Brittany Kaiser: Targeted - taking on Trump, Brexit and Facebook

You may recognise Brittany Kaiser as the main subject from the Netflix documentary The Great Hack.

Brittany had a passion for politics from a young age.  A democrat, she worked on progressive political campaigns – including Barack Obama’s – and for human rights organisations.

Yet Brittany became a director for Cambridge Analytica for three and a half years.

Two years ago Cambridge Analytica were exposed for what they were doing; Brittany became a whistle-blower.

Brittany has written a book about her experience, Targeted – My Inside Story of Cambridge Analytica and How TRUMP, BREXIT and FACEBOOK Broke Democracy.

She told Andrew Dickens working for Cambridge Analytica she found out a lot more than she bargained for.
