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 …

Yes, it is a matter of public concern, but it is not all that different to dozens of other media channels (including the NY Times) that spread Trump campaign memes *for free*. Trump is a virus that exploited the US media's desire for messy drama.

Editorial content is governed by a whole different set of laws, norms than paid content/advertising is and paid content is *very* meaningful in the context of political campaigns. (And no, I’m not a fan of how 24-7 cable media has affected discourse).

I'm wondering if it amounts to an in-kind contribution from FB to the Trump campaign.

Also the truth in advertising standard to prevent ads that are plainly false or misleading doesn’t apply at all, as it does for Consumer Products ads. Political ads are exempt from that. Clicks rule.

Only to people who want to control what we think and read. Like you. You know SO much better than the peasants do. Absolute control.

It is concerning. But was the cause a function of clickbait or bots flooding any mention of Clinton with awful content that drive pro Clinton groups private, thus restricting the reach of the content?

Very much so! And must become a very hard part of the social discourse going forward because the algorithm rewards course behavior that includes personal attacks, lies, slander, trickery, disinformation, and anti-Americanism. All very destructive to our peaceful social democracy
