    If someone is swayed by instructions to kill themselves, they are, be definition, consuming content they desire.

    That’s a bad argument. Marketing is one thing, manipulation is totally different.

Using people’s private information to each individual exactly what they want to hear about a candidate without regard to the truth is absolutely something that we should be concerned about.
