I m confused, were the Democrats being accused of using manipulative social media ad campaigns in 2016?
- filoleg 7y agoNot sure, but they definitely did it in 2012, back when it was considered cool and forward-looking, to the point of bragging about it in interviews[0]. I don’t blame them for doing it at all, but i definitely feel uneasy about a lot of democrats blaming 2016 elections on cambridge analytica and acting like their party didn’t do it themselves, while also bragging about it publicly. Note: I neither support nor am affiliated with the republican party whatsoever. I also don’t think that cambridge analytica scandal affected the 2016 election outcome in any significant way. 0. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-scandal-trump-election-obama-2012/ https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-...
