Robert Mercer: the big data billionaire waging war on mainstream media
I get the gist of the article, and it is scary.<p>I don&#x27;t recall as much scare when people found out Obama&#x27;s team used machine learning and data collection, as well as Hillary&#x27;s later efforts, to influence voters or gain support.<p>I am not a Trump supporter, nor a Hillary or Obama fan; I am pretty disgusted with the US political system, however, I also recall people praising the IT&#x2F;ML&#x2F;Big Data teams for Obama and Hillary without even a mention of what data they were slinging or collecting.<p>I left FB years ago, and I feel much better for it, especially after reading this article.
