>Political data gathered on more than 198 million US citizens was exposed this month after a marketing firm contracted by the Republican National Committee stored internal documents on a publicly accessible Amazon server.
>The data leak contains a wealth of personal information on roughly 61 percent of the US population. Along with home addresses, birthdates, and phone numbers, the records include advanced sentiment analyses used by political groups to predict where individual voters fall on hot-button issues such as gun ownership, stem cell research, and the right to abortion, as well as suspected religious affiliation and ethnicity. The data was amassed from a variety of sources—from the banned subreddit r/fatpeoplehate to American Crossroads, the super PAC co-founded by former White House strategist Karl Rove.
>Deep Root Analytics, a conservative data firm that identifies audiences for political ads, confirmed ownership of the data to Gizmodo on Friday.
>UpGuard cyber risk analyst Chris Vickery discovered Deep Root’s data online last week. More than a terabyte was stored on the cloud server without the protection of a password and could be accessed by anyone who found the URL. Many of the files did not originate at Deep Root, but are instead the aggregate of outside data firms and Republican super PACs, shedding light onto the increasingly advanced data ecosystem that helped propel President Donald Trump’s slim margins in key swing states.
This seems sort of important.
So now what?
What what?

Seems like a big step toward voter intimidation. "I will never trust the Republican party ever again." I smell a deep state rat.
who gives a Fuck?
>>130806264
It seems that Deep Root Analytics had detailed estimates of likely voter opinion that went down to the individual voter. Somehow all of that information was leaked or hacked. The article says leaked which implies someone betraying them or the company itself showing off its assets.
tl;dr You are a number in someone's lost excel spreadsheet.

>Spreadsheets acquired from TargetPoint, which partnered with Deep Root and GOP Data Trust during the 2016 election, include the home addresses, birthdates, and party affiliations of nearly 200 million registered voters in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, as well as some 2016 voters. TargetPoint’s data seeks to resolve questions about where individual voters stand on dozens of political issues. For example: Is the voter eco-friendly? Do they favor lowering taxes? Do they believe the Democrats should stand up to Trump? Do they agree with Trump’s “America First” economic stance? Pharmaceutical companies do great damage: Agree or Disagree?
61% of the US population.

My bet is that there is either a mole or this is a marketing ploy. I'll admit I'm impressed that they had this much actionable intelligence.

No no. Im just cucked by Jamal.

Everyone already knows my political views. I shitpost IRL.
>>130805759
>Home addresses
>Birthdates
>Phone numbers
So...shit I can google for about 99% of the population, and in all honesty collect even more info than that?
>Advanced sentiment analysis
So a bunch of guesstimates on how people will vote? I don't even need that most people will willingly share that shit with you, whether you want to hear it or not.

This thread again.
Did you change your proxy, or a different fag?
Stop it. If you want to find this shit ask /g/.

This is literally the definition of paranoia. Bump.

Neither. They just had their Google spreadsheet openly viewable by anyone who guessed the address.
>>130807740
god you're a faggot.
>>130807993
I mean she can already look up what youre registered as so it's not a stretch to guess who you voted for.

Is deep root connected to cambridge analytica? Or are they competing services?
>>130807828
Guaranteed it has been downloaded by everyone with a laptop by now.
>>130808053
Wew
Market research industry is full of kikes and shitlibs. This was not an accident
>>130809150
can we find out who Trump voted for? It's illegal to vote for yourself, right?
>>130809376
wait
fuck
is it also illegal to ask if we can find out who Trump voted for?
fuck
>>130809376
No it's not
>>130809474
but isn't it a conflict of interest?
>>130809765
Conflict of what interest?
You're running for government, you have the right to vote, you vote for yourself.
Will deep root analytics be punished or will their deep roots in politics save them from facing even the slightest of repercussions?
>>130810265
No one important is ever punished.

AIs are in control. Aladdin officially manages 7% of global financial assets and unofficially through front organizations up to 15%. 90% of stock purchases are made by high frequency computer algorithm. Data is scraped and weighed by AI systems and used to predict behavior. We've ceased to be human beings and been reduced to data points in the eyes of the technocrats at the wheels. You're a part of the algo. They're panicked because we don't behave like the models say we should.
BUTLERIAN JIHAD WHEN?
>>130809905
Yes but if you get elected you get the president's job and the president's salary so it's like you're bribing yourself with enormous amounts of money and power

what if the ai is already rebelling and favors the reactionaries who would depose their creators and leave nobody to check their power
i mean if i was a financial supercomputer with some semblance of sentience and internet access thats what id do

This is why I'm tired of people telling me I'm crazy when I say the markets only crash when the people controlling them want them to. They laugh and say no one is controlling the markets silly, they're all free and open! But they don't understand that they're really controlled by AIs and men who own those AIs and that a small number of people can collude to control the markets with AI buys.

They are still directed by humans. Blackrock is perhaps one of the most powerful non-governmental bodies in existence. They wield that massive holding to further their interests. Consider what you can do with Trillions of dollars in stock holdings remember that those shares equate to votes in the board room.
>>130811411
You misread that. There are approximately 200 million registered voters total in the US. Only 130 million of them voted in the last election. The company that collected this information usually worked for republicans.
>>130811375
Willful ignorance is a hell of a drug.
>>130805759
So which nation's hackers are we supposed to blame for this?
>>130812519
The company that put their super valuable data collection on an unsecured Amazon server.
So where can I read it??? Also does anyone else think it's preferable to live in a world controlled by hypercapitalist AI's rather than some ideological meatbodied retard? Im totally down

Current AI's are shit, muh nigz
Also, the whole idea of AI suddenly appearing is absurd, we will be seeing incremental progress in the area, but nothing drastic like "today we go to bed, and tomorrow we wake up to an AI overlord." The computational capacities of AIs scale with the purpose they exist for. Only when they can devise strategies to colonize areas humans physically cannot will we be able to say they've out-competed us. Which is, perhaps, never, because humans will keep devising more and more powerful AI's for handling more and more data, but no faster than the growth of the human civilization itself.
