"Madam President, we are now seeing a giant, international cyber attack wreak havoc on private and public computer systems across the world, including the National Health Service in the UK. This is a wake—up call on the need to invest in our e-government systems and cyber security.
In the meantime, there is a real risk to our very democracy that comes from harvesting and analysing online data. New technologies enable secretive, private companies to target social media users and determine what information they see. The
journalist Carole Cadwalladr has exposed worrying links between the far right, the Brexit Leave campaigns, Donald Trump, the Russian Government and technology companies owned by the Conservative billionaire Robert Mercer. It appears that the funding of electoral campaigns is opaque and under the radar, provoking legal questions.
As we seek to protect our governments and democracies, we must take action to adapt our laws in order to prevent such unethical manipulation of voters online, and instead use online platforms for open and transparent democratic debate."@en1
