> It already is possible to algorithmically deduce who people are voting for.
YES, it is! Therefore, in all honesty, the foundations of democracy have already been eroded -- thanks Obama/Osama/Bush/Clinton/Trump/whoever -- it will take a few years for ordinary people to grok this.
While that happens it is our duty to make people around us understand this without getting them all hassled up or making anyone feel left out in the conversation.
> I am not benefiting from surveillance. I am a game developer and engineer. I see things from that perspective.
Good to hear that. There is nothing wrong if you were in fact. Smart entrepreneur et al. ;)
> We just ceded our government to a guy who won by way of asymmetric information. We had his opponent's taxes and emails, but we didn't have his. How can candidates be judged fairly in a situation like that?
Totally agree!
I'm glad that this discussion is even happening right now. Judgement of candidates (fair/unfair) is still due -- we're clearly in a bet right now. I believe that each comment here is a step towards making more and more people aware about where things really are today.

It's clearly a mess.
