- by its very nature, the idea of providing each and every individual with a ready-made tool for gossip, for dissembling, for outright fictions about their own reality and lives, and for spreading uncorroborated rumors and innuendo about their acquaintances, even friends and family--that idea seems to constitute the very definition of a "creepy" enterprise, regardless of what it is purported to be, or how technologically advanced it is constructed, or how much wealth it brings to its owner(s)!

Epstein has done important work on using search engines to manipulate elections invisibly. Manipulation by order of results, by autocomplete. A starting point is his webpage http://drrobertepstein.com/index.php/internet-studies.
Dr Epstein has impeccable establishment credentials. Former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today. His work on elections was published in Proceedings of the National
