Democracy rely on people being able to vote for those who best represent their interest.

when company sell people's profile and allow political parties to target them with personalized advertisement,

When journalists are allowed to be completely biased that no one trust them anymore,

When fake news are allowed to be spread across social networks without any obstacle,

You remove people's right to make an educated vote on who is best going to represent their interest.

So yeah chrome, Google and other data harvester are part of the problem with some social network and the unregulation of such an important democracy tool that is journalism.
