the stinking enigma Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Doesn't really affect me - due to my cast iron manxforums exclusivity posting contract that i was stupid and trusting enough to sign. Bit shocking though all the same. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/19/cambridge-analytica-execs-boast-dirty-tricks-honey-traps-elections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 There has to be a manx connection in here somewhere. If not, we have certainly missed the boat on this one. I'm guessing there will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Sadly, it wasn’t just you Woolley, it was beyond a lot of people - that’s why so many are now afraid of their own shadows, scared shitless with bullshit tales of no-go zones, sharia law and the EUSSR. “These are things that, I mean, it sounds a dreadful thing to say, but these are things that don’t necessarily need to be true, as long as they’re believed,” Alexander Nix. “and our job is to get, is to drop the bucket further down the well than anybody else, to understand what are those really, deep-seated underlying fears, concerns.” Mark Taylor.

It doesn't stand scrutiny though does it? So you trawl the data looking for people who might be inclined to vote a certain way and you feed them information so that they will vote the way they were going to anyway. Just part of the unceasing "Get Trump", "Get Brexit" efforts of the established order. Clearly they don't like it up 'em and they will go to any lengths.

pongo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 According to the Electoral Commission, the Vote Leave campaign had spent £3.9million, more than half of its official £7million campaign budget, on services provided by AggregateIQ (AIQ), whilst other affiliated Leave campaigns spent a further £757,750. https://www.ft.com/content/514e90ea-d134-11e7-9dbb-291a884dd8c6 https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/calls-for-dup-to-reveal-source-of-500-000-brexit-donation-1.3115919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly just explained why it would stand up to scrutiny. If you were a "might be inclined" and then convinced to become a "will be voting", your opinions and by extension voting "power" has been steered. This would make you a product of social engineering. Which is literally the point of this mechanism, to steer your opinion to a certain goal. On a side note, this is another example of life imitating art. House of Cards (US) showed this being used to skew voting. Just another thing the show "predicted" that has come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
