Compare and contrast with Romney’s disastrous ORCA project.
The negative ominous tone of this article is laughable. Big data, silly conmen valley, mad ave, and all other manipulators have finally achieved their holy grail with this stuff.
They should rejoice.
They are just upset that alternative political movements (brexit, Trump) used this stuff to win.
Most interesting
Most libs are far more outspoken, so much easier to data mine I am sure. I know many conservatives that even on facebook keep such a low profile you would never know. No or too little data out there to mine on people like that. I think that is one thing that caught so many by surprise, liberals were out there in everyone’s face and many conservatives kept quiet but definitely voted.
Data mining libs would be fun, but bet it would be far easier than mining conservatives I would think since they like to let it all hang out and run their mouth.
Paging Hari Seldon...
By the way, thanks for posting, that was actually more interesting than the Dilbert stuff.
After all the Dem autofellatory bragging about Obama's use of targeting data to get out voters, the Dems get overconfident and Trump skunks 'em with their own methods.
The difference between a businessman and a politician. I vote for real world results.
This is all nothing new.
Recall how one of the first BO actions in 2009, was to assign collection of census data under the Executive Branch.
