Understand that once massive databases become the norm, as EVERY government secretly craves they will so they can take full advantage of all that information about YOU .... all of this will only become worse and you WILL be governed at the most minute level by some asshole's 'paradigm'. I've posted times many on the antics of Facebook - where I am now posting and get away with this revolutionary talk because of GENUINE free speech ... but I am already on databases and I know it!! ... but let me run the knives over Facebook, as the prime present day example, again.... for those who are not taking it all onboard....
The author wrote about her time inside Facebook's highest administration – and this was specifically about the Trump first campaign – but has ramifications worldwide:-
Here are excerpts from 'Careless People' – a book written by Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked for Zuckerberg directly:-
p.264 'Mark stands by what he said. He believes it! It's remarkable that a person who founded one of the most powerful companies in the word, a business premised on the idea that it can influence the brand of toothpaste you buy, has such difficulty accepting that the platform where the president-elect spent such vast amounts of money had any influence on the election'.
'A Trump operative named Brad Parscale ran the operation together with the embedded Facebook staff, and he basically invented a new way for a political campaign to shitpost its way to the White House, targeting voters with misinformation, inflammatory posts, and fundraising messages.'
'…. Facebook and Parscale's combined team micro-targeted users and tweaked ads for maximum engagement, using data tools we (Facebook) designed for commercial advertisers …. Trump's campaign amassed a database named Project Alamo, of over 220 million people in America. It charted all sorts of online and offline behaviour, including gun registration, voter registration, credit card and shopping histories, what websites they visit, what car they drive, where they live, and the last time they voted …...'
'the campaign used Facebooks' 'Custom Audiences from Custom Lists' algorithm to match people in that database with their Facebook profiles. Then Facebook's 'Lookalike Audiences' algorithm found people on Facebook with 'common qualities that 'look like' those of known Trump supporters.”
p265 ' at any given moment the campaign had tens of thousands of ads in play, millions of different ad variations by the time they were done. These ads were tested using Facebook's Brand Lift surveys, which measure whether people have absorbed the messages in the ads, and tweaked accordingly.'
All bad enough, you say, and this use of algorithms runs through the kind of 'truck' you drive, the way you text messages, childcare preference and so on and so on … and guess what – this was self-funding , since the 'data targeting' enabled the campaign to 'raise millions each month in campaign contributions through Facebook'.
'Brand Lift' surveys is what you see with people being paid to post crap to get responses that are monitored. Now I don't know about you - but to me that is pretty scary, and shows not only the level to which the internet and coming AI dominance over it can be used to dominate and control a society - but why so much disinformation is being fed to you all daily in posts that contain hate speech and such - and all untouched by any restrictions, even on complaint direct.
These people are paid to trigger responses so those responses can be evaluated by Facebook's marketing algorithms, and nothing is allowed to stand in the way of that process
The internet is already out of control - AI will make it much worse by having 'benevolent' Terminators in front of your eyes feeding you whatever line their creators and controllers want to feed you... the Obersturmfuhrers playing the music as you are lead to the gas chambers...
Then .. a little analysis:-
“microtargeted users and tweaked ads for maximum engagement, using data tools we (Facebook) designed for commercial advertisers“
“amassed a database named Project Alamo, of over 220 million people in America“
“charted all sorts of online and offline behaviour, including gun registration, voter registration, credit card and shopping histories, what websites they visit, what car they drive, where they live, and the last time they voted“
“had tens of thousands of ads in play, millions of different ad variations by the time they were done. These ads were tested using Facebook's Brand Lift surveys“
“this was self-funding , since the 'data targeting' enabled the campaign to 'raise millions each month in campaign contributions“ ..................
Now, people – I don't know what most of you think – but for those of you wondering why exactly all these harpies and other clearly psychotic types (online at least) post their endless array of inflammatory posts and such – you don't need to look very far.
Facebook PAYS them to stir up discussion so it can monitor the responses and micro-target advertising at the individual level – which pays all the bills to the tune of mega-billions.
The DANGER in this ....... is that certain political parties and movements are doing the very same – posting stuff daily to trigger responses (just like this article right here) – so that they can exploit the same INCOME generated from 'leads' handed to Facebook!!!
