One thing that occurs to me, that is not mentioned in the article, is the data mining and retention. Companies like Gaggle are no doubt keeping all the data they are getting. It will be sold and used in the future. The data would be a treasure trove for advertisers and political organizations. I foresee a Cambridge Analytica for a new generation.
Also, it may sound like science fiction, but the idea of using machine learning with this and data collected in the future to generate algorithms to predict future behavior and attitudes based on childhood writings and online behavior is probably on these companies drawing boards.
