I watched parts of it. The data mining wasn’t surprising. The algorithms that are driving narratives and creating divisive views was interesting.
Basically, machine learning algos curate more than adds. They try and pick out news stories we are interested in as well as taylor search results using these data. It’s gotten to the point where most of our news feeds are dominated by media and info that meets our confirmation bias. The psychological ramifications are problematic for people that don't realize that social media and personalization services will create an echo chamber.

That was my biggest takeaway. This is what is destroying and dividing first world countries everywhere.

All of this.
We have so much information available to us, we can talk to basically anyone and anywhere at any time, and we use this technology to further entrench ourselves into our little bubbles.
We are tribal creatures and all we are doing is using social media/internet to find out tribes.
Also I find it funny (or frightening) that I have zero political stuff on my FB, but FB has me labeled as "conservative"

Therein lies the story. Not only is it trying to tailor news and viral bullshite being pushed in your face, it's trying to piss people off and get them all riled up.
In 100 years, social media is going to be regarded as the "Assasination of Franz Ferdinand" moment that started the race war.
