Why would anyone be surprised at this revelation currently in the news?
That the Internet has become a tool of manipulation of the psychology of
the public for numerous agendas, both political and commercial, is more
than obvious.  The fact that millions of people are voluntarily exposing
intimate details of their personal lives, especially on Facebook, to vast
data mining for the purposes of deep "psychographic" profiling, is naïve
beyond belief.

Read in this article that conservative hedge fund billionaire Robert
Mercer, who was connected to Steve Bannon and Brietbart, was also linked to
funding Cambridge Analytical, which may have assisted in advertising
propaganda to elect Trump:
