Personal Data: Political Persuasion

Title

Personal Data: Political Persuasion

Subject

Inside the Influence Industry. How it works.

Description

The Data and Politics team at Tactical Tech has spent twelve months investigating these technologies: who is selling them, what they promise and how exactly they extract value from personal data. The team has attended events, interviewed practitioners and worked with partners spanning multiple countries to piece together a puzzle of the workings of the industry and the mechanisms they use.
