I haven't read the entire article, but I find it a bit ridiculous that the author claims that "big data" is allowing the "rise of fascism" in the 21st century. Trump has been known to give the metaphoric middle-finger to big data analytics and marketing [1]; on the contrary, almost every move of Hillary's campaign was dictated by the "advanced" big data engine called "Ada" [2]. While Trump "spent a fraction" of what Hillary did on ads and technology, he did run a paid Facebook strategy [3].

Many government agencies make extensive use of 'big data'. I doubt Trump will stop it.
Note that a reputedly leaked document says that Trump ordered the government "collect and make publicly available within 180 days ... information regarding the number of foreign-born individuals in the United States who have been radicalized after entry into the United States and engaged in terrorism-related acts". [0] They could make many lists without anyone's cooperation.
