When I first heard what is this documentary all about I was ofcourse shocked and curious, curious of what is the real story. In the other hand, I am grateful that this documentary was made because it is really a serious matter. An election is something to be serious and fair matter especially the presidency election. The Great Hack shows that the alleged issues during 2016 election in America where in that time Clinton and Trumph are running for presidency. Then suddenly there are whistle blowers that spoke their minds about Cambridge Analytica issue..
First of all, I admire the whistle blowers who have courage to share their experiences in working in Cambridge company. Especially Brittany Kaiser who first saw that the data from people were stored and she told Cambridge heads to delete those. Then it turned out that Cambridge Analytica didn’t delete those data and it continued to be recorded in their systems. I strongly disagree on collecting data from personal and private lives of the Facebook users. Speaking of Facebook, Zuckerberg said he doesn’t know anything about this and I am disappointed for not securing enough the private information of his users.
They said these data’s from people were used to spread false informations about Hillary Clinton in Facebook during the election that caused Donald Trumph to win the presidency election. In the end of the documentary, it is not confirmed that there is a controversial happened in the said election. But what is sure and important that the data and private information are stolen and stored in Cambridge Analytica systems. What I learned in this documentary is to not fully trust the modern technology because you don’t know what will happen to your private data. Lastly, I realized that technology truly helps us but it can also destroy us.
