And that's how the Cambridge story changed the global discussion about tech, privacy, and data, which the industry had largely been able to mute for decades. I wrote a bit about it at the time. https://t.co/Tar7Ru1OQj — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
But the idea that this ecosystem had helped elect Trump, using data the company had gotten off from Facebook users without really asking them, changed that. It's ironic that the tech seemingly didn't work. But the unregulated ecosystem was real. — PolitiTweet.org

Until Cambridge Analytica, in my experience, most people were either unaware of or unconcerned about the voracious data-collection ecosystem built up by Google, Facebook, and the adtech industry. — PolitiTweet.org

As I see it, the @ICOnews report I flagged yesterday goes mostly to the secret sauce part of the story. Like past journalistic investigations, the regulator concluded that CA's secret sauce was mostly branding. But that doesn't change the privacy story. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
It just wasn't at all clear that psychographics worked, or that if it did work, that it worked with any greater effect than traditional microtargeting. But for some, the idea that it not only worked, but was very effective, was an explanation for the success of Brexit and Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
The secret sauce was in question almost from the beginning, not only in stories during the campaign from @politico and others, but afterwards, in 2017, from @adage, @BuzzFeed, and @nytimes. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
The "secret sauce" story was, basically, had CA developed an extraordinarily effective new voter-persuasion technology using Facebook data? The privacy story was: How did they get their Facebook data in the first place? — PolitiTweet.org

ADDENDUM: There seems to be a lot of misplaced dunking about "Cambridge Analytica was a hoax!", some of it seemingly inspired by this thread. So let's unpack a tiny bit more. To my mind, Cambridge was always two, interrelated stories: 1) Digital privacy 2) "secret sauce" — PolitiTweet.org

I do wonder if President Trump, ensconced in the White House cocoon like all presidents, grasps just how many Americans have had to adapt to virtual work and doing things over video -- simply to stay employed or see their children get a modicum of schooling. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to highlight story that always stayed with me. Ten years ago, Jim wrote about how big chain clothing stories like were purposefully damaging unsold clothing before throwing it away. In a city where many people could not afford to clothe themselves. https://t.co/0cuAcls0RJ — PolitiTweet.org

This morning our Times family lost Jim Dwyer, a longtime Metro reporter and columnist. Jim was a model for me and a lot of other people here. As a columnist, he never stopped reporting. He used his power to tell the stories of those in our city who had too little of it. R.I.P. — PolitiTweet.org

@cwarzel I think after 2016, there was a great appetite on the left for alternative explanations of how Trump had won. For some people, Cambridge's "secret sauce" became the answer. Ironically, the company's marketing spin was eagerly consumed by its most ardent critics. — PolitiTweet.org
