also, for your edit, I'd stand by my claim. SCL might have been running ads (I have no idea if they did), and those ads could've made a small but important difference. But I don't believe that the software CA claims to have built had any impact in running those hypothetical ads at all.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoThanks for your opinion on this. I suspect personally that they were only one small part of it. Mainly because there was so many other things going on, such as the acquiring of much of the Labour Party's election data by Election Data Limited, after the company was pinched from UKIP by Labour https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/nov/10/labour-party-ukip-data-ian-warren https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/nov/10/labour-part... https://libertystratcom.org/2018/04/30/brexit-breach-labour-data-was-shared-with-leave-eu-and-cambridge-analytica/ https://libertystratcom.org/2018/04/30/brexit-breach-labour-... Who exactly in the Labour party thought it was a good idea to pinch an election strategy firm from UKIP, that chooses to trade under the name EDL, is beyond me.
- nooron 7y agothanks for listening, inflatableDodo! I'm glad I was able to share my perspective with you.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoYou mentioned being in the same space. Does your stuff work?
- nooron 7y agoFair question, yes it does. We've pivoted quite a bit so where we landed has nothing to do with optimizing ads for campaigns, even though it's where we started. What we sell now is much closer to "Slack for political and nonprofit organizing", and it works very well for helping our clients retain their volunteers!
