Yes. But in my view, it misses a part of the picture. It is US-centered. Meta is influent worldwide. Cambridge Analytica was the discovery, in a London office, of the mind mastering of a Barbados FB user. It discovered the power to oust leaders, quell revolutions, tip the scales for a dictator. Everyone speaks about Big Tech submission to Trump, it is the other way round, imo. Big Tech oligarchs, drunk on their power, have decided to reshape humankind's fate.
