Analytica...

My nephew is a Data Geek and I invite him for Chai Pakoda ... he's also a Chai Pakoda freak... we get chatting over assorted Pakodas and over-sweet Tea ...

Me: What's all this talk about Cambridge Analytica...

Nephew: Its into Data Mining... Data Analysis and Influencing ..hear they've influenced the Trump election..secretly it campaigns during elections..

M: Then EC needs to step in...

N: Their CEO has said... Today in the United States we have somewhere close to four or five thousand data points on every individual ... so we model the personality of every adult across the United States, some 230 million people."

M: I hear they have mined a lot of data from Facebook too...

N: Yes....then they'll analyze the mined data... and then starts the influencing process......you will get bombarded with anti BJP info.... if they are working for Congress. Fake Tweets attributing these to BJP Leaders...morphed pics etc... etc..

M: But they say BJP and JD (U) used them in 2010...

N: Hoax... this Avtar came into existence in 2013 so if Cambridge Analytica claims it did so in 2010 its a hoax....born in 2013. The so said claim by the Company is a hoax.... its done by an amateur...which International Company would use Client's List instead of Clients List.

M: So all these documents being peddled by pro Congress Media are hoax documents..

N: And I hear there is a move to summon the CEO of Facebook on the Data Leak...

M: In the meantime I note on Twitter  #DataChorCongress is trending...

N: What is really very damaging to Congress is ... is in US ... Cambridge Analytica was not used to sell Trump .....that he's mentally fit to be President......here sadly its being alleged that

Cambridge Analytica is being used to sell RaGa ......fit for PM's post...that he has the mental fitness for this job...

M: And I presume the disinformation on the current PM of India is also the handiwork of this Organization...EVM bashing too...

N: Yes...like today they are circulating collage of pics... of MMS and Kejri with Rs 5 pens in their pockets and Modi using what looks like a Mont Blanc pen..they've priced the pen which looks like a 25000 pen as a 1,30,000 pen... and the slogan used is Ego...or the 35 crore donation cheque that Mallya is supposed to have given BJP..

M: But such pens are the property of PMO... pics of Modi show he too has ordinary pens in his pocket usually...and at least they should have tried to copy Mallya's signature on the cheque....

N: So now you understand  how their disinformation works....you will get fixed surveys... asking you to vote for who do you think will be the next PM... the survey is fixed and after you vote will  show RaGa is way ahead...

M: Such help does not come cheap...

N: Such a Contract in my opinion could cost upwards of $ 400-600 million. And their front Companies get invloved in a lot of nepharious activities to achieve the objective..

M: I think it all started by making a section of the  Media  totally subjective in their favor...then too you got fixed stuff... but this fixing by Cambridge Analytica is scientific... runs very deep and is more effective... yes they will use the section of the Media that's gone subjective in their Client's favor..

N: Apart from EC.. I think NSA too should look into this...

M: What do you advice... I am on SM ..

N: Do not respond to personal messages......no chats.... your posts should be seen by only your friends....

.befriend carefully...and don't respond to any Surveys..

M: Shouldn't this be the way you conduct yourself in real life too....don't argue in public... be choosy about friends...

My nephew gives me a thumbs up. And we get down to 'seriously damaging' the Pakodas being sent to us.
