“I think what is happening in America is they are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state.” Carole Cadwalladr, the award-winning journalist behind the Substack newsletter “How to Survive the Broligarchy,” talks to Jon Stewart about how the U.S. government ignored the huge wake-up call that was the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook data breach scandal – a story Cadwalladr broke and which resulted in no legislative protections for citizens’ private data. She warns about the unregulated dangers that data-mining and AI pose to individual privacy and freedom, and what people and institutions can do to push back on big tech’s authoritarian agenda. #DailyShow #JonStewart #CaroleCadwalladr

Carole Jane Cadwalladr (/kædˈwɒlədər/; born 1969) is a British author, investigative journalist, and features writer. She was a features writer for The Observer and formerly worked at The Daily Telegraph.[1] Cadwalladr rose to international prominence in 2018 for her role in exposing the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal, for which she was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, alongside The New York Times reporters.[2]
Early life
Cadwalladr was born in Taunton, Somerset,[3][4] and raised in South Wales.[5] She was educated at Radyr Comprehensive School in Cardiff,[6] and Hertford College, Oxford.[7]
Career
Cadwalladr's debut novel, The Family Tree, was shortlisted for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award, the Waverton Good Read Award, and the Wales Book of the Year. It was also dramatized as a five-part serial on BBC Radio 4.[8] In the US, it was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice. The Family Tree was translated into several languages including Spanish, Italian, German, Czech, and Portuguese.
As a journalist, her work in the second decade of the 21st century has focused on issues related to technology. She has, for example, interviewed Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia.[9]
Starting in late 2016 The Observer published an extensive series of articles by Cadwalladr about what she called the "right-wing fake news ecosystem".[10]
:{:{Anthony Barnett wrote in the blog of The New York Review of Books about Cadwalladr's articles in The Observer, which reported malpractice by campaigners for Brexit, and the illicit funding of Vote Leave, in the 2016 EU membership referendum.}:
She has also reported on alleged links between Nigel Farage, the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election that has been investigated in the United States.[10] Regarding the Trump presidential campaign allegation, although the full report remains unpublished, the Mueller investigation "identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign".[11]
Before Cambridge Analytica closed operations in 2018, the company took legal action against The Observer for the claims made in Cadwalladr's articles.[12]}:
:{:{In April 2019, Cadwalladr gave a 15-minute TED talk about the links between Facebook and Brexit, entitled "Facebook's role in Brexit — and the threat to democracy".[13] It was one of the opening talks of TED's 2019 conference and Cadwalladr called out the 'Gods of Silicon Valley – Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Jack Dorsey' by name. She accused Facebook of "breaking" democracy, a moment described as a 'truth bomb'.[14]}:
TED's curator Chris Anderson invited Mark Zuckerberg to come and give his response, an offer he declined. Anderson later listed the talk as one of the best ones of 2019.[15] According to Cadwalladr, the founders of Facebook and Google were sponsoring the conference and the co-founder of Twitter was speaking at it.[16] She summarized her speech in an article in The Observer: "As things stood, I didn't think it was possible to have free and fair elections ever again. That liberal democracy was broken. And they had broken it." The speech was applauded.[17][18] Some of the "tech giants" criticized the talk for "factual inaccuracies", but when invited to specify them, they did not respond.[16][18]}:
Cadwalladr criticised the takeover of The Observer by Tortoise Media. In February 2025, the Press Gazette reported that Tortoise Media had declined to renew her freelance contract, despite its agreement with the National Union of Journalists that all freelance contracts would be renewed for at least one year.[19]
Banks v Cadwalladr libel case
Arron Banks initiated a libel action against Cadwalladr on 12 July 2019.
:{:{Banks had objected to her claim, notably in her TED talk,[20] that he had lied about "his relationship with the Russian government}:".[21] According to The Guardian, "Banks's lawyers argued this meant there were strong grounds to believe he would assist the interests of the Russian government, against those of the British government, in exchange for that money." Cadwalladr's lawyers had argued this meant there were reasonable grounds to investigate. However, the judge concluded that, in context, the TED talk and the related tweet meant that "on more than one occasion Mr Banks told untruths about a secret relationship he had with the Russian government in relation to acceptance of foreign funding of electoral campaigns in breach of the law on such funding".[22]
The judge had earlier cautioned that "broadcasts and public speeches should not be interpreted as though they were formal written texts",[23] and "emphasised that the ordinary reader or listener would not minutely analyse possible interpretations of words like a libel lawyer".[22] Cadwalladr said of the judge's "meaning" that she had never said the words and not claimed in any article that Banks had accepted funding.: “These are not words I have ever said. On the contrary, I’ve always been very clear that there is no evidence that Banks accepted Russian funding”.[24] She described the experience of having to defend the meaning of words she'd never said, as "kafkaesque": ^[25]}:
Press Gazette, the UK journalism industry paper, said "That she had to face this battle alone for four years reflects poorly on the two publishers involved in the case: Guardian News and Media and TED, a non-profit organisation in the US that is dedicated to the spread of ideas." ^[26]
In a High Court ruling on 13 June 2022, Banks' case was dismissed: the judge concluded that Cadwalladr had a reasonable belief that her comments were in the public interest.[27] Press freedom groups had expressed alarm at the lawsuit,[28] describing the case as a SLAPP suit “intended to silence Cadwalladr's courageous investigative journalism”;[28] however, the judge said that it was neither fair nor apt to describe it as such, because Cadwalladr had “no defence of truth”, and her defence of public interest had “succeeded only in part”.[29] On 24 June 2022, the High Court granted Banks leave to appeal on a question of law relating to the "serious harm" test.[30]
In February 2023, the Court of Appeal rejected two of Banks’ challenges, but ruled in his favour that continuing publication of the April 2019 TED Talk, after the Electoral Commission published a report on 29 April 2020 that found no evidence of Banks breaking the law in relation to campaign donations, had caused "serious harm" to Banks' reputation. The Court ordered that damages should be assessed for the harm incurred between 29 April 2020 and the date of the High Court ruling in June 2022.[31][32]
Press Gazette, the trade industry paper, said: "It has all been a huge price to pay for a freelance journalist who has been attacked over a statement that stemmed from investigative journalism into the activities of the biggest political donor in UK political history. And it is a judgment that means Banks, and others like him, will be protected in future by a sort of cloak of invisibility. When the risks are so high, most publishers will choose less risky targets for their investigations." It urged the newspaper industry to support her because of the chilling effects of the ruling: "And it is now beholden on all news publishers to support Cadwalladr in any future appeal to the Supreme Court because the judgment against her threatens to gag us all."[33]
On 28 April 2023, Cadwalladr was ordered by the court to pay Banks £35,000 in damages by 12 May 2023.[34] She was further ordered to pay more than £1m in costs.[35] In May 2023 Cadwalladr unsuccessfully sought permission to appeal to the Supreme Court against the costs order.[36][37] In November 2023, Cadwalladr's lawyers announced that they would be taking the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.[38]
Other
Cadwalladr is a founder of "The Citizens", a journalism and campaigning not-for-profit organisation registered as a UK-based private company limited by guarantee.[39] The organisation is made up of journalists, filmmakers, advertising creatives, data scientists, artists, students, and lawyers. It aims to "power movements that confront the unchecked power of Big Tech and states" through storytelling.[40]
In 2023, Cadwalladr published an open letter praising Carol Vorderman for speaking out about "corruption and the chancers, embezzlers, spivs, and hustlers who've been accused of making millions out of government contracts – and the ministers who've enabled them... no one else is doing it" and speaking "as if women had the right to live their lives without having to give a toss about societal expectations".[41]

Take my hand and come with me down into information dystopia...
Carole Cadwalladr
Jan 01, 2025
Happy New Year!
I wanted to do a quick update largely because Asif Kapadia’s 2073 is in cinemas across the UK today and tomorrow and it’s being screened with a Q&A that we did a few weeks ago at the end.
There’s a great new website for the film here. And you can find where it’s playing here. It’s streaming on Amazon and elsewhere from January 6 but it does make a difference seeing it on the big screen and although our future technoauthoritarian dystopia might not be the vibe that anyone of us want going into 2073, it’s arguably the one we’re going to get.
This is going to be such a pivotal year with a news agenda that will feel like being in a spin cycle of a washing machine. These days of relative quiet during the darkest days of the year (a friend referred to the period between Christmas and the New Year as the “perineum” the other day) feel like the calm before the storm, which they likely are.
One of the voices in the film is Anne Applebaum, a journalist and historian, who’s an essential guides to this present moment. Her latest book, Autocracy Inc, lays out comprehensively but simply how networked autocracies and countries with autocratic features are with one another. These are political and financial technological alliances that link Russia to China to Venezuela to Iran.
Anne’s point is that the bad guys are helping each other out all the time in all sorts of ways. And we’re watching a new US-UK axis being built in real time between Farage and Musk. Wendy Siegelman, a brilliant open-source investigator who had a career in corporate finance before becoming a one-woman kleptocracy exposure machine and who has been a hugely valuable resource and ally helping with my investigations over the years, posted this week about a disturbing new company she’d found.
X.AI London Ltd was incorporated in the UK’s Companies House on December 12. And look who’s the person with significant control:
We don’t know what that company is for but if Musk did want to pour £100m into the next UK election, as it’s been reported, this is how he could do it.
Why Musk is so obsessed with Britain and Keir Starmer’s government is its own mystery. Anyone? A residue of his roots in South Africa and a desire to decolonise the coloniser? I’m reaching here…
At the end of Autocracy Inc, Anne Applebaum makes a case for why democracies have to take a leaf out of the bad guys’ playbook and find ways of working together with the first line of attack being against the entire offshore financial system that enables kleptocracies to steal, launder and shelter money. One of the small rays of hope and prompts to action,she cites is Alexei Navalny’s crowdfunded YouTube investigations into corruption:
This was investigative journalism but packaged and designed to move people—to explain to them the connection between the palaces built by distant rulers and themselves—and it worked. Some of the videos received hundreds of millions of views. Now imagine the same project, but backed by democratic governments, media, and activists around the world. Not just investigations, and not just prosecutions, but campaigns to publicize them and to connect them to ordinary people’s lives.
I’ve written before about the genius of these investigations, now led by the scarily brilliant Maria Pevchikh. And, they’re something I’ve thought about repeatedly over the years including when planning the podcast that I launched this week with the Citizens and Peter Jukes who founded Byline Times.
Last week, I explained its origin in a legal case against the UK government that’s winding its way through the European Court of Human Rights but the precipitating factor was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It took place a month after my High Court defamation trial, while I waiting for the verdict, and I was at my bleakest and maddest. Mad with anger and bewilderment at what had happened to me and why. And that documents and evidence spilled out in open court about the funder of the Brexit campaign’s relationship with the Russian government that went almost entirely unreported. And bleak because Britain was utterly complicit in what was happening on the ground in Ukraine.
In the heat of the moment, I had the idea of telling the story of Russian influence in the UK through a narrative podcast in a way that people might finally be able to get: through a real life John Le Carre story of spies and counterespionage. To be honest, it was one of my less genius plans, born out of my trauma and setting up myself up for a major time and energy sink. But crowdfunding it meant it couldn’t be one of my so-called bright ideas that I could quietly drop.
The whole project felt like a millstone until I teamed up with Ruth Abrahams, a freelance audio producer, and Peter and together with Sergei Cristo, its star, we turned it into a fun, creative project that hopefully comes across in the edit.
All of which to say, it’s so wildly unlikely that it would go to the top of the Apple charts on the day that we released it that I hope you don’t mind us taking the win and celebrating it.

trump campaign targeted 3.5 million Black voters for suppression: report
White House
David Badash and The New Civil Rights Movement September 28, 2020
The Trump campaign focused its digital efforts on 3.5 million Black American voters in 2016, targeting them in an effort to deter them from voting.
A new report from the UK's Channel 4, which also helped expose how Cambridge Analytica precisely targeted voters for the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, makes the stunning revelation.
Pointing to "a vast cache of data used by Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign on almost 200 million American voters," Channel 4 reports it has obtained the data, which "reveals that 3.5 million Black Americans were categorized by Donald Trump's campaign as 'Deterrence' – voters they wanted to stay home on election day."
"In 16 key battleground states, millions of Americans were separated by an algorithm into one of eight categories, also described as 'audiences', so they could then be targeted with tailored ads on Facebook and other platforms," Channel 4 reports.
One of the categories was named 'Deterrence', which was later described publicly by Trump's chief data scientist as containing people that the campaign "hope don't show up to vote".Analysis by Channel 4 News shows Black Americans – historically a community targeted with voter suppression tactics – were disproportionately marked 'Deterrence' by the 2016 campaign.
Here's a promotional video from Channel 4, tweeted by the UK investigative journalist who exposed the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Here's video showing Channel 4 actually visiting voters in Wisconsin, and showing them what information the Trump campaign had on them.
The Trump campaign had data on voters' home address, date of birth, jobs, income, and housing status, and matched that to individual people to target them, Channel 4 revealed.
The plan worked."Overall turnout" in one Milwaukie, Wisconsin precinct, "fell from 75% in 2012, to just 56% in 2016."
In another, turnout fell from 81% to 55%.
Trump won the 2016 Electoral College by just 77,000 votes across three states. no lnx twt vid
