In addition to tagging data with XML, I wont go into the misguided use of it in configuration files as its not really quicker creating checks using XML and XLS as a programmer in the "zone" :) Point is that albeit nice, there is no need for something like this to even be in a browser. But by using AJAX it kind of have to be. In addition to advertisers being able to know due to Javascript that the user is present. And since the data is tagged arbitrarily in XML in addition to hashtags and the like, it's a lot less hit and miss for suggestions and advertisement. For example getting flooded with bad things about people working or the US state just because they're in the vicinity of Trump to either reinforce or encourage guilt by association. After you've made a Trump pun for additional effect.

What are you even talking about? Modern web apps don't even use XML anymore, barring a few outliers.

  "Ajax (also AJAX /ˈeɪdʒæks/; short for "Asynchronous JavaScript And XML")" Is this wrong? Only worked with HPC and mostly hardware-software layer.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what AJAX is. I have no idea what you are getting at with the political rambling about metadata and Trump.

  Perhaps, but I know the implications of javascript. This allows mouse and keyboard events from the browser and is the most insecure language known. What concerns Trump is merely that this technically allows political manipulation by having a short and cheap route to be able to do just that.

    It is of academic interest in looking at media availability across the spectrum for character attacks against Trump and those seen nearby with little or no relevance outside of humour. This actually is meddling by influencing public opinion both inside and outside the country. If this influences news outlets intended to deal with facts and information it is proof that advertisement in social media is a threat to freedom of expression, to be heard and healthy functioning of democracy. Have a social media idea of my own, with local education. Hierarchy using hashtags and who's following who on certain topics. For additional economic opportunities if construction is started somewhere. And advertisements and information for relevant things like concerts where there are community contacts that can follow up and take charged for really making it work, rather than relying exclusively on mass market advertisements and manipulation.
