IN 2014, Nix, a senior person in Cambridge Analytica,
the defiled and defunct UK-based firm that was accused of manipulating
elections in the US (2016) and the UK (Brexit), wanted to test the accuracy of
its voters’ database. “Do we have their phone numbers?” Nix asked. Yes, he was
told. He reached for the speakerphone, and dialed one of the numbers from the
list of American voters. A woman said “hello” on the other side. “Hello madam,
I am terribly sorry to bother you, but I am calling from the University of
Cambridge.”
