      Facebook and Google make money from a personalized, opaque information flow at a scale of billions. It's time for oversight and disclosure.pic.twitter.com/Yxynjwt11a

      Our politics is already corrupted by money and now, thanks to tech platforms, visibly corrupted parts are becoming.. secretly corrupted.

          When I called for disclosure of political ads on FB in 2012, many Dems (who benefited then) thought I was a curmudgeon or a partisan. Nope.

          Many Dems argued with me that data and data science would always be on their side... I said this will go to the highest bidder. Always does.

          It's like the automotive before seat belts & emission controls. Regulation, disclosure & oversight will be good for the world and industry.

          Here's a good thread. This is what happens when you build an ad-infrastructure and turn it over to politics naively. https://twitter.com/David_Ingram/status/905839178814033920 …
