  • A Duty Ethics Analysis on the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica Scandal
    A Duty Ethics Analysis on the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica Scandal STS Research Paper Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia By Christopher Truong March 1, 2020 On my honor as a University student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this assignment as defined by the Honor Guidelines for Thesis-Related Assignments. Signed: _______________________________________________ Approved: _______________________________________ Date ________________________ Benjamin J. Laugelli, Assistant Professor, Department of Engineering and Society 1 Introduction In early 2018, a whistleblower revealed that the British political consulting firm had harvested personal data from millions Facebook profiles and was using the data to microtarget political advertisements during election cycles in various countries, most notably in the United States, where it assisted with Senator Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential election campaign and later Donald Trump’s campaign. While the efficacy of these microtargeted ads is debatable -- one could argue that they did not have an appreciable effect on the results of the election, they play into the much larger problem of election interference in the 21st century, where new technology developments have changed the game in how social and political interactions happen. Much of the literature on the topic focuses on the legal and political consequences of what transpired in the time period between when Cambridge Analytica began its operations and when it was whistleblown and subsequently scrutinized. There is little literature on the morality of the actions of the key players in the operation, such as the developer of the app and the CEO of Cambridge Analytica, who was presumably making the decisions of the company.

  • Supplementary Evidence from Chris Wylie
    A RESPONSE TO MISSTATEMENTS IN RELATION TO CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND TO THE COMPANIES Mr Wylie was the Director of Research for SCL and Cambridge Analytica from 2013 to the end of 2014. SCL Group is a UK-based military contractor that specialises in Information Operations (“IO”). SCL’s clients have included the UK Ministry of Defence, US Department of Defense and various NATO militaries. Information Operations is the area of military strategy that deploys, manipulates or weaponises information to support operational objectives. Within IO, there are related fields such as Psychological Operations and Cyber Operations. It is important to highlight that as IO is a military strategy, which is often deployed in combat situations where the Data Protection Act would not apply, many IO approaches are not generally congruent with the Data Protection Principles. This is because there are two key objectives of IO. The first is the notion of “informational dominance”, which focuses on capturing, interfering or manipulating as many channels of information surrounding the target as possible. This is typically done, by necessity, without the knowledge of the target. The second is using information collected about the target to identify and then exploit mental vulnerabilities to provoke certain behaviours in the target that would be conducive to operational objectives. Cambridge Analytica (“CA”) was created by SCL Group with funding from Robert Mercer, an American billionaire based in New York. Robert Mercer installed the alt-right political activist Stephen Bannon as CA’s Vice President with responsibilities to manage the company day-to-day. Mr Mercer wanted to use the IO tactics SCL had used on military projects for his political aims in the United States, and elsewhere, including the United Kingdom.

  • Three Explanatory Essays Giving Context and Analysis to Submitted Evidence
    Three Explanatory Essays Giving Context and Analysis to Submitted Evidence Part 1: Cambridge Analytica, the Artificial Enemy and Trump's 'Big Lie' By Emma L. Briant, University of Essex Last week, whistleblowers, including former Cambridge Analytica research director Chris Wylie, exposed much of the hidden workings behind the Cambridge Analytica digital strategy funded by the Mercers which empowered the US far right and their Republican apologists, and revealed CA’s involvement in the “Brexit” campaign in the UK. Amid Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix’s gaslighting and deflection after Trump’s election victory, few questions about this powerful company have been answered. As a propaganda scholar, I have spent a decade researching SCL Group, a conglomerate of companies including Cambridge Analytica who did work for the Trump campaign. Following the US election, I used the substantial contacts I had developed to research an upcoming book. What I discovered was alarming. In this and two other linked explanatory essays, I discuss my findings concerning the involvement of these parties in Brexit (See Part 2) and Cambridge Analytica’s grossly unethical conduct enacted for profit (See Part 3). I draw on my exclusive interviews conducted for my upcoming book What’s Wrong with the Democrats? Media Bias, Inequality and the rise of Donald Trump (co-authored with George Washington University professor Robert M. Entman) and academic publications on the EU referendum, and my counter-terrorism research. Due to my expertise on this topic, I was compelled by the UK Electoral Commission, Information Commissioners Office and the Chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee's Fake News Inquiry Damian Collins MP to submit information and research relating to campaigns by SCL, Cambridge Analytica and other actors.

  • The Survival of Democracy in a Technological Society
    THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY IN A TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Cambridge Analytica Scandal Marieke Schröder Public Governance across Borders Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social sciences (NL) word count: 11992 01.07.2020 Examination Committee Dr. M.R.R. Ossewaarde Dr. P.-J. Klok Abstract This research offers an interpretation of the meanings attributed to democracy in the Cambridge Analytics Scandal in British newspaper coverage. It is thereby assumed that the revelation of several security issues in the democratic system implies a change of democracy. To answer the research question and validate the assumptions, an interpretive approach is applied, preforming a direct content analysis of 138 newspaper articles published from the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph in 2018. It is found, that the values “free” and “fair” are no longer associated with elections and furthermore the original aristocratic idea behind electoral system occurred: The control of the citizenry. Moreover, through the methodology of microtargeting, the access to independent information is threatened. The close relationship between governments and tech firms uncovers the responsibility of politics regarding the infrastructural power of tech firms. Hence, all found security issues threatened the electoral system, and thus leads to its change. Consequently, the change of the electoral system implies a change of democracy. Corresponding, it is assumed, that a new form of democracy occurred. Potentially a technological democracy shaped by its technological society. Table

    POLITICAL SCIENCE UNDERGRADUATE REVIEW VOL. 5 Winter 2020 ARTICLE 7 The Effects of Modern Data Analytics in Electoral Politics: Cambridge Analytica’s Suppression of Voter Agency and the Implications for Global Politics By Evan Oddleifson Introduction Each technological revolution, such as the advent of radio, television, the internet, and social media, has informed how politics and people engage in democratic processes. The Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate became the focal point of one such revolution when radio listeners and television viewers were perceived to be divided on the outcome of the debate. To explain this, later research suggested that television viewers weighed personality, rather than policy, more heavily than radio listeners (Gershon 2016). This changed how voters chose candidates and thus how those candidates campaigned - it changed politics. Moreover, it highlighted the importance of technology in politics. This issue has proven itself perennial, and has today reached a point where the technologies of persuasion have become so capable that their use has been construed as information warfare by senior US national security officials (Cadwalladr 2018), and as a credible cyber-threat. This paper maps the impacts of this modern technological revolution on individual, national and global politics. Specifically, this paper examines the effects of social media driven data analytics on voter micro targeting and electoral politics using Cambridge Analytica’s (CA) involvement in the 2016 US Presidential election and the 2010 Trinidad and Tobago General election to illuminate the electoral strategies and outcomes associated with their use of new data analytical processes. It hypothesizes that, if unchecked, the voter targeting technologies employed by Cambridge Analytica erodes voter agency.

  • Rich Men and Brexit
    Rich Men and Brexit In the early 80s I took up a new appointment as the Conservative Party’s first Direct Mail Manager. I made regular trips to Nottingham to meet executives of Experian, a company, which in those days, was focussed on the capture of data from the electoral register. I studied the work they were doing of merging census data with the electoral register and quickly realised we could use what was then called socioeconomic demographics, to accurately identify those electors, whose lifestyles might make them more likely to contribute to the Conservative Party. Later, I worked on merging data the Party held from every kind of election result, and from all polling data, both private and publicly published, and shortly before Polling Day of the 1986 General Election the ‘data sandwich’ was ‘number crunched’. Just before taking Mrs Thatcher to her count in her Finchley constituency I was able to tell her our prediction from the ‘number crunch’ was that she would have an overall majority of 103 - the result was 102. Fast forward to the Trump Campaign for President in the United States, and the EU Referendum in the UK in 2016. The first earth-shattering difference was the progression of social media, which enabled our socioeconomic demographics of the 80s to use ‘Big Data’ to accurately identify what individual electors are thinking as we near the third decade of the 21st Century. The other was the spectacular advances in all aspects of Information Technology - more powerful computers, running on ever more powerful programs - and - AI - Artificial Intelligence.

  • UNCLASSIFIED 1 UNCLASSIFIED March 26, 2018 MINORITY VIEWS
    UNCLASSIFIED March 26, 2018 MINORITY VIEWS On March 1, 2017, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) approved a bipartisan “Scope of Investigation” to guide the Committee’s inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.1 In announcing these parameters for the House of Representatives’ only authorized investigation into Russia’s meddling, the Committee’s leadership pledged to undertake a thorough, bipartisan, and independent probe. The Committee explained at the time that it would “conduct interviews, take witness testimony, and review all reporting underlying” the January 6, 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s covert campaign.2 Importantly, Chairman Devin Nunes and Ranking Member Adam Schiff promised the American public that the Committee would “seek to ensure […] that allegations of Russian collusion with any U.S. Persons and the leaks of classified information are fully investigated.” Chairman Nunes vowed that “on a bipartisan basis, we will fully investigate all the evidence we collect and follow that evidence wherever it leads,” a promise echoed by Ranking Member Schiff, who said that the Committee “must follow the facts wherever they may lead, leaving no stone unturned, and that must also include both the Russian hacking and dumping of documents as well as any potential collusion between Russia and U.S. citizens.”3 One year later, the Committee’s Majority has shattered its commitment by rushing to end its investigation prematurely, even as it continues to investigate President Donald Trump’s political opponents, our intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and diplomatic corps, and former members of the Administration of President Barack Obama.
