, no more hacked into a computer than did this reviewer’s aunt. But, much like said aunt, the company displayed an uncommon interest in people’s personal lives, and was only too happy to share that information with others. Viewers ought to suspect from the title alone that “The Great Hack”, a documentary about Cambridge Analytica and “the dark side of social media”, is likely to be a bit over-the-top. And it is.The film focuses on three characters.
It is unclear, to this reviewer at least, what the point is of “The Great Hack”. If it is to use Cambridge Analytica to bring to a wider audience the reality that tech companies exploit their users’ data and are often indiscriminate in the ways in which they go about it, then it is merely beating a severely ill horse. This much is, by the middle of 2019, common currency, thanks in large part to Ms Cadwalladr’s reporting.
My points too. The documentary just exaggerated everything. What hack? What meddling? This is what targeted marketing is all about and like every other thing in life, Data is king.
Shortly after Nisman is murdered, a British couple accidently discover that Argentina is shipping heavy water via Venezuela to Iran to produce plutonium . British agents offer to resettle them in the UK but things are not so simple.
And so why was there not much more pressure from your publication on British politicians to release the report on Brexit illegalities? FFFSSSSS! Boris the Clown still hasn´t released it. You poorly serve your readers and are not worthy of the title, The Fourth Estate.
alllibertynews This has been going on for over 100 years, if not more. Why is this a thing now?
I viewed the Netflix film. Looking forward to a better treatment. Subtitled: 'Is nothing Sacred anymore?'
How would we ever know?
This is an example of propaganda. in fact we found out that much of what learned in the documentary is worse is reality. CA got caught working for brexit and the US state department. Facebook tracks your location even if your opt out. dataprivacy DataRightsAreHumanRights
Politicians used to lie from a stage. Then over radio. Then on tv. And now on social media. Um, and so what?
Look for real life issues - Russian interference! No need for fictional accounts on this recent phenomenon!
Judging by the name, is it about your editor?
Fair enough this great firm ended up collapsing after being embroiled in a scandal of sorts. At least it had a decent ,good go at reversing a political decline in US to avert social disorder in parts of that vast country.
You say that when Ms Kaiser claims that “last year data surpassed oil in its value”, it's wasnt disputed yet no such claim exists...And yet you released this article 2 years ago. The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data
Trickle Down Economics (a favorite of The Economist) was the original great hack.
Your article is based on a quite literal definition of the word “hack” with no analysis of the film itself, which is the first to delve into the crimes of Analytica and Facebook. You failed here
Enjoy it for what it is bruv,
I would bet that that case about Analytica has something completely different to do with other things, not only what is said,maybe things like DNA research in London, maybe something to do with more important things globally for some special VIPs, & not only about you&me privacy.
well maybe as over the top as your own headlines x x
Jesus Christ. Is the damn author 'L.M.' Lousie effing Mensch? If yes, please do better C profcarroll
And explained in the Economist. Well, knock me over.
A 'hack' is any innovative way to surreptitiously change the status quo. The idea that a hack must be a break-in means you've not met the true hackers, both online and offline. MIT was a major home for hacking and most hacks did not involve computers at all.

Most of them know this , I knew this long back . I appreciate the documentary its so legit
It isn’t. Everyone watch this documentary! TheGreatHack
Terrible article.
Dudes’ narration bored me after 5 mins.
1.While I agree with this article that there are many unsubstantiated and unverified claims, I think this documentary is a good introduction to data mining and it's influence as a whole. Targeting people through their likes and dislikes and gauging a community's desire is natural
Gaslighting as it’s finest.
This is so upsetting. Every American needs to see this.
What it *needs*. I just watched it; as important as Gore's 'An inconvenient truth'
Curious...how the hell would you know it's misinformed...facts not right...lies sloppily covered up? If you're so well informed of what really happened...why don't you do do us average consumers justice...and expose the truth?
