I am still confused as to how democracy is threatened by any of this complete horse shit of a scandal. "micro-targeted" ads? You mean advertising to a person and not a group of people? So, instead of saying "this guy like this stuff", the ads say "this guy like the brand you buy"?
I am just lost on how any of this crap played any kind of outcome in any voter choice anywhere.
Did the ads lie to people?
Did the ads vote for people?
Whats the deal?
To believe any of this crap is to believe that people are forced at gunpoint by an ad to vote a certain way.
trying to change people is one of the problems with society in general. people can only change themselves. if you think you changed somebody, you didn't, they changed themselves.
