37. Life insurance companies DO assess social media histories to evaluate risk

for the purpose of setting premiums. They apparently use algorhithms to search for items of possible interest.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if auto insurers have started doing that also. What's more likely than that the kind of people who'd let a creep like Trump work them up into joining a violent insurgency would be more prone to having accidents than others?
