The Great Hack

Netflix has a film about how our data is being used, often against us and mostly to profit from us, and also how the right has used companies like Cambridge Analytica (then nation states like Russia and now China and Iran) to win elections nobody thought they could win (in Trinidad Tobago, Ukraine, Brexit, and Trump, for example). I’ve been loosely following these topics for years and it’s a good film if you haven’t yet seen. 

My question is: Should the left use this technology in the same way?

I’m thinking that not doing so is like coming with a knife to a gun fight and that a principled stance against it is a losing stance, that unilateral disarmament is a mistake. 

What do you think?
