Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, etc do collect personal data about each of us, but in my view, it is done more as a "collective" type of thing -- done more so to "sell" us things-- to direct advertisements/direct market to us, if you will. Then, there's what comes after the ads trying to convince us we need some new toaster or gadget, and that's the messages, often subtle, that try to change or direct out way of thinking. Political "non-ads" that are designed to look and read like actual news, and a great example of that is Russia's effort to sway public opinion in US elections, most notably the 2016 presidential election. It's just a faster, more direct, more pinpointed and more technologically advanced version of stapling flyers to lampposts.
