doing it with personalised and focused fake news is a whole revolting level
And if you think that's somehow acceptable then you really are so badly wrong.
They aren't informing people based on their data, they're targeting them for disinformation, makign them more ignorant - for example telling people who are known to have an anti-immigrant bias false things about how immigrants are stealing their jobs and telling them lies about how immigrants use the NHS more than anyone or falsely claim benefits.
These LIES obviously have a massive influence on how these people vote at elections.
It's a f**king disgrace and it's unfair influence of elections.
of course if it's perfectly fair then why did the Leave campaign, and the Trump campaign, to name but two groups of the beneficiaries, lie about how the data was used and do everything possible to obscure what was actually being done?
