I can’t believe this tweet isn’t going viral. Do people not really care that Facebook may have systematically charged the Clinton campaign an order of magnitude or two more than it was charging Trump to reach American voters? (Which is not allowed in other mediums by law.)https://twitter.com/parscale/status/967516077956755457 …

At a fraction of the cost of more centrist, moderate messaging — which has implications for democracy and governance at large.

Ok, but I don’t think extreme/centrist is structurally baked into the pricing. If in the next election, everyone decides extremist ads are best, the targeting will get bidded up higher than centrist ads. There are more factors here than AGM’s simplified description made it sound.

It definitely seems reasonable that all politic ad material, price paid, and targetting requested should be information that's required to be published by the campaign.

^This. Because why is it so much cheaper to spread lies than spread the truth?

You mean the public should have access to understanding how FB and other paid ads are seen. Traditional media restraints on political ads assured equal access to the media, not the data of consumption.
-
Prints ads were predicated on space and data was based on circulation. Broadcasting was based on time and reach. What you're asking for is a transparent way of understanding what access looks like and how that standard is applied across platforms.
