This is really great (and by great I mean terrifying to see it all laid out plainly). The only nitpick is the idea that the model "is coming to europe next" ... as if this whole thing wasn't kicked off by Brexit and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Europe was the testing bed for this a decade or more ago.
Yeah Brexit was a test run. Great Summary by Carole Cadwalladr "The great British Brexit Robbery" (published by the Guardian, de-published following pressure by Google, I guess, but can be found on the net).
I was completely spooked by the fact that these Brexiteers were using language in a Nazi-like way. At one point a former Thatcher minister was booed out of a conservative party assembly which shouted "he is a traitor!".
