You are mistaken if you think these things are not being done. The only difference is that people with different ideology than yours are doing it.

  Could you point to some, of any ideology? I agree that people of multiple political camps are using technology, but my experience has been that all camps are exploiting rather than empowering people. You seem to be of the opinion that Im advancing a particular political agenda here. This is actually a policy neutral concern -- Im worried about how we're having the debate, not the outcome. (And there are some I know of, like CBT apps and productivity timers, but I don't think they're that effective as engineered. They also don't cover, eg, meta-analysis.)

    I didn't mean to imply anything on your behalf. I just meant you might have missed the use of technology in politics. Because you might not be part of the group (ideology) who are using it. I will not go into the technological details as I am just a end user. But I will say this you are mistaken when you say people are manipulated. I see them as a cost effective way of dispensing your message. People always vote based on their interest. Those can be short term or long term.

      Well, if you're not going to name particular services or technologies, I think we're going to have to leave it at disagreeing -- but I do want to thank you for trying to make sure I'm informed! Have a good one! :)
