## **How does it play out**
|
||||
|
||||
Let's review some history of such forced (or not) collaboration:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Cambridge Analytica and Governments (UK/US, 2010s)
|
||||
Cambridge Analytica, a UK private firm legally obtained access to a first layer of facebook users, then, leveraging the broken (perhaps on purpose) privacy model of facebook obtained data from all those users friends and contacts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This data was then used by US and UK politicians for political campaigns.
|
||||
|
||||
### AT&T and the NSA (Room 641A – USA, early 2000s)
|
||||
|
||||
As revealed by Mark Klein, AT&T had installed a secret room (Room 641A) in one of its buildings where the NSA tapped into global internet communications.
|
||||
|
||||
### IBM and Nazi Germany (1930s–1940s)
|
||||
|
||||
IBM, through its German subsidiary Dehomag, provided punch-card technology that was used by the Nazi regime to identify and track Jews and other persecuted groups.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fiat and the fascist government of Italy (1920s-1940s)
|
||||
|
||||
In exchange for outlawing unions, steering investment towards companies owned by friends of the regime and constricting the workers negociating power, Mussolini obtained support from industrialists and companies (such as Fiat)
|
||||
This support was through the media, the forced indoctrination of workers, privately funded government propaganda and militaristic developments those organizations wouldn't have undertaken without such influence.
