i get the cynicism, but i also kind of don't.... campaigns win elections, no?
I don't actually accept the premise to be clear that Facebook did decide the election but if you do, I think that would be troubling. There's a big difference between saying campaigns win elections and saying specifically your Facebook strategy should decide elections
Could you elaborate on the difference? Times change, and so do campaigns - it's not about phone calls & posters as it is about digital marketing. And Facebook is one part of that. If the strategy is successful, then it could potentially swing an election?
1. the consolidation within a particular company rather than general practices like phone calls and posters should be alarming. 2. Facebook specific political ad critiques have been made elsewherehttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/28/technology/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-political-ads.html …
Right but you yourself reject the premise that Facebook didn’t decide the election. And in fairness to Boz, a digital ad campaign includes things like Trump’s rallies, tv appearances, and tweets. I agree his wording could’ve been better, but it was internal?

Kim-Mai Cutler added,
Right exactly, I just don’t see how that’s any different from saying TV elected a president 20 years. This goes back to the JFK/Nixon debate, and probably even further!
(Heh probably more than 20 years ago, I might be losing my sense of time....
)
it just seems you are begging the question with "campaigns win elections" The question is should Facebook change its policies so campaigns campaign more justly/democratically/virtuously Saying this is how campaigns work now just skips the debate about how it ought to be
Or just less mendaciously.
There were also regulations in the TV era. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine …
Yup! Though I think you’re also aware of the trickiness around that regulation, in particular. I do think things should change, but I doubt if, things were different, that the result would be too
