    Thread on microtargeting on Facebook during the Brexit campaign. (Basically preposterous and brazen lies and baseless fear-mongering, efficiently sent to vulnerable populations—with no means to counter since only Facebook knew what was circulating and they were getting paid).https://twitter.com/Nealb2010/status/1059082076778041344 …

    Most, if not all of these ads would not even have been seen by those of us who supported Remain. So nobody refuted all of this stuff because we didn't know people were targeted with this in secret on an individual basis.

        A crucial aspect of the problem. Even if you believe in facts and are willing to refute the falsehood, never aware of their circulation (at least thru social media).

        With fraud surrounding Brexit campaign, most vulnerable targeted & a whole lot more, @EU_Commission is not the panacea either & is responsible for everyday EU citizens' disenchantment with their rule! Not least, the Catalans, with their legitimate govt in jail or exile! @KRLS @FT

        During the 2016 campaign there was a group on Facebook pushing Hillary Clinton’s “superpredator” comments at African-Americans. It would be very interesting to see what other stuff was going on on Facebook then.

        Maybe such an article would pop up like "people vs. governments on the planet" since people do not act as their government even if they had voted for them. Is that an issue with running systems? Imo, exacty!

        Shady stuff on Twitter as well. Clinton said Brexit was a practice run. I think she's right.https://twitter.com/WistyEL/status/874348753829806080 …

        #brexit was rigged. This chart uses data from @truthyatindiana. It shows brexit trending far higher than US election tags and #ge2017. pic.twitter.com/p1iTWtXOYf

        Good thread, if I was a ruthless marketeer, this is how I would target people. But I would not stoop so low. And this is why the leave side won. They were prepared to go where others fear to tread.
