Abstract:
Picking up where Netflix’s original documentary The Great Hack (2019) leaves off, David Carroll takes a deep dive into the legal process and data forensics that resulted in the only criminal conviction of the British company behind Cambridge Analytica by its regulator, serving as a stress test of the data protection regime and a parable to guide further reforms and enduring implications for Election 2016 and beyond.
