I do find it odd that we are being bombarded by increasingly hysterical claims (Carole Cadwalladr seems to have gone particularly mad) about paid-for data mining of social media accounts to help Brexit and Trump, but nobody seems to give a sh1t that the same social media companies are explicitly trying to manipulate political opinion by censoring non-compliant opinions. Sure, they're private companies and it's their right to support whatever political stance they choose. However, it seems odd to freak about one form of covert manipulation of voters while ignoring the other.
