Good. He needs to be held accountable for the sheer massive invasion of privacy on a scale completely unprecedented that we don't even have words to describe. I imagine we're going to see some major laws put into place regarding big data privacy/manipulation/influence in the next couple years.

This is rare; we'll see if our politicians see this through or let it drop.
