Publisher Marketing: Uncover the hidden systems created by the most powerful tech companies in the world that are determined to stop Donald Trump. Journalist Allum Bokhari has spent four years investigating the tech giants that dominate the Internet: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. He has discovered a dark plot to seize control of the flow of information, and utilize that power to its full extent--to censor, manipulate, and ultimately sway the outcome of democratic elections.

They reveal secret methods to covertly manipulate online information without us ever being aware of it, explaining how tech companies can use big data to target undecided voters.
