Worst thing about all of the information on Cambridge Analytica that has come out, is that now I'm skeptical of anything I read on these forums that is even remotely political. I don't know if I'll ever get that trust back, (and maybe I shouldn't, skepticism of what you read on the internet is good), but it makes it pretty clear to me that the original promise of the internet will never be realized with the internet in its current form. The reality is that you can't trust any information gleaned from a forum or discussion website. Even something like HN, which holds itself out to be a little better than most in terms of elevating the discussion, is not immune to professional manipulation.
