I don't think it's a fair comparison, people weren't (or at least, fewer people were) screaming fake news back then. It's not micro-targeting or advertising that has people riled up, it's the way it is being been used.
- vanattab 9y agoExactly my point! People are not upset by "psychometric advertising" they are upset that the other side making use of the technique. If you honestly think both sides don't use the technique to engage in despicable disinformation campaigns you've probably already drank a fatal dose.
- wu-ikkyu 9y agoThe people seemingly screaming "fake news" the most in recent times are the same people vanattab is referring to as being misleading. People have always been screaming something synonomous to "fake news" against the other side.
