As someone who's worked in text analysis, I'm comforted to see this story told. It's what we should be talking about. Please take the time to read this full article, then go out and do something useful for our world, we're going to need it.
Sorry for the snark, but I call BS on glorification of a technology company that so far has not done anything but strip away almost everyone's privacy.
Fat comfort in that.

(I say this as someone who is in favor of immediate legalization of MJ, and decriminalization of all other drugs, with extensive treatment available for addiction or sub-optimal drug use.)
I'm not saying they're a saving grace, nor that there aren't potential/real problems with what they're doing, but your comment is just patently false.
It is the reading, or rather the reading-between-the-lines, that makes my mood bad.
Now get off my lawn.
