Isn't the Santa Fe Toilet-Paper Orgy theory still alive?

So this article looks like it points to interesting data:
The limitation there will be representativeness of the sample, since there will presumably be some bias structure in who happens to own Kinsa thermometers. However, it seems to me like I remember Cambridge Analytica, or some name like that, using search and social-media data to figure out who was interested in what, by who was looking what up. Can that very big catch-net be used to try to get near-realtime feedback on policy effects? I know there was the big hue and cry about the problems of using all that data, but if I am not mistaken, none of the companies has given any of it up. Since fever-prevalence data need not be localized more tightly than demographic sectors to be incredibly useful, that seems like something that could be well-anonymized, but turned into a feedback tool for policy guidance. Are bigG or FB already doing this? Anybody else? Eric
