Thanks for the response. One difficulty of claiming a double standard is that often there isn't a perfect parallel. The Obama and Trump campaigns were different, but I sorry--i dont believe the backlash is because of their campaign strategy but instead their politics. You mention obama being 'positive' but that's very subjective. To other people, Trump is positive and hopeful. And I don't agree that Trumps antics really had much at all to do with Facebook--nevermind social media or the internet at large. When Trump was testing his rhetoric at his gatherings, there wasn't any Facebook around. And the meddling was greatly exaggerated. It's the type of freedom internet paragons all espoused. The internet is international. I didn't know we weren't allowed to comment on foriegn politics (Im not American citizen... Am I interfering right now?). People talked about the internet creating a more democratic society. One where anyone can challenge the elite. Well guess what--thats exactly what happened. We just didn't like what came out when most people started opening their mouth.
