Práticas da conspiração

Dois trechos da excepcional reportagem do "Guardian" (que você DEVE ler - link ao fim) sobre como as nossas escolhas como democracia são facilmente manipuláveis. Dois trechos que falam diretamente sobre nossa comarca aqui.

"SCL Elections had used a similar suite of tools in more than 200 elections around the world, mostly in undeveloped democracies that Wylie would come to realise were unequipped to defend themselves."

(...)

"Millions of people’s personal information was stolen and used to target them in ways they wouldn’t have seen, and couldn’t have known about, by a mercenary outfit, Cambridge Analytica, who, Wylie says, “would work for anyone”. Who would pitch to Russian oil companies. Would they subvert elections abroad on behalf of foreign governments?

It occurs to me to ask Wylie this one night.

“Yes.”

Nato or non-Nato?

“Either. I mean they’re mercenaries. They’ll work for pretty much anyone who pays.”"
