Even more frightening is what big data and corrupt players mean for future elections and, not to be too alarmist, but democracy in general. I so appreciate that Brittany Kaiser has had the courage to be a whistle blower and written this book. I need a few days to think about what I can do to play some small part in helping to address the issue. I do appreciate that she identified suggestions at the back of the book. For starters, I am even more motivated me to get more involved in the 2020 election, particularly on the data side, and certainly will encourage my colleagues to read the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important additions to understanding social media manipulations, such as Microtargeting *by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020* Brittany Kaiser worked for Cambridge Analytica (CA) and Alexander Nix from Dec 2014 until March 2018. As a salesperson, she provides a detailed view of the advertising information used to describe CA’s use of technology, especially to elect Donald Trump, and a view of the people who promoted Trump. Her descriptions of the basic methods and processes of CA and their adaptation to campaigns throughout the world adds to our understanding of these new technologies and also, surprise here, some most clever political manipulations of groups and nations based on an understanding of their cultures and societies. However, Kaiser was young, needy, and is a serious narcissist, so her analysis and understanding of technology is flawed by her desire to promote herself and control others. As with most narcissists, since that is socially unacceptable, she has a series of disguises, the liberal caring for world peace, the woman needing a father figure and money, whatever, to hide her inability to see reality and other people independent of her needs and resulting desire to control. The book provides a service in the facts that it reveals, especially as she uses the data on her PC, such as advertising slides and messages, to reveal the different creative adaptations used by CA managers. However, her analysis of people and technology is poor, her views are so slanted by her narcissism that any analysis and her related supposed facts are plain silly. She uses the word whistleblower with no concept of what it might mean, since she deems herself a whistleblower. For example, she equates Daniel Ellsberg who released carefully vetted small amounts of classified information so as to protect our nation with Julian Assange who dumped tens of thousands of US classified documents from Edward Snowden and thus, did untold damage to the world and people. She equates the specific context of John Jones, a British lawyer who defended war criminals, and his views of the necessary neutrality of a lawyer, to a partial explanation for her life during that period. Since she can’t pay attention to outside realities, contexts, and people she can not comprehend a whole view of a complex business organization interacting with powerful, developing technologies. This book is limited to her experiences and doesn’t involve any investigation into the other players at CA, for example, she did not review or understand the testimony of Christopher Wylie but does repeat the company gossip about him. Alexander Nix is a manipulator trying to build a company that sells political manipulations, but her central view of him is how he did or didn’t satisfy her needs. At the end of the book there is an attempt to understand how to modify our global use of technology, but she has no comprehension of the inherent momentum of these technologies and the technical realities of control, we see only her desire to control society and people, thus the legislative list which she provides is a starting point for your own analysis of its possible value.On the level of a novel, it is an interesting book to see the use of manipulation by Alexander Nix and his associates in building his company. The setting begins in Britain with Kaiser’s personal side views of Brexit and expands to the whole world, especially the 2016 Trump campaign and the role of Robert and Rebekah Mercer. It is difficult to wade through the author’s narcissistic world view, but fascinating to see the interactions hidden behind her self-centered observations. This book provides a sense of the new industry of data manipulation of users, especially Facebook and other social media users. There are now hundreds of companies creating, selling, and analyzing data on how to manipulate users through powerful advertising algorithms, here my interest is in the changes of political elections, such as Trump in 2016. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes, you are being targeted and manipulated *by H***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019* All powerful technologies have the potential for benefit and for harm. Big data analytics is no different, currently being used for medical diagnoses, fraud detection, and climate change predictions, to name but a few. But there are also alarming misuses of massive data mining, well documented in recent books like O’Neil’s Weapons of Math Destruction. Such misuse can (and did) change the course of history, as revealed in Brittany Kaiser’s new expose on Cambridge Analytica’s data gathering and manipulation of public sentiments and political opinions. That this was even possible resulted not only from their overt and covert attempts to influence the US 2016 presidential election (as well as other international elections such as Mexico’s), but also from social media’s lack of oversight and, more concerning, from the general population’s uncaring and willful ignorance about how they are being targeted and directed with misrepresentations and outright lies. Responsible citizenship and exercise of voting rights without improper influence demands an informed electorate that cares about facts and knows how to verify them. Sadly, it seems we no longer live in that world. Read Kaiser’s book to get a disturbing picture of how bad the problem is, but despair of finding quick and easy solutions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/147570470-targeted-the-cambridge-analytica-whistleblowers-inside-story-of-how-big](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/147570470-targeted-the-cambridge-analytica-whistleblowers-inside-story-of-how-big) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
