Abstract

In March 2018, whistleblower Christopher Wylie disclosed that the British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica purchased Facebook data on tens of millions of Americans without their knowledge in order to build a “psychological warfare tool” on behalf of clients who intended to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor (1).

“Awareness is an effective weapon against many forms of identity theft.”

– U.S. Federal Trade Commission (April 2007)

“As we go through our lives we create vast amounts of data. It’s more than just data. It represents our actions, interests, intentions, communications, relationships, locations, behaviors and creative and consumptive efforts.”

– The Locker Project (May 2011)

“I divide the entire set of Fortune Global 2000 firms into two categories: those that know they’ve been compromised and those that don’t yet know.”

– Cybersecurity Executive Dmitri Alperovitch (August 2011)

“There are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those that will be. Even that is merging into one category: those that have been hacked and will be again.”

– FBI Director Robert Mueller (March 2012)

“Advertising that respects privacy is not only possible, it was the standard until the growth of the Internet.”

– Apple (November 2020)

“Advertising is essential to keeping the web open for everyone, but the web ecosystem is at risk if privacy practices do not keep up with changing expectations. People want assurances that their identity and information are safe as they browse the web.”

– Google Product Manager Chetna Bindra (January 2021)
