This is a normal post Actually, that article doesn't dispute the what, merely the how
They're still saying that the data was collected, analysed and used in very shady ways (e.g. voter suppression through "dark posts").

All that article says is that other organisations could have supplied the data, which is akin to complaining about the label on the bottle and not the contents.

This is a normal post But 'data' isn't magic.
It. Is. All. Bollocks.
He didn't win because the vote was suppressed. He didn't win because he knew more than Hilary (who was using exactly the same big data snake oil salesmen). He didn't win because a few shady billionaires were backing him (Hilary had plenty too).
His campaign had the square root of fuck all to do with analysing trends.
This is Alex Jones stuff.

This is a normal post Ironic that this new cabal of anti-globalists have no problem trying to create a globalized political "movement."
One might think all this bemoaning of "our sovereignty" is a red herring.

This is a normal post It's almost impossible not to leave a digital fingerprint these days.
The best you can do is pollute it rendering it useless.

Change usernames, visit random sites, share amazon and ebay accounts with family.

Do not use a store card, it's primary purpose is for the store to create a profile of you to target more crap."nectar points" are worth fuck all.

VPN's and "private browsing" are not just for porn.
Not perfect but if you're up to something that would necessitate bypassing those measures then you've got bigger problems.

This is a normal post It's also historical use that can catch you out.
Ross Ulbricht, for example. Took all the precautions under the sun to hide his identify. Now spending his life in prison for once posting his email address on a forum years ago.
