Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIsn't this where, if I were a liberal and this was about admitting to massive voter fraud or what employees from Planned Parenthood say and do, I should say it was all taken out of context, it's nothing but a right wing meme, or just ignore and deny? Give me a hand here, since I'm kinda new to how this is played.

Originally posted by Charles View PostAnd you think that justifies the methods used? If only there is no evidence then feel free to use protitutes and all other sorts of dirty methods?
But if they do use dirty tactics, that doesn't mean they did anything like that in Trump's campaign. I don't recall any prostitute scandals attributed to Hillary, do you? The only scandals regarding Hillary were of her own making with her server in a bathroom and wiping of her emails and destroying phones with hammers. None of that had anything to do with CA.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostCambridge Analytics emphatically denies these allegations. Is there any evidence that anything this guy said is actually true? Any documents or corroborating witnesses? Or are we just supposed to take him at his word?
As for gathering data from Facebook, the Obama campaign did the exact same thing with Facebook's blessing, so nothing to see there.
To understand how it works, you must first understand the vast technological engine that powered the campaign but remained largely out of view of the public and the press. Messina, the campaign manager, often boasted about how the Obama 2012 effort would be “the most data-driven campaign ever.” But what that truly meant — the extent to which the campaign used the newest tech tools to look into people’s lives and the sheer amount of personal data its vast servers were crunching — remained largely shrouded. The secrecy around the operation was partly because the president’s strategists wanted to maintain their competitive edge. But it was also no doubt because they worried that practices like “data mining” and “analytics” could make voters uncomfortable.
Using data wasn’t new for the Obama strategists. The 2008 campaign developed the most sophisticated system to date to identify tens of millions of voters and place them into useful categories: those most likely to vote Republican, who would be ignored; those supporting Obama — and how likely they were to vote. That system — based on a complicated scoring method that relied on the processing of reams of data — was first devised by an outside consultant, Ken Strasma.
