"Correct the record" should go down in infamy but I'm afraid it will instead become the norm. Where you simply cannot hold a meaningful political conversation over public channels in the lead-up to a presidential election.
- panarky 9y ago> I've heard the number $100,000 thrown around ... The truth is that we don't know the total spend. FTFA: Congressional investigators say the disclosure only scratches the surface. One called Facebook’s discoveries thus far "the tip of the iceberg." If the $100k really is the "tip of the iceberg", and 90% of icebergs are under water, it could be $1M paid ads for Facebook. And that doesn't count the well documented fake news campaign for organic social sharing, which could easily be a multiple of this in spend and impact. Since the election was decided by less than 100,000 votes, it seems plausible that this could have flipped it.
