Robert Mercer: the big data billionaire waging war on mainstream media
I get the gist of the article, and it is scary.I don't recall as much scare when people found out Obama's team used machine learning and data collection, as well as Hillary's later efforts, to influence voters or gain support.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/ML/Big Data teams for Obama and Hillary without even a mention of what data they were slinging or collecting.I left FB years ago, and I feel much better for it, especially after reading this article.
