you _are_ aware that you can pretty easily tell sexual orientation, political positions and other personal, private and non-obvious personality traits from an individual's interaction in FB (likes, shares, comments)?

and you are aware the NSA has far reaching access into the FB data pool?

this possibility to filter out "the gays" or "the trans" mixes very poorly with say, DeSantis or Trump concepts of a clean and neat and ordered country.

_that_ is the concern of the EU.

the perfectly legal processing of personal data in the US, which is meeting all US regulations. "Kleinman. ls that with an ''ei'' or an ''ie''?"

we may agree to disagree but I think this is orders of magnitude more concerning than microtargeting political campaigns (brexit & co)

and _that_ already is bad.
