Oh Alberta
Excerpt from the 2019 HBO Film Brexit, which focuses on the Cambridge Analytical scandal:
Social media platforms are designed to find like-minded people. Our software will locate and target like-minded people that no campaign has ever targeted before. People who don't and have never voted. Three million extra votes that the other side have no idea exist.
And now, from Elephant in the room, published this morning in The Globe and Mail (archive link):
David Parker, an organizer for Alberta separation, brokered the meeting and championed the software. Known as 10X Votes, it mines voter lists to identify communities of like-minded people that could be mobilized to potentially swing elections.
The article continues:
The strategy behind 10X Votes is simple, but powerful, the creators say. If MAGA conservatives can identify those within their ranks who aren’t regular voters and get them to the polls, they can generate better election results. It is an age-old get-out-the-vote strategy, but with a technological twist.
Sounds familiar, right? The 10X software was the catalyst for the massive data breach committed by David Parker and his separatist group, Centurion Project.
