Good article in its intent but we need to go a lot further and outright ban the collection of user data in most cases to prevent the manipulation of common people by nefarious actors like the Koch's, Google, the CIA, the New York Times, etc, etc... They are all the same threat. The the real solution is to make data mining and ML algorithms illegal in any area that involves politics or is even tangentially related to it. FUCKING LIE TO THE MACHINES IN THE MEAN TIME
