Big business owners (Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk) are acting with Trump despite the Cambridge Analytica scandal and are mocking us right in the face

I will start the article with the Cambridge Analytica scandal: If I am not mistaken, this company, which worked on the elections to be held in the USA in 2016, had conducted a project called Project Alamo. At that time, this project spent 1 million dollars a day on Facebook ads. According to the company's statement, they had approximately 5000 data points about all US citizens. These data points mean the data we produce with our digital identities. They sent personalized messages and advertisements to people with the analysis of the data points. The definition of what the company does can be summarized as follows. Who provided these data points to the company? The answer is clear as day: social media platforms. Companies have built a large industry thanks to this. The first company that comes to mind associated with Cambridge Analytica is Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg was tried for this very reason. However, I do not think that they only analyze the data they collect from Facebook. Every digital platform that we are on and receive service from for free turns us into a product and provides money flow. If Cambridge Analytica did not only provide data from Facebook (data provided by Facebook has been proven by the courts), other platforms do this job as well, as we said above.

Representatives and owners of these analysis companies make their presentations to audiences filling large halls, they are proud of their work. Everything is real. You can examine the companies and see them with your own eyes. In the near future, everyone will know these facts, there will be no room for doubt about them. We will be convinced that this is the natural flow of life. The service they will offer you will be summarized as "with our expert data scientists, we provide information about the target audiences you want to reach and how to reach them". These are not words I made up. They were the words that Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix used to introduce his own company.

Alexander Nix focused on building a powerful analysis company focused on elections. He and his company played a role in Obama's campaign with digital propaganda units. Ted Cruz, the Texas senator elected from the US Republican Party, said that he owed the secret of his success to psychological data analysis. Cambridge Analytica was behind this success. Due to the company's success, an agreement was reached between the company and Trump to manage the digital unit of the Trump campaign. We are talking about companies that access the personal data of millions of people and perform psychological analyses on them. With these analyses, it can be predicted who you will or will not vote for. And video content specially prepared for you can change your mind without you even realizing it. These claims are not produced in the content of this article, they are the facts declared by the data analysis companies in their own presentations. This is how they define themselves.

Survey applications were written on Facebook, and if a person filling out these surveys was added to your friends list, they could access all your data without your permission and without your knowledge. So I suggest you think twice before filling out surveys. Such applications were the first methods developed to obtain data points. In other words, Facebook did not simply market your data as we mentioned above when this industry emerged. Surveys and other newly developed methods continued to be used to obtain more specific analyses. Cambridge Analytica tried to use very different methods. Among these, the study conducted in Trinidad (a country in the Caribbean) is a classic because it was one of the first experimental ones. In this country, Cambridge Analytica signed an agreement with the party that mostly the elderly population voted for. Thereupon, they developed the following engineering as a result of their research: they aimed to depoliticize young people and make them anti-voting. In this way, the party that the elderly population wanted to vote for, that is, the party they agreed with, would win the elections. This actually happened. In fact, the apolitical movement in the country has reached such a point that they have turned into a movement that writes their own slogans on the walls of the presidential palace. They painted their logo on the presidential palace. Even though this logo was a logo created by Cambridge Analytica designers a few months ago. Their basic slogan was an empty statement like ‘just do it: don’t vote’. This slogan was also entered by the company for the first time on Facebook as content that young people in the country would see. No one doubted the success of the method anymore. Trump had said that he had 5.9 million separate visual advertisements published on Facebook during his campaign. The campaign that Trump conducted on digital media was again under the responsibility of Cambridge Analytica. They selected undecided regions and sent messages and content that they had specially prepared for US citizens in these regions. So much so that the slogans they prepared for Hilary Clinton became the most shared posts by Trump supporters at that time. When Trump won the election, the company and its team were guests at the celebration. The company proudly announced that it was working not only in the USA but also in countries such as Malaysia, Lithuania, Romania, Kenya, Nigeria, Argentina, Thailand, Colombia, Indonesia, India, Canada, Peru, Italy and Ghana, and added: we have not lost an election yet! Let's add the campaign for England to leave the European Union to the company's activities. Before the company was closed down due to scandals, it had announced that they were involved in 10 such campaigns every year. And let's underline once again that they have never lost a single race they have entered.

Here, we are talking about just one company that has made headlines as a scandal. What about the others? What does this whole system mean, how do the wheels turn, how many of us are prisoners in this system, all of us? And could the system be more than it seems? Take a look at who has made fortunes in the world in the last 10 years. See for yourself which companies are at the top of the list. These companies represent a new generation of bosses who emerged or became well-known 10 years ago. These are the new capital tyrants: digital industry bosses. The era of industries with smoking chimneys is coming to an end. Plastic and oil industries are no longer popular. Because the price of data exceeded the price of oil years ago. Isn't this a very important claim? A claim that the uninterested will not consider possible. We no longer need to dream of a new world, if we watch carefully enough, we can easily see the foundations of the new world being laid because we are living in it.

Now, without going back that far, let's focus on the present. We all saw who attended Trump's famous takeover ceremony. First of all, Elon Musk, who fought like crazy for Trump to win, was there, and as if all his antics were not enough, he also gave the Nazi salute. Jeff Bezos, the owner of one of the richest companies in the world, was there, and of course Zuckerberg, who was tried because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and who openly manipulated the elections by using people's data, was there. Clearly, during Trump's election campaign, a manipulation was carried out with advertisements, especially on the X platform, and with attacks by trolls. This manipulation went so far that I could even see advertisements of crazy Trump supporters on the Deep Web. Now I ask; is Trump's presidency legitimate, working with a person who was tried because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and with people who openly advertised on their own platforms? I am aware that manipulation on social media cannot be prevented under any circumstances, and I know that the world is like this now, but I cannot stand them openly playing with our minds in front of the whole world.

Moreover, we always have to talk about a conflict of interest in such cases. While the world is changing rapidly, why should it be advantageous for companies to promote increasing racism and radical right-wing extremism, which are poor thoughts about the past?
