It's also worth noting that a certain American tech company was responsible for this.

Trump voters
The other groups maybe, but I doubt even Stalin thought the Great Purges would have gone better if he purged 49% of the Soviet Union's population.

Are you implying 49% of the US population voted for Trump? It was closer to 19% of the population (63,000,000 / 326,000,000)

Well, it's more like 19% of the population (or 27% of the eligible voter pop.)
Data collection is what enabled the Nazis to find Jews and homosexuals, the next mass percution can be more specific than race. Anti-vaxers, pizzagaters, people who don't watch anough TV.
As the world becomes more aware of the dangers of algorithms and AI, Facebook engineers are rethinking their career path.
It's clear to me that Zuckerberg was entirely too willing to abuse his power from the start, he doesn't seem to have good intentions at all.
