Investigative Reporter Carole Cadwalladr in conversation with Prof. Mark Danner

In the most stunning case of political manipulation of the digital era, a British consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica, hijacked data from a staggering 50 million Facebook accounts to sway both the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the UK Brexit vote. The unprecedented assault on personal privacy was exposed through the explosive investigative work of Carole Cadwalladr, reporter for London’s Observer and Guardian newspapers, which triggered congressional hearings and the growing public mistrust in the motives and methods of the tech sector, and which is now the subject of the critically acclaimed documentary film, “The Great Hack.”

Carole was the 2020 Esther Wojcicki Visiting Lecturer, and gave a public talk on Feb. 27 on the abuses she found–and the prospects for the next Great Hack.
