He believes in the whole Andrew Breitbart doctrine that politics is downstream from culture

wtf THAT's the breitbart doctrine? also stolen from ...

Anyway looks like the problem here is simple - they claim that all the data they used was totally legal but it wasn't. But that's just a smoke screen and an easy way to differentiate this marketing from Obama marketing.

Like, if all the data CA used was legal, would it be okay? Obviously not. People are afraid of the mass personal data being used against them. That happens legally and illegally, and it's not one kid's fault. Facebook and and other companies have all this data bundled up and ready to sell. Anyone can buy it or even hack it. Anyone can do this manipulation. That pandora's box will never close. Unless people stop giving away all their information for free...

That being said, it's also dumb for Wylie to be presented as a kid who let his tech get away from him. He described from the beginning how he worked with information warfare, on the same level as land and air warfare. He knew he was waging actual, literal war. He knew he was making weapons. It's not an accident that his data nuke blew shit up.

But the focus on Wylie here seems pretty dangerous overall. He can be blamed but only as a member of a massive global machine that is conducting these wars. After all, this is exactly the kind of article an information warlord would put out to divert all their blame to one scapegoat kid.
