That is possible and can be done or was done.

I remind you the recent controversial Facebook emotions study.

Believe whatever you believe however some technical possibilities are out there.
I don't think anyone doubts the technological feasibility. It is simply illogical to think anyone cares enough to do so -- or if they do, and it matters, you will hear about it just like we hear about pbook Bowdlerization.

Probably becase the editor is bragging and considers it a plus.
