Ocasio-Cortez spent at least $4.2 million on Facebook ads in 2019-2020. Almost all these ads simply solicit further donations in a kind of fundraising ouroboros. Her criticism of Facebook could carry more moral weight (at no cost to her!) if she didn't give them so much money.https://twitter.com/JohnHendel/status/1349369497145241605 …

Good numbers. Are there candidates that explicitly boycott Facebook ads? Among candidates that do Facebook ad buys, what's the budget distribution look like? Is Ocasio-Cortez an outlier?

I don't have the global numbers but Ocasio-Cortez is by far one of the biggest spenders on Facebook. The congressmen in her neighboring districts all spent $0. Carolyn Maloney (in NY-12 next door) spent $3,786.
