This seems to be very bad, and there doesn't seem to be any discussion of this news yet. I guess Cambridge Analytica is eclipsing this.

This is a great point, but recent large leaks (thinking of Equifax and Anthem, but there are probably other comparable leaks) show that the liability involved isn't meaningful.

I've found 1 star reviews to be hugely useful on Amazon. Often have seen detailed contrarian 1 star reviews for books that have nearly a 5 star average and found very interesting viewpoints. This works especially well when you're
