amok: no one "manipulate your life", your life is very much your own. Yes, they use data for suggestions, data mining, selling of data and so on.

"manipulate your life" may be indeed strong wording to use directly, however, I seem to recall some TV news stating Trump's election was helped by some Social Media manipulation when the Cambridge Analitycs/Bacefook scandal blow over.
