ROTFL! Millennials all of a sudden worried about big companies tracking them and their data. It really is funny since most humans with a smartphone have been, tracked, analyzed and watched for years by their smart devices and lesser apps they freely download and use every day. Some prime examples include:
Your camera tracking you and even watching you brush your teeth: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-24/sp…
How about going back to 2015 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CsAUfEjPSD…
Face it, when you run out and buy the newest device, download the newest social app and feel the need to broadcast your every move on Snapcrap, Instascam, Facecrook, TWITter, and the rest, what you are really saying is, “WE ARE THE BORG, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE”. Planatir and Cambridge Analytica are nothing compared to the pandoras box opened long ago to feed your tech addictions that have even resulted in deaths, like taking selfies off cliffs and bridges, playing Pokemon-Go on railroad tracks and driving while texting. For a generation that thinks its so tech savvy and tech smart, it surely acts like a herd of sheep in the headlights now.
Tangentially, isn't it about time for the sextennial intensification of the generally unsupported complaints on SLOG that Maria Cantwell doesn't do anything?
"In [February of 2013], Anonymous hacked into the computer system of the private security firm HB Gary Federal and then posted thousands of emails containing incriminating and nefarious acts. Among them was a joint proposal by that firm - along with the very well-connected firms of Palantir and Berico - to try to persuade Bank of America and its law firm, Hunton & Williams, to hire them to destroy the reputations and careers of WikiLeaks supporters and, separately, critics of the Chamber of Commerce (as this New York Times article on that episode details, I was named as one of the people whose career they would seek to destroy). HB Gary Federal's CEO Aaron Barr, who advocated the scheme, was fired as a result of the disclosures, but continues to this day to play a significant role in this public-private axis of computer security and intelligence."

Fun fact: People forget he was also a speechwriter for insane arch-conservative anti-gay bigot Bill Bennett.
So Thiel, a gay man, wrote rabidly anti-gay propaganda speeches for the secretary of education.
Gandalf: "A PalantĂr is a dangerous tool, Saruman."
Saruman: "Why? Why should we fear to use it?"
[Saruman unveils the PalantĂr. It is a perfectly spherical ball, made of some sort of glass, with strange swirls in its depths.]
Gandalf: "They are not all accounted for, the lost Seeing Stones. We do not know who else may be watching!"
