Netflix film on Facebook, Cambridge Analytica etc.
Anyone seen it? It's really enlightening and worrying stuff - how they have affected elections all around the world, including Brexit and Trump most notably.

Started to watch it last night, but must say I got a bit bored after half hour so ended up turning it off! |  |

Yes it was an interesting watch. Scary how much power Facebook especially has and how a concentrated campaign can change governments. I forget the country named but how they managed to get a swing by increasing voting apathy in a particular group was clever but incredible, if true. |  |

Watched it last week and posted on here, it's quite eye opening stuff and starts to explain some of the election and voting stuff beginning to happen around the world.
