Great read...how about media ? They are playing larger and larger role in how our elections are run. One big media comapny could have indirect affect on how people will feel and behave including governments, armies and nations.

What?! How many news outlets endorsed Trump? How many fired people because they're making less money? Unless Macedonian Facebook spammers count as "media" these days, "the media" has less money, less reach, and less influence every year.
Obviously only evil Trump supporters who hate democracy would distrust the media, though. I mean, haven't you read the news? (Also, one of the complaints in this talk is that Facebook and Twitter don't use their power to control how people feel and behave, so the author likely thinks of the media using this power as a good thing.)
