I’m not a Trump supporter, but in the most recent Danish election, the platform that saw the most campaigning funds by all Danish political parties (and we elect quite a few) was Facebook. Most campaigning funds by a lot, mind you. This has been an increasing trend since Obama.
We’ve even got studies that show, that Social Media are easily the platforms where you buy the most influence per money spent.
Of course with no oversight and no public record of what gets shown to whom, unlike all other forms of political campaigning in Denmark, we do kind of put our election results in the hands of a single American billionaire.
It’s no secret that I don’t think our elected officials should get off these platforms, but they are obviously not going to do so when they are so powerful mediums, which means we need to regulate them.
