I wonder if the GDPR had any effect, but I hope it will change things. Annoying users is better than letting the whole data hoarding keep happening.

At least california introduced a bill, too.

I'm really curious where all of this will lead to. I wonder how many people are informed that brexit and the trump election were carried by big data. I'm also curious if Obama got help from those big data techniques, I remember he used facebook, but I don't have details.
