of us.

My tastes...

...my fears...

...my interests...

...what my limits are
and what it takes to overcome them.

Return to Washington.

Corrupt Hillary lies a lot.

The stock market will crash.
There will be a civil war.

We witness the aftermath
of our filtered reality

in the 2016 elections.

...was not offended
when Donald Trump said it.

Go fuck yourselves!

The real world became
a highly divided zone of destruction.

Fuck those beaners!
Build the wall!

How did the dream of a connected world
of a connected world drove us apart?

My daughter is eight years old and my son is four.

I analyze each application
before installing it and...

I am the parent who reads
the privacy policy and says:

"No. See this? They read your messages.

Is that okay with you?"

That's my new way
of annoying my children.

- Hello.
- Hello

I have been concerned for a long time

that the misuse
of our data and information

may affect my children's future.

But it was only with the 2016 elections
I became aware

that it had already happened to us
in charge.

It was a sensation...

...to experience
the worst of technology.

I became obsessed looking for answers.

And the question I was asking myself was:

who instilled fear in us and how?

This was the Alamo Project,
for which it was carried out

Trump's digital campaign.

In the middle of the Alamo Project,

spent a million dollars a day

for Facebook ads.

We had people from Facebook,
YouTube and Google

and met here.

Basically, they were our collaborators

in terms of using the platform
as effectively as possible.

But we also learned

that a company called Cambridge Analytica...
called Cambridge Analytica...

...also worked on the Alamo Project.

Cambridge Analytica was here.

This is the data brain.

This was the data center.

"Such and such a state will be the target."

- How did they know?
- Inside that...

That is its secret ingredient.

- Paul-Olivier?
- I'm there.

Let me configure the screen.

I contacted a mathematician in Switzerland

named Paul-Olivier Dehaye.

I have been investigating Cambridge Analytica for more than a year.
that I have been investigating Cambridge Analytica.

I think there is more to discover.

Paul and I understood

that in order to send personalized messages
to people, you need their data.

THE DATA THAT TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
UPSIDE DOWN

And Cambridge Analytica claimed to have
5000 data points

on every U.S. voter.

5,000 data points
on each American.

But it was invisible.

And the question is
how to make the invisible visible.

That is the hardest part.

Paul-Olivier Dehaye had a hypothesis.

And that assumption was that U.S. voter
U.S. voter data

were processed at Cambridge Analytica's
of Cambridge Analytica in Great Britain.

HEAD OFFICE
OF SCL/CAMBRIDE ANALYTICA

If true,

through a British lawyer

I could force them to return my data to me.

The beauty of David's case
is that it summarizes

why data protection is a fundamental right.
is a fundamental right.

LAWYER - DATA PROTECTION

The only thing he wants to know

is what you did.

And if David finds out
the data that his profile hides...

REQUEST FOR PERSONAL DATA

...you begin to connect the dots

With Facebook, Cambridge Analytica,
Trump, Brexit,

and all these loosely connected
loosely connected.

You have to see the beast inside,

the system from the inside.

I am not a robot

I was the chief financial and operations
and operations

of Cambridge Analytica or SCL Group.

If they were to talk to former employees
of Cambridge Analytica,

would tell them the same thing.

It was an environment of great innovation.

Hello, my name is Alexander Nix,

president of Cambridge Analytica,

world leader
in data-driven communications.

From the advertisers of yesteryear
to the mathematicians of today,

data experts whose ideas

can tell you more about the audience
you want to reach and how to reach them.

Alexander Nix had set out to
to create a solid election business.

And then the Obama campaign
campaign used, with great success,

data and digital communications

that opened a market to provide
to provide them with services

to Republican politicians in the U.S.

God bless the great state of Iowa.

Ted Cruz went from being the lowest-ranked
the lowest-ranked candidate in the primaries

to be the last man standing
before Trump was nominated.

Let me first say...

Their success in Iowa is proof positive of our
of our methodology.

...that victory is God's.

CRUZ'S CAMPAIGN ATTRIBUTES ITS SUCCESS TO
TO PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ANALYTICAL DATA

They said Cruz had
an incredible strategy

and now we know whose idea it was.

With me is Alexander Nix,
president of Cambridge Analytica,

the company behind it.

Alexander, it is fascinating to analyze
all the work that is done

in view of the strategy.

Have the other candidates called you?

Well...

Subject: Trump Contract

Do you need me to start
with the contract tomorrow?

It is a privilege for me to speak to you

of the power of big data
and psychographic data.

When Cambridge Analytica
teamed up with the Trump campaign,

we were an attractive proposition.

We spent 14 months working
on the Cruz campaign

and collected a large amount of voter
of voter data and research

that we made available to the Trump
to the Trump team.

By submitting hundreds of thousands of
Americans to this survey...

...we were able to establish a model

where we have about four or five thousand
or five thousand data points

that we can use to predict
the personality of every adult in the country.

Personality conditions behavior.

And behavior influences our vote.

We could address people

with very specific digital content.

Secretary Clinton said the e-mails she sent or received were not secret.
she sent or received were not secret.

- Was it true?
- No, it wasn't.

Our movement will replace

and corrupt political establishment.

And you may wonder why I'm not 50 points ahead of him.
50 points ahead.

Need to ask?

HILLARY CLINTON
EXTREMELY CARELESS

DANGEROUS MYTHOMANIAC

DECISIVE NIGHT IN THE U.S.

A night for history,

Donald Trump's surprise victory over Hillary Clinton
over Hillary Clinton,

contradicting all polls,
analyst and political class once again,

upon his election as President of the United States.

DONALD TRUMP
ELECTED PRESIDENT

Dear Alexander and team:
Congratulations on winning the election!

We are celebrating with you.
Sincerely, SCL/CA Mexico

U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.! U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.!

Thank you.

Thank you very much to all of you.

WOW! WHAT A NIGHT!
THANKS, GUYS. A

If there is one thing we can take away
from this event,

is that all these technologies

can make a big difference

and will remain so for many years to come.

Thank you.

After the election, we were thrilled.

We saw our way to becoming a
a multi-million dollar company.

We were on top of the world.

At least, we thought so.

LONDON

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST
FOR THE GUARDIAN

This is the interesting box.

I was investigating
Cambridge Analytica

and its relation to the Brexit campaign
to leave the European Union.

And I have done it full time,

twelve hours a day,
seven days a week.

I would say that it has become
into an obsession.

It has been exhausting.

When I started to analyze
this whole network of links

between Cambridge Analytica and Brexit...

...I sent an email to Andy Wigmore,

who is a collaborator of Nigel Farage.

And Nigel Ferage is a central figure in the Brexit campaign.
of the Brexit campaign.

THE MAN WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR BREXIT
FOR 20 YEARS

I asked:
"Can we go for coffee?

I am very interested in technology
and campaigns.

And, quite simply, he told me everything.

THE BAD BOYS OF BREXIT CONGRATULATE

TO THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

It was after the investiture.

Andy was showing me the pictures on his cell phone.

"This one is from the investiture."

And: "Very funny.

We had a great time with Donald.

I asked him about the presentation
Cambridge Analytica.

And he said to me, "It's because of Nigel.
He's a friend of Steve Bannon."

Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Bannon.

Steve Bannon was Trump's campaign manager.
Trump's campaign manager.

He is also vice president
of Cambridge Analytica.

He said to me, "There are a couple of billionaires
in the U.S.

We all have the same goal,

and Brexit laid the groundwork for Trump."

For most of my life,
THE U.S. HAS BEEN THE LEADER. For most of my life, the U.S. has been the leader.

POLITICAL PROBREXIT

I would like to think, in my own way,
that what we did with Brexit

was the beginning
of what will end up being

a global revolution

and Trump's victory is part of it.

THE BAD GUYS OF BREXIT
Trump's Inauguration Party

And then he told me many other things:

on the use of artificial intelligence,

of Facebook's data exploration...

And he said, "It's scary, Carole.

It's amazing how much data
there is about people.

They give them to you just like that!

It's scary!"

I moved on.

Brexit work.

I began to track down former Cambridge Anlytica
Cambridge Anlytica employees.

I finally found someone
who wanted to talk to me.

Chris Wylie.

First we talked on the phone,
which was crazy.

The conversation lasted eight hours and...

I'm Christopher Wylie,
data scientist,

and helped set up Cambridge Analytica.

It is incorrect to say
that Cambridge Analytica

is a company that performs scientific analysis
data analysis company or a company that handles algorithms.

It is a full-service
full-service propaganda machine.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

You were an investor in Cambridge Analytica.

- I helped assemble it.
- That's right.

And I gave it that amazing name.

Steve Bannon was an editor at Breitbart.

He is a proponent of the Breitbart doctrine,
which means

that if you want to make profound changes
in society,

first it must be divided.

Only when you divide it,

you can reshape those pieces
to shape a new society.

#BLACKLIVESVALUE
FOSTERS GLOBAL CHAOS

This was the weapon

that Steve Bannon wanted to build
to wage his culture war.

And we built it for them.

I needed to find a way to
to gather data

and for that I turned to professors
from the University of Cambridge

and asked for their opinion.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
PROFESSOR ALEKSANDER KOGAN

ONE CLICK PERSONALITY TEST

"THIS YOUR DIGITAL LIFE"
RECEIVE YOUR PUBLIC PROFILE

Kogan offered us applications
on Facebook with special permissions...

...to collect data from people using or downloading the application...
who were using or downloading the application...

...and also access
to your entire network of contacts

to obtain data from your friends as well.

If they had friends
who used the application,

Today, after battling leukemia, my father passed away,

We would take the status updates,
the "likes",

and sometimes private messages.

It was not only the voters who were our target

but also his personality.

Just by touching several hundred thousand
of people

a psychological profile is built

of every voter in the entire U.S.

Didn't people know
that their data was being manipulated like this?

No.

They didn't even think about
that it was personal information

and that they were manipulating it
in a way that was incomprehensible to them?

No.

In history, there are many examples
of highly unethical experiments.

And this one was like that?

I think so,
it was a very unethical experiment.

You are playing with the psychology
of an entire country

without their consent
and without their knowledge.

And not only is the psychology of an entire nation
the psychology of an entire nation,

but with that of an entire country
within a democratic process.

Everything began to become known.

Now we weren't just threatening
to do things, we were doing them.

- We are ready.
- One, two, three...

And now we continue with the scandal

Cambridge Analytica,
a company that profiles voters.

David Carroll filed a lawsuit
in Great Britain

requesting that Cambridge Analytica
Cambridge Analytica

to hand over all the data
they collected about him.

Tell us what you are requesting.

Complete information...

...where they got our data,

how they processed them,
with whom they shared them,

and whether we can be excluded.

Cambridge Analytica claims to have
5000 data points

on millions of people.

It is true.

When people see the extent
of surveillance,

I think you will be impressed.

We do not work with Facebook data
nor do we have their data.

We use Facebook
as a platform for advertising.

Mr. Nix, Channel 4 News.

- Did you lie to Parliament about Facebook?
- Of course he didn't.

It's crazy that I have to engage,
for a whole year...

a risky legal action in another country

to obtain my voter profile.

David, don't stop, don't give in.

- Go ahead.
- I will. Don't worry.

Do not sleep.

Facebook was down 6.35%.

That's $120 billion.
That's a lot.

Officials of the Office of the Information Commissioner

They are inside checking computers,

searching for documents.

Facebook knew about the data collection
for two years,

but only went public three days ago

Really, Facebook?

Didn't they say they breached data

Wish Rex a happy birthday!

You are up against a giant,

to the Goliath of big data marketing.

What are your hopes of winning?

People do not admit
that propaganda works.

Because recognizing it means facing
our own susceptibility,

an appalling lack of privacy,

and an irremediable dependence

on the platforms that ruin our democracies
our democracies on several fronts.

Join us in our fight

It doesn't matter. If you cheated,
you lose the medal, right? Because...

...if we allow cheating

what will happen next time and the next time?

You should not win by cheating.

Many, like me, will say....

Why did you decide to report the fact

It is a process of coming to terms with

I feel great remorse
for helping to set it up.

Attention has been focused
on me because I have transformed...

I am no longer interested in supporting

BANG!

Brittany Kaiser, who was a key player
within Cambridge Analytica,

presented himself as an informant.

Until three weeks ago, Brittany Kaiser,
senior executive, held the key to

Steve Bannon's home in Washington.

He spoke at CPAC in 2016
along with Kellyanne Conway,

was at Trump's victory party

His curriculum is curious

Ms. Kaiser was also involved.

Brittany Kaiser, had enough of the lies.

She is not an informant.

- What he raises is interesting.
- Why is she speaking now?

He only spoke in part.

He's talking to researchers
and then you'll get the full picture...

If Brittany Kaiser talks, it all blows up.

SOMEWHERE IN THAILAND

I have proof

that the Brexit and Trump campaigns
and the Trump campaign

may have been carried out illegally.

And, for my safety,
I don't want geolocation of where I am.

I am...

FORMER BUSINESS DIRECTOR

...who attempts to overthrow two governments

and the world's most powerful companies.

All at the same time.

With a somewhat fragmented story,
but hopefully it will soon be perfect.

The wealthiest companies

Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla.

And these companies
are the most powerful in the world

because, last year, the value of data

Data is the world's most valuable

And these companies are worth a lot

because they have been exploiting

One of my friends contacted me

to ask me if I would be satisfied

with the way history would tell my side of the story.

And I thought, "No.

Do you work for both parties?

No, only for U.S. Republicans

And your inbox and your hard drive

are a veritable treasure trove
of very superficial information.

We are just scratching the surface.

Tell us about your first meeting
at Trump Tower.

November 2015,

I went with Alexander Nix to see
Corey Lewandowski

who was the campaign manager.

I asked Corey why the place
looked familiar.

He replied:
"It's the set of The Apprentice.

That's why it should be familiar to you."

I was shocked, you know?

Trump's campaign headquarters
was a television set.

Yes, that's right.

The idea of a company

which conducted a large-scale analysis
of a population

and then identified
the triggers that would cause people to

to move from one state to another state,

seems to oppose the feeling of autonomy
of autonomy and freedom of the individual....

...and to the idea of democracy.

Right?

I don't know. I would question that.

The strategy is aimed at

to identify those who still consider
who still consider

- different options...
- Yes.

...and make them aware
about the options that exist

and, if they are undecided,

can be convinced of one or
of one option or the other.

- Yes.
- I repeat, they choose, but....

- Do they really choose?
- ...are people who...

Ultimately, they are the ones who will go
to the polls and will decide.

I ask Brittany Kaiser all this.

- I know.
- You do?

I'm not asking you as part of
of Cambridge Analytica or SCL

because you no longer belong there.

Yes, I understand.

Do you think Cambridge Analytica

in any way contravened human rights?
human rights?

No.

But, I repeat, the more I listen,
the more I question things.

Before that, I spent my career
working for human rights.

Good.

Let's go back to that.

It wasn't that long ago. It was a decade ago.

- It wasn't that long ago.
- It wasn't that long ago.

March 31, 2006

I worked in elections
since I was 14 or 15 years old.

I told my cousin that I had applied
to be an intern on the Obama campaign.

He replied:
"If you don't get the internship, I die."

He was part of the team
that managed Obama's Facebook.

We invented how social networks
communicate with voters.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I then worked for several years
in human rights

and international relations.

First for Amnesty International

and then lobbying at the UN
in the European Parliament.

GREETINGS FROM THE BEECH

I used to say that I liked to campaign
for human rights,

but sometimes I feel like I'm hitting
against a wall

because I don't see the results
of what I do.

I don't know if I'm wasting my time.

That's where I was when I met
Alexander Nix.

Mutual friends
came up with the idea of introducing us to each other.

He was very interested in my experience
with the Democrats.

He handed me his card and said:

"I'll get you drunk
to steal your secrets."

And, in December 2014,
offered me a job.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
GUEST

Crossing paths with a company
where I would see my influence

I was very excited about it.

I became a little more conservative
or refined

in terms of my dress
or my vocabulary,

and in terms of doing things
like going shooting on the weekends

and the like.

They were very different things
from what I usually did.

It must have been quite an adventure.

It was very interesting.

With my cowboy boots,

I got into character,

So it wasn't just a costume, was it?
You felt important.

It was important. It is important.

I think the main problem with U.S.
of U.S. policy

is that people are so polarized
that they don't understand each other,

that's why they can't work together
and nothing gets done.

I am about to draft some questions for a senator

at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing

"How much of Facebook's revenue

comes directly from monetization

of users' personal data?".

All.

Exactly.

The reality is that Facebook knows about this

more than anyone else in the world

because Facebook is the best platform
to experiment.

That's right.

It always gives you
the best interaction rates.

We spend the most money

of any commercial or political
or political campaign on Facebook.

It takes almost the entire budget.

- That's right.
- Yes.

There is the possibility
that the U.S. public

and other countries
has been the subject of experiments.

Remember the Facebook tests
we used

to form personality patterns
of U.S. voters?

The truth is that not every voter
was our target equally.

Almost all of our resources

were intended for those whose minds
whose minds we could change.

We call them "persuadable".

They are all over the country,

but the persuadables that mattered most
were in the undecided states

such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida.
and Florida.

Each of these states
were divided into districts.

You can say there are 22,000 persuadable
persuadable voters in this district...

...and if there are enough persuadable
persuasible in the right districts,

those states would turn red
instead of blue.

Our team of creatives
designed custom content

to activate these individuals.

Terrorists love
permeable borders.

Deficiencies in border
in border security allow them to...

We bombard them with blogs,
website notes, videos, advertisements...

Every conceivable platform.

Until they saw the world
the way we wanted.

Until they voted for our candidate.

It is like a boomerang.

THE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA THING
QUESTIONS THIS DEMOCRACY

DOCUMENT LINKS MILLIONAIRES TO BREXIT CAMPAIGNS?
TO BREXIT CAMPAIGNS?

The first time I wrote
about Cambridge Analytica

was in December 2016.

I said they had worked
for the Trump and Brexit campaigns.

I started receiving letters
from them saying:

"We don't work
in the Leave campaign.

CA did no paid or pro bono work for
or free work for Leave.EU

It was puzzling
because on the Leave.EU website

It said, "We hired Cambridge Analytica."

Alexander Nix stated how they worked
for the Leave campaign.

Yes, I'm afraid we didn't talk about
about that campaign. Not at all.

Did you talk about it or not?

No, we did not talk about it.

- Good.
- Yes.

And that's when I discovered a video

of the press launch of Leave.EU.
of Leave.EU.

And I said:
"Look, there's Brittany Kaiser!

He works for Cambridge Analytica.

He is at the press presentation

talking about all things ingenious

what they will do with the data
for the Leave campaign.

What the fuck is that?

How can you keep denying it?
It's crazy.

And at the same time
Leave EU published

horrible videos about me.

I want to get off!

There was a parody
of And Where's the Pilot?

- Don't worry!
- I'll take care of it.

Everyone would go and tell her
not to be hysterical.

And they beat her.

Sit down. I'll take care of it.

They said, "Easy, easy."

A line of people formed
and the last one had a gun.

All this was happening

to the rhythm of the Russian National Anthem.

The day after they launched
the video of Leave.EU,

the director of another news agency
for whom he was going to do a report

he told me at lunch:

"I think it's very risky
for you to file the report."

@carolecadwalla is doing poorly
as the Russian conspiracy intensifies!

One gets used to living
with so much misinformation

and this propaganda absolutely every day.

And to feel its effects
and know that it works,

and that it influences reality
whether people believe it or not.

I am used to writing notes.

You write it and then move on
with another topic.

I write articles and that's what I did.
But I said to myself, "They lied.

They lied about something that is huge.

Because, well, it's...

the rest of the country's future.

- What do you think, Nigel?
- Nigel!

THE EU FAILED US ALL

In the referendum, almost everyone had
defined points of view.

But there was a small group of people
who didn't.

They were the persuadable ones.

It was all a matter of finding
these few people

and bombard them with ads.

This was invisible to us.

Let June 23 go down in history as our Independence Day.
as our Independence Day.

The British people have spoken
and the answer is: "We're out".

For better or worse,

this decision will define
our future policy.

Realize that this great country
has made a grave mistake.

It is an earthquake.

What happens after an earthquake?
We will see.

People disagreed
about the meaning of "Leave".

- Simple: leave. Period.
- Leave had no manifesto.

But "there is no such thing as leaving, period".

Brexit! Brexit!

LONDON

For your safety,

parents are not allowed to carry children
in the luggage trolleys

or let them play
on escalators

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.

That's it, it's over.

I managed to enter the United Kingdom
without any problems,

which is fantastic.

I want you to be mentally strong
in this,

because what you do is huge.

I know.

And I still fear for your life,

because of the powerful people involved.

Yes, I know.

You must take care of yourself all the time.

I know, but I can't keep quiet
because it angers the powerful.

Yes, I know.

I understand this perfectly.

Someone has to bring down
those assholes down.

Exactly.

Well, it doesn't matter.

When I have time next month,

I have to go pay for electricity and gas.

Now I don't have $1,000.
I have to wait.

I can pay for it.

Don't worry. I don't need them now.

Okay, sweetheart, take care.

- I love you.
- Take care of yourself. I love you.

- I love you. Bye-bye, sweetheart.
- Bye, sweetheart.

Glad to be back,

but I don't think I can show myself
in public much.

The last time I left,

I was in a very difficult situation
with several of my friends.

- Fire exit one?
- Yes.

Many were angry
because he worked for the Brexit campaign

and because he was still working for a company

who supported the likes of Ted Cruz
and Donald Trump.

And there is still a group of people
who do not know

whether I am doing the right thing
or if I do it to protect myself.

More news about Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg will testify in Congress
tomorrow and Wednesday.

This morning he announced measures
to avoid obstacles in the voting...

It's today's Financial Times.

My name is on the front page.

Shit.

Here it is.

"Zuckerberg to be questioned
in Congress.

Recognize that the social network
did not do enough

to prevent their tools from being used to
from being used to harm".

"Facebook should pay its 2 billion users for their data.
its 2 billion users for their data.

Large technology companies
are transformed into digital kleptocracies.

Yesterday...".

I don't see any paragraph that says...

"I helped build this monster....

...that...

I hope Facebook will serve as a model

...wreaked havoc on the world
and it will take decades to recover from it...

and I'm very, very sorry about all that.
I don't see it here.

The data war has begun.

MARK ZUCKERBERG, FACEBOOK CEO
ABOUT USER DATA,

SENATE COMMITTEES ON JUDICIARY AND COMMERCE
OF THE SENATE

This company is a superstate,

and the only nation with jurisdiction
over it is ours.

The Judiciary and Commerce Commissions,
Science and Transportation

open the session.

Chairman Grassley and members of the
members of the committee.

My priority has always been
the social mission of connecting people,

to form a community
and bring the world closer together.

We didn't do enough to prevent
to prevent these tools from

be used to harm.

Before talking about the measures to
to solve it,

I will talk about how we got here.

When we contacted
with Cambridge Analytica,

we were told that the data had been deleted.
the data.

A month ago, new reports indicated
that this was not true.

We are getting to the bottom
of what Cambridge Analytica did.

Come on, blame me, Mark.

...to solve it
and prevent it from happening again.

Thank you very much for seeing me.
I will be happy to answer your questions.

Well, Mr. Zuckerberg.

During the 2016 campaign,

Cambridge Analytica
worked with the Trump campaign

to refine Project Alamo tactics
of the Alamo Project.

Were Facebook employees involved?
Facebook employees?

Senator, our employees
did not work with Cambridge Analytica.

Of course it is.

My goodness.

The Republican team in Washington did.
I met with them.

Although I know we collaborated
with the Trump campaign

with sales assistance
as with other campaigns.

So they could have participated and worked
and worked during that time?

You may be able to establish this
in your research.

Senator, my staff will
will be in touch with you

to give you details
that I cannot give you today.

Oh, my God. That's what the hearing is for...

- ...do you know what I mean?
- No, I don't.

Good.

Do you consider the 87 million users
are victims?

Senator, I think...

Yes, they did not want their information

was sold to Cambridge Analytica
by a developer. Y...

...is what happened.

It happened in spite of our control.

It wasn't us, though.

It is our responsibility to prevent it
and take prompt action.

One of the measures to be taken

is to conduct an audit of Cambridge Analytica's
of Cambridge Analytica's systems

to understand what they do,
if they still have data...

Obviously, Facebook's reputation
has been damaged

by partnering with Cambridge Analytica.

...process by which
Cambridge Analytica...

...refers to Cambridge Analytica....

Recent stories about
about Cambridge Analytica

and data extraction...

Look how many people are posting
about Zuckerberg...

- Everyone is watching.
- Oh, my goodness.

All this says...

Cambridge...

I never imagined Cambridge Analytica
would become famous.

I learned many things from that moment.

I learned that in the face of a communication
communication crisis,

it is not necessary to hire
a company specialized in it.

We talked to...

...many crisis management companies
communication companies that listened to us,

evaluated it and then told us:

"Sorry, but we don't want
to be associated with your brand.

And I thought that's what they were there for.

It became impossible for us to express ourselves.

We have convened
this press conference

to address some unfounded accusations
some unfounded accusations

and to the flood of inaccurate speculations and
and riddled with misinformation.

The company has been described
in certain areas as if it were

a Bond villain.

Cambridge Analytica is not a villain.

Do you believe that what was done was illegal?

We believe that it may be
under British law

and that is what we question.

We have a statement
from Cambridge Analytica.

Cambridge said:

"David Carroll has the same right
to raise this petition

than a Taliban inside a cave in Afghanistan.
in Afghanistan.

It came like a tsunami.

There were 35,000 stories a day in the media.

THE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA SCAM

They wanted to discredit Trump.

They wanted to discredit Brexit.

And we were the means to do it.

Do you feel you have manipulated democracy?

By providing services to a candidate
who would have been fairly nominated

as a Republican U.S. Representative?
U.S. Representative?

How is this possible?

Cambridge Analytica became responsible

of many of the bad things
that were happening in the world.

THE PRESIDENT OF CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA
LOVES TWO THINGS:

EXPENSIVE CEILING CHANDELIERS
AND RUIN THE WORLD

Are you saying
Cambridge Analytica is lying?

They intentionally misrepresent the truth.

What evidence do you have?

I was there.

Chris Wylie spoke with great authority

about what had happened
at Cambridge Analytica and SCL

in 2015 and 2016,

years in which he was never there.

He had worked for the company
for nine months, left in 2014.

He then presented his services
for the Trump campaign

and we earned it.

Chris Wylie set out to
to ruin the company.

What about Brittany?

I don't know what Brittany was doing.

Brittany was a person who

I considered her a friend.
Alexander considered her a friend.

But well...

...when the world turns
upside down...

...people behave in different
in different ways.

Maybe they don't even understand

why they do what they do.

I strongly recommend
preparing the declarations.

Let's review the emails together.

Maybe we can review other things
and discuss what's out there.

Oh, my goodness. I have the whole agenda.

Shit.

- The whole agenda?
- I have the whole agenda.

My goodness.

Downloaded?

I didn't think it was as a link.

It is incredible.

I can do a complete chronology.

That would be nice.

Fuck, look at this.

September 2015.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce....

Meeting at...

MARKETING

PRESENTATION AT THE NRA

Leave.EU. Review.

It's all there.

I know exactly when it all happened.

At every moment.

I didn't know I had so much.

I have much more,

but that's what I sent,
what seemed worthwhile.

Did you have a chance to review everything?

Almost everything. I will check more things today.

Let's take a look at one of the presentations.

"Political CA".

What is this?

It's crazy.

DATA SETS US APART

This is a list of
of the main data sources.

And look!

You have the data feeds
of 30 million people!

It says so right there!

Fuck!

My goodness.

Created on February 4, 2016.

It was after we told
Facebook that we deleted that.

They are the 30 million people

whose data we obtained from Prof. Kogan.
Professor Kogan.

There it is.

And here he acknowledges:
"The data sets us apart.

because we collect the data
data from people, and others don't.

Fuck.

I had forgotten about that.

There are a lot of things.

WHO WE ARE

SALES PRESENTATION
CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA SALES PRESENTATION

BRITTANY COMPUTER

...what we intend to do as a firm.

We are a behavior
behavioral change agency.

The holy grail of communications is

begin to modify behavior.

Trinidad is an interesting case

how we evaluate problems.

There are two main political parties,

one for the blacks
and another for the indigenous people.

And they screw each other.

So we work for the indigenous people.

We went to the client and said:
"We want young people as a target."

And we try to increase indifference.

The campaign was not political
because the kids are not interested.

It had to be reactive because they are lazy.

So we thought of this campaign:

"Be part of the gang.
Do something cool.

Be part of a movement.

And the campaign was called "Do it!".

It means: "I will not vote".

"Do it! Don't vote!".

The tribute of the resistance

who knows all of Trinidad and Tobago.

Do it!

Do it!

It is a symbol of resistance
not against the government

but against politics and suffrage.

- Do it, do it
- Yes, do it

They make their videos for YouTube.

That's the graffiti they do
on the prime minister's house.

It was a hecatomb.

We knew that when it came to
to vote,

Afro-Caribbean kids would not,

for the "Do it!".

But the indigenous children
would do what their parents told them to do,

that is: going to vote.

They had a lot of fun with this,

but they will not contradict
their parents.

IN THE ELECTIONS, THE UNITED NATIONS CONGRESS
CONGRESS ADDED SIX SEATS

I thank God for the guidance
that led us to this victory.

Thank you. Thank you, God.

The difference in participation
The difference in participation in the 18-35 years age group was 40%.

This influenced the election by 6%,

which was what we needed
in such a close election.

We now run ten national campaigns
per year for prime minister or president.

We are working in Malaysia.

We did Lithuania, Romania, Kenya, Ghana.

- Quite a few this year.
- Nigeria.

- The Brexit campaign?
- Yes, that one too.

We don't talk about that.

We won.

Are you worried that she will let you down?

Look...

Good question.

I know she is complicated....

...and that...

...has done complicated things.

I believe one can redeem oneself.

I believe in individual redemption
and in collective social redemption.

I am an idealist.
I believe we can repair what is broken

and, at the same time,

I am a realist
and I know that not everything can be repaired.

Some things break
and are not repaired.

Good morning, welcome
to this new session

of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sports Commission
and Sports.

We are pleased to welcome Brittany Kaiser

who will testify before the committee today.

There was contact between Facebook
and Cambridge Analytica

on the use of data, I believe,
in 2015.

Were you aware of it at the time?
at the time?

Facebook had announced
to all its customers

that they were going to close their access
to that data,

then we agreed to delete them,

but in March 2016,

six to eight weeks later,

our data manager said
that those data sources were deleted.

I got an email
from one of our data scientists

where it says that we used the data
from the "likes".

That seems very strange to me...

Had Facebook's data feeds
Facebook data feeds,

How come we were still using them in March?

Ms. Kaiser, you've gone from being
an idealistic intern

of Barack Obama's campaign

to work for an organization
with undesirable people.

He made presentations
for far-right political parties.

That didn't bother you at all?

Yes, I would say that it is correct
to question those ethics.

But I was offered presentations

before clients to whom I had previously
I had refused,

such as Alternative for Germany and the campaign for Marine Le Pen.
and the campaign for Marine Le Pen.

I refused to even talk on the phone.

- Not with the Independence Party?
- No.

Did you make a presentation
for the launch of Leave.EU?

Yes.

She must have been disappointed

when he subsequently
did not work for them, right?

After that day, we didn't work for them
work for them anymore.

Then he had worked.

What kind of work had he done?

We had received

Independence Party data and survey data.
and survey data.

You are contradicting a lot
what Nix said earlier.

He has made it very clear that, in his case,

worked on the campaign,
but was not paid.

He made that clear.

To make it clear to us,

for the purposes of this space,

how much data should be

so that they can then be used
to create a base

that targets an entire country
in terms of a vote?

I am not a data scientist,
I cannot give you a minimum

of data points required,

but I do know that your selection tool

was controlled by the British government,

which would mean that the methodology
was considered a weapon.

Communication tactics for military use.

The proposal was that Leave.EU
to use what you call

military-use communication tactics against the UK population?
against the population of the United Kingdom?

- Yes, sir.
- That's crazy.

I want your point of view.

What should legislators do to protect people's data?
to protect people's data?

I'm glad you asked.

Think about it.

The unique value of Google and Facebook

is to own and own, to keep and use

the personal data of people
around the world.

I think the best way forward

is for people to be the absolute owners
of their data.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chairman.

That concludes today's questions.

Before logging out,

I must make a brief announcement
about Alexander Nix.

He is not in a position to testify
before the Commission tomorrow

as you have received
a notice to appear

and will be subject to criminal investigation

by the Office of the Information
Information Commissioner.

I hope to be able to provide more information

on the subject next week. Thank you.

Thank you.

Shit!

The hearing is over.

That's right!

Alexander sent me a message.

Alexander Nix.

What did he say?

"Well done, Britt.
You looked tough and you were great."

With a winking emoji.

I feel sorry for him. You know what I mean?

He was not unhappy with me
for three and a half years.

He was kind to you for three and a half years
to do what he wanted.

Yes, but it's fun.

Hello, Justin.

How are you? What did you think?

DAVID'S COLLEAGUE

I am processing it.
It was a lot of revelations.

SCL must present its defense
by the end of the month.

It will be very interesting to see

what they can do after this.

That's right.

Shit!

She said that psychographic data
should be considered a weapon.

It seems that Kaiser has moral limits.

But she well knows
that she was inside a very dark world

and did not turn away.

And she was involved in that a couple of times.

Yes.

You worked for a man
who, after meeting you, said to you:

"I'll get you drunk
to steal your secrets."

He knew what kind of company he worked for.

I don't know. I guess I trusted him.

I worked for him for three and a half years.
He was my mentor and friend.

He just sent me a message,

even though I haven't spoken to him for over a month
I haven't spoken to him in over a month.

He was watching her.

- That's right.
- What did he tell you?

He told me that he felt me hard,
but that I did a good job.

- Did you answer?
- No.

Will you respond?

I do not think it is advisable at this time.

Then there is no friendship, is there?

Now I question
how true that friendship was.

I recognize Brittany's merit in...

I am surprised to see how many people
don't open their mouths.

My jaw dropped

when Brittany said
that it was military-grade technology.

And that it was illegal to use it

without authorization from the British government.

They are PSYOPS.

PSYOPS stands for psychological operations.

It is a term used by the military

to describe what is done in a war
in a war that is not a war.

Fundamentally, in a place like Afghanistan
like Afghanistan, you have a choice.

Or blow a village to pieces

or you try to use techniques
to convince them

that "the Taliban are bad
and will be better off without them.

SCL started as a military contractor.

SCL Defense.

We have a fairly large defense business.
business.

We train the British Army,
the British Navy,

U.S. Army,
U.S. Special Forces

We train NATO, the CIA,
the State Department, the Pentagon.

Research is used to influence the behavior of a hostile
the behavior of a hostile public.

How do you convince Muslim males
from 14 to 30 years old

not to join Al-Qaeda?

With a communication war.

They have worked in Afghanistan.

They have worked in several places
Eastern Europe.

But what changed the rules of the game

is that they resorted to information
information warfare for the elections.

There is a lot of overlap
because it is the same methodology.

In all Cambridge Analytica/SCL
Cambridge Analytica/SCL

for developing countries,

resorted to the practice
of some trick or new technology.

How to convince people.

How to avoid participation
or how to increase participation.

And then he continues: "We already know how it is.
Let's use it in Britain and the U.S.".

HIDDEN CAMERA

- Did you meet with Mr. Trump?
- Many times.

We did all the research,
all the data,

all the analysis, all the selection,

we did the digital campaign,

the television campaign,

and the data gave us the strategy.

The brand was.
"Let's defeat corrupt Hillary."

You remember, don't you?

"Corrupt Hillary."

and the two O's in "crooked" were a pair of wives.
were a pair of handcuffs.

- It was to make her look like...
- Prey.

- "He should be behind bars."
- And you created him?

"Let's defeat corrupt Hillary." Yes.

And then we did productions...

Hundreds of different productions,

and upload them to the Internet,

We put information

to circulate on the Internet

and watched it grow.

All this infiltrates the networks

and expands, but without a brand.

It cannot be attributed to anyone
nor can it be traced.

In my opinion,

if you are unable to manage your home,

you can't run the White House.

It is not possible.

Corrupt Hillary. She is corrupt.
She is most corrupt.

Let her go to jail!

That's right. She must go to jail.

Let her go to jail!

Let her go to jail!

Let's defeat it in November.

LET'S DEFEAT CORRUPT HILLARY

CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA
LET'S DEFEAT CORRUPT HILLARY

What was your reaction to seeing the hidden camera
on Channel 4?

No one noticed.

When we saw the video...

I saw him in the New York office
with all the staff.

We knew it would be on the air.

And I think they were all...

...shocked.

Everyone turned away from the screen
and went, silently, to their desks.

For going on the air...

Channel 4 News together with The Guardian
and Observer

Today a hidden camera interview
by Channel 4 News in London,

shows Cambridge executives,
including Chairman Alexander Nix,

bragging about Trump's victory.

This hidden camera series
from Channel 4 News

Nix was also filmed

talking about possible bribery and instigation
and instigation of crime.

Send girls to the candidate's home.

We have several precedents.

Mr. Nix, what is your message

For Cambridge Analytica employees?

We received statements
from Cambridge Analytica.

Alexander Nix has been suspended
with immediate effect.

The company accused of collecting data
of 87 million Facebook users

says it will close.

The company says it will file for bankruptcy
in the U.S. and the UK.

According to critics, Cambridge Analytica

and SCL Elections will cease operations

to limit or obstruct
the investigation of the authorities

and to dispose of evidence.

Is the Cambridge Analytica scandal
scandal is now the Facebook scandal?

It is not about a particular company.

This technology will continue to advance
uninterruptedly.

But Cambridge Analytica no longer exists.

In some respects, I feel...

that due to the rapid advancement of this technology
this technology,

and because people do not understand
people fail to understand it,

and because of the concern it generates,

one way or another there would have been
a Cambridge Analytica.

It sucks that it was
Cambridge Analytica.

THE GUARDIAN AND THE OBSERVER
LONDON

After dealing with the threats

Cambridge Analytica for one year,

what made our heads explode

was the day before publication,
upon receiving a letter from Facebook.

It seemed that they wanted to cow us.

It did not seem to me to be a legitimate response.

And one wonders why a company
of such magnitude

British lawyers.

It was an aggressive threat,

for which... Did they apologize?

Yes, they said they were not in a good moment.

Yes, and up to that point,

it seemed that the tech giants were still
were still

the good guys who wear sweatshirts
who connect the world.

And there was a change, the big
technological ones went from being good

to say they needed to ask questions

about this and what it means.

Cambridge Analytica no longer exists.

But it is important to understand
that Cambridge Analytica

points to a much bigger story,
more troubling story:

that have our personal data
and used against us

in ways we do not understand.

And if David recovers his data,

hopefully we can start to get some answers.
to start getting answers.

Today is the deadline for SCL
to comply with the law and return my data.

We are on the verge of evasion
or accountability.

Carole tweeted:

"Prof. Carroll testifies
before the European Parliament

the day on which the deadline expires for CA to return the data to you.
to return the data to you.

Failure to do so,
criminal proceedings will be initiated.

"Hello, Ravi, is there any word?".

"Not yet."

I am waiting to hear from my lawyer
and we still don't know anything.

So they did not respect the regulator.

They are not respecting the law.

Now that a criminal proceeding will be initiated,

we do not know what will happen.

And I will move on,

because its model could affect
the population,

even if it was to a minimal sector,
because in the U.S.

barely 70,000 voters in three states decided
decided the election.

Thank you very much, Professor Carroll.

Mr. Batten.

My question is for Carole Cadwallard
from The Guardian.

Does The Guardian have a politically partisan
politically partisan view on the issue

in its intention to collaborate
by all means

to reverse the outcome of the referendum?

This is not a partisan issue.
I couldn't be more definitive about it.

It is about the integrity
of our democracy.

It is about our national sovereignty.

And I would like to believe that both
are also of interest to you.

I believe that we urgently need
we need more information

for we do not know
how they chose their targets

and on what type of data they were based.

One thing we do know is that Facebook
has not collaborated in any way

with the British Parliament
in the investigation of the issue.

You really should look higher

and see what is important here,

see the big picture
and the risks for all of us.

Roger, although Facebook has not violated
any laws,

have they violated the moral trust
with their consumers?

With me, yes.

For three months, since October 2016,
I have tried to say:

"Guys, I think you kill democracy.
You will ruin your business."

- Hi, I'm Roger.
- Hi, how are you?

- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.

Facebook is designed to monopolize
to monopolize attention.

They take the basic gimmicks of propaganda

and combine them with those of gambling
in casinos.

Like slot machines.

Basically, they play on instincts.

Fear and anger are the two most serious
serious ways to do it.

They then created a series of tools

to enable advertisers to tap into
to tap into that emotional audience

with an individual approach.

There are 2.1 billion people
with a reality of their own.

And when everyone has their own reality,
it's easy to manipulate them.

And the other thing is
that they know they're tearing me apart

with criticisms
of what I consider my work.

It's easier to say, "I won't think about it."

Yes.

But life tests us
several times, doesn't it?

For me it was decisive.

Either I did something about it
or I did nothing at all.

This has my fingerprints on it.

I mean, I felt very guilty.

And I wanted to be able to...

...to quiet my conscience.

One of the things that surprised me

was what happened to you,

Obama's people and Hillary's people.

None of them offered to pay me.

And when your family loses all their money

and loses his home

and when your father
who brings home the bread,

he undergoes brain surgery
and can no longer work,

you must work for those who pay you.

Did your family lose all its money in 2008?

Yes, but it took time for everything to fall apart.

We lost the house in 2014
when I started working in Cambridge.

Alexander Nix appears before the
before the Media Committee,

after refusing to testify,

due to the investigations of the company.

My last time in London,

I remember considering suing SCL

and think of the fear it generated in me.

This committee thanks Alexander Nix

for agreeing to appear before her again today
before her today

to answer our questions.

Now come back here and...

These guys are out of action and

the villain is up against the wall.

Do you have any allies left in the world

or is everyone against him?

I would like to
I would like to make a few brief clarifications.

It will only take me a few minutes.

But it is important
to be able to formulate my answers.

He is very nervous.

Mr. Nix, please answer the questions and then we'll see how it goes.
and then we will see how it goes.

Generally, I would respect that,
but these are not common circumstances,

and, if I may, I would like to make
a brief statement

to establish my position.

I would prefer to address the issue
according to the question

instead of listening to a statement
statement at the beginning.

Mr. Collins, you will have your chance,

as well as the entire commission,
to ask me whatever you want,

but I insist that...

How can you start like this?

He is not in a position to insist.

"I accept that some answers
may be clearer...".

Excuse me, you are reading the statement.

- Answer the first question.
- Why does it do that?

- Can you repeat the question?
- Yes, thank you.

You made a presentation to work
in the referendum

and I don't want to dig into Leave.EU,
since he made his position clear.

Those are assumptions, Mr. Farrelly.

We have or rather I have worked
with this company for 15 years.

We have never participated
in an election in the United Kingdom.

This is not true.

Carole sent me an email.

You know that I met with Julian Assange
in February.

You know that I have donated to WikiLeaks
at some point in Bitcoin.

If you publish something about it today,
you're going to make...

...my dialogue with my own government
is very difficult.

It came up in the Brittany Kaiser trials,

because you told us about Julian Assange
the last time he came

and said that he tried to access the e-mails

Julian Assange had,

Hillary Clinton's emails,
in order to benefit the Trump campaign.

They were potentially controversial emails,

and we wanted to understand,

as well as any journalist and most political
and most political consultants

of both U.S. parties,

what they contained.

I do not believe that this curiosity
is an indication of something vile.

Oh my goodness. Carole published the article.

DIRECTOR OF CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA
SPOKE TO ASSANGE ABOUT THE ELECTION

I didn't talk about the U.S. election!
God, that's crazy!

Paul!

- Hello, how are you?
- Paul!

I told you that everything is coming out in the open
and the question is how...

I did not conspire to leak
Hillary's emails

and I have nothing to do with Russia,
so...

Yes.

The issue is...

- ...it looks like I did both.
- Does it?

If it weren't me, I'd say it looks that way.

That's why I'm scared.

There are many people who will never believe me.

There will be people who won't believe me
until I die.

It is quite possible.

- Very possible.
- I know!

Well...

I need to get out of here.

In my opinion,
since it was presented here today,

has tried to victimize,

even though you might not remotely
you could be seen as a victim.

You do realize
that you are not the victim in this, don't you?

What if it were?

What if, at the conclusion of some of these
some of these investigations,

people realize
that they simply

it was believed that we were the ones
the ones who contributed

with the Trump campaign

and unfairly attributed to us
to be the architects of Brexit

and, as a result of the polarization
of both political campaigns,

the liberal press in general
was resented,

put us in the spotlight

and coordinated an attack on us,
as a company,

in order to destroy our reputation and our business
and our business,

and all this was backed up by a series of unfounded accusations
by a series of unfounded accusations

and without logical support
by Mr. Wylie,

who gave the media
the ammunition they needed,

they wanted,

to attack us for something that,
in the case of Brexit,

we did not do?

So you are the victim in this?

If you were in this place,
you would probably feel

who is the victim.

Where the fuck is my passport?

Not a good day.

Did I put it somewhere else?

My goodness.

I never put it on that site.

I can't think clearly today.

I'm nervous. I'm sorry, my friend.

Coco Mademoiselle makes me feel better.

At least I smell good.

I don't know what will happen in the next few days.

I came back because I wanted to collaborate.

I want to help.

NEWARK AIRPORT

Oh,@carolecadwalla you did it again.

"Cambridge Analytica director spoke
with Assange about the U.S. election."

Today the Guardian newspaper reports

that a Cambridge Analytica
Cambridge Analytica executive

met with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks,

the body that distributed the documents
the documents stolen by Russia.

According to her, they discussed the U.S. elections.
U.S. elections.

Shameful. Mueller, are you listening?

I think he knows!

The Mueller investigation called
when I booked the flight

and decided to summon me.

We talked to them in a friendly way
and in a spirit of collaboration,

and then Carole's note totally changed
their opinion of me.

And yes, I...

worked at Cambridge Analytica,

when they had the data feeds from Facebook.
Facebook data feeds.

And, well, I...

...I went to Russia once
when I was working for Cambridge.

I visited Julian Assange
when he worked for Cambridge.

I once donated to WikiLeaks.

I introduced the Trump campaign
and drafted the first contract.

All this makes me look like
that I am

in the midst of great madness.

And I see it, and I cannot refute it.

I will have to reconsider
the way I did everything

in recent years.

This is a note that we have not yet published.

Discusses all investigations

that have been initiated in Great Britain and the U.S. since this story broke.
since this story broke.

So there is an FBI investigation,

of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Securities and Exchange Commission,

of the Department of Justice,

by Robert Mueller,

of the Senate Intelligence Committee
of the Senate,

of the House Judiciary and Intelligence
and Intelligence Committee.

And these are the current investigations
connected with Great Britain.

ACCORDING TO CONGRESSMEN, FACEBOOK MUST
COMBAT FAKE NEWS WITH LAWS

Parliament spent 18 months investigating.

All these witnesses were subpoenaed.

And, at the end, your report clearly states:

"Our electoral laws are not fit."

British electoral law
was not suitable

We literally cannot have
fair and free elections in this country.

And we can't have them
because of Facebook.

Because of the technological giants
that are still totally unpunished.

ON FACEBOOK ARE "DIGITAL GANGSTERS".

Sounds pretty apocalyptic,

but we seem to be entering a new era
a new era.

We see that authoritarian governments
are on the rise.

And they all use this policy
of hate and fear on Facebook.

Look at Brazil.

They have elected a right-wing extremist.

And we know that WhatsApp,
which is part of Facebook,

was clearly involved in disseminating
in disseminating false news there.

And look what happened in Burma.

There is evidence that Facebook was used

to incite racial hatred
that caused genocide.

Burn the Muslims,
so they will go to Allah faster

Let us destroy their race.

We know that the Russian government used
Facebook tools in the U.S.

PROUD TO BE BLACK
AND DEFEND THE COMMUNITY

There is evidence that Russian intelligence

created fake memes
of Black Lives Matter.

When people clicked on them,
they were directed to

in which they were invited to marches

organized by the Russian government.

- Justice now!
- When do we want it?

At the same time, pages were being uploaded

to opposition groups such as Blue Lives Matter
such as Blue Lives Matter.

The goal is to spread fear and hatred

to divide the country.

Divide and rule.

White supremacy!

Fascists and proud!

STOP THE ISLAMIZATION OF TEXAS

IS NOT MY PRESIDENT

Fuck Donald Trump!

These platforms,
created to connect us,

have turned them into weapons.

And it is impossible to distinguish them

because it happens on the same platforms

where we chat with friends
or share baby pictures.

Nothing is what it seems.

NEW YORK

Hello, how are you?

I am well.

I was here last week
and left two suitcases and two bags.

And I had to go to the airport and leave.

My luggage has been here for a week.

My guest, Carole Cadwalladr,

writes for the British newspapers
The Observer and The Guardian.

Can you tell us more
about Facebook's data?

This from the data,
how it influenced Americans

and what they were influenced by

is a key part of Mueller's
of the Mueller investigation.

I am going to Washington DC

to testify
in the Mueller investigation.

I really had no idea,
as we sat there

tallying the votes on our screens
on our screens,

that some of these votes

were issued by people who had seen
who had seen fake news

Russia on its Facebook page.
Facebook page.

Maybe I wanted to believe

that Cambridge Analytica was the best.

It is convenient to believe this version.

...degrees Celsius at Washington DC's Reagan
Reagan Airport in Washington DC.

I don't think it is possible to get rid of this.

You can't leave something like this behind.

"Youth participation, persuasion...

...indifference.

We are working in Malaysia.

We did Lithuania, Romania, Kenya, Ghana.

And the Brexit campaign.

We don't talk about that.

We won.

Listening to all this now, it seems

a criminal recognizing
all the bad things he did for the world.

Do you know?

I stood there laughing nervously with him,

letting it happen.

As I said, it's the opposite
of what I set out to do all my life.

So...

...I get angry with myself
for being in a meeting like this,

and not to have resigned immediately...

...in principle.

What am I doing?

Which researchers did you talk to?

I am collaborating as much as possible

with government investigations in which it may cooperate
in which it can cooperate,

but I am unable to comment
being in progress.

At this time you can use your cell phone,

but larger devices
should remain in storage.

Brittany made mistakes.

But it was very brave of him

introduce yourself and then continue to cooperate

and not to stay on the sidelines.

It is one of the two people

that has seriously denounced Cambridge Analytica
Cambridge Analytica.

We are all responsible.

The question is: what do we do with
with that responsibility?

Shall we assume it?

I'm glad it's finally happening.

to be able to tell people
what happened and leave everything...

...registered...

...for this government, my government.

Remember Cambridge Analytica?

It was attributed in 2016

having had access to
to data from all over the

the electorate voting in the U.S. election
in the U.S. election.

Only one of the 157 million people who voted in that election
who voted in that election,

a man named David Carroll,
asked them a very simple question.

Can I see the data you have about me?

And they refused to give it to them.

But the important thing is that today
Cambridge Analytica pleaded guilty

at Hendon Magistrates' Court for failure to comply with the ICO notice.
not to comply with the ICO notice.

What do you think about this?

We always knew it was
an illicit association, Carole.

Now... it's official?

I have already left behind
the Cambridge Analytica case.

They pleaded guilty
of not giving me my data,

and I will probably never get them.

By the time my daughter turns
18 years old,

there will be 70,000 data points
that define it

and currently has no rights.

It has no control over it.

But the battle continues.

I don't need to tell you

that there is a dark current
that connects us globally

and that runs
through technological platforms.

That is why I am here,

to speak directly to you,
the gods of Silicon Valley.

Mark Zuckerberg...

...and Sheryl Sandberg,

and Larry Page and Sergey Brin,

and Jack Dorsey.

You set out to
to connect people

and do not want to recognize

that this same technology
is separating us.

They don't seem to understand

that this is beyond them,
it surpasses any of us.

It's not about left or right,
about leaving or staying or Trump or not Trump.

It has to do with the real possibility

to have free and fair
free and fair elections.

I want to ask you something:
is this what you want?

Is this how they want history to remember them?

As the servants of authoritarianism?

And my question to others is:
is this what we want?

Sitting and playing with the phone
while this darkness traps us?

Who is online on Facebook now?

Almost all of them.

As individuals,

we can limit the flow of data
that we filter from all sides.

There are no miracle solutions.
There is no way to hide.

So you have to understand...

...how your data affects your life.

Our dignity as human beings
is in danger.

But the most difficult part of all this...

...is that these areas of destruction...

...and devastating divisions...

...begin with the manipulation of an individual
of an individual.

Then another.

And one more.

I can't help but ask myself this question:

can they manipulate me?

What about you?
