    No it’s not. No. This place is the fox news for the left and privacy crazies. You people have done more harm to privacy with your boy who cried wolf bullshit than anybody else. Constant misrepresentation, baseless claims, and constant red flags which have eroded any credibility there message had left.

      one of the test participants, who talked repeatedly about Volvo, did report that they were bombarded by advertising for the brand. This person did not even own a car, nor had they searched the Internet to buy a Volvo or any other kind of car.

    Are we talking about data science??

    There needs to be strict regulation on models used specifically for user manipulation and advertising. Through statistics, these guys know more about you than you do. That’s why it feels like they are listening in.

    Can we have more focus and education around data analysis and public influence? Right now the majority of people don’t even know there is a battle of knowledge and influence that they are losing.
