How Cambridge converted those tiny bits of data into massive political wins has never before been made public. Its methods raise disturbing questions about how our personal data can be used to manipulate us.

Looking forward to this read.
- You can just watch The Great Hack or The Social Dilemma, these are the same people and techniques as what got Brexit passed and Trump elected

Well-written article exposing how the NSSF’s secret database proves privacy is just an illusion.
