Cambridge Analytica, an expert company in data analysis, became the dark side of social networks after the 2016 US presidential elections. So introduce The Great Hack the subject that is going to tell, a documentary that you can now see on Netflix.
The great hack and the controversy of Cambridge Analytica
Netflix estrenara Wednesday, July 24 The Great Hack, a documentary in which they will explain everything that happened with Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and that misuse that was made with the information of millions of users based on the data they shared on social networks.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal is known to most people who follow technological news, even if it is above. The media have given coverage because it is an important issue. And that has later served to raise awareness about the importance of privacy on the Internet. Although there are still many who seem not to be afraid, they continue to share blindly and no matter where or how.
The Great Hack can help that, perhaps, through a narrative that focuses more on personal stories and not so much in the concrete facts and exact modes of operation of Cambridge Analytica, a greater awareness is gained about the problem of data being dumped on the internet.
In the documentary that opens tomorrow, from what we can read in different media that have already had access and seen it in its entirety, there are moments in which the problem will be explained through the use of striking graphics and resources. A way to attract user attention and show how Cambridge Analytica secretly obtained information from 87 million Facebook users. Something that, in addition, he was able to do due to FeceBook's weak privacy rules.
However, the great asset and base of this documentary will be in the personal narratives based on two main characters. Through the testimonials of David Carroll, Professor of Parsons School Of Design that he sued Cambridge Analytica with the intention of finding the source of his data; and Brittany Kaiser, a senior employee who left the company a few days after the scandal became known and who revealed parts of its operation, a story is spun that offers a more dramatic perspective of the whole matter.
It will be necessary to see it to assess, to see if it complies with rigor when it comes to telling the facts or if some licenses are taken to generate a greater impact. We assume that it will be difficult to tell some very technical aspects, even some things that we do not know after so many analyzes and articles on the subject.
What is clear is that privacy is a real problem today. And it can be much more so if certain limits are not placed on how data is processed by large companies. That's why this documentary is interesting.
