https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4808035/googles-election If all the tech companies work together it’s estimated they can move up to 15 million votes in 2020. What are people would Google think about this? The stakes are definitely raising
🥩 mmm stakes
Now compare Fox and CNN. This is old-media upset that new-media is moving in on their territory.
No, and according to the behavioral science this is a much more potent effect. These platforms know your political leanings in your likelihood to vote. So you can collectively nudge those that you want to get up and suppress those that you don’t. This is a new capability that’s never existed before in the history of democracy
It might be more potent but how does that compare to traditional media which has a way broader and more pervasive reach? I’m including print, cable news, local news, advertising, Hollywood, etc.
Don’t give a shit. As long as this shit works against trump.
Wonder how many Russia moved
It completely circumvents all existing campaign finance laws and election interference rules. I mean regardless of where you stand this is a threat to democracy if we still pretend to care about that
Ad company influences public opinions? Who would have guessed?
So if true hilary only won by 500k votes!?
As someone who works at Facebook, What are you think about these implications? Is it OK as long as it’s against Trump, or any conservative?, Or any anti- corporate advertiser interest? This is too big to sweep under the rug, the attention is only going to grow from here.
Tech isn't against conservatives, I dont buy into that meme or political complaint at all. I was joking because even if this were true 2.5m votes wouldn't have made a difference.
Troll
It’s definitely not a troll, a self-described public advocate for Hillary is the professor of behavioral science raising the alarm. Is anyone at google aware of this? Or is it really just defeat Trump worry about the totalitarian police state that we’ve created later?
You are being a moron. Not that it's a good thing, but corporations having strong influence over public opinion is centuries old. What do you think TV, radio, and newspaper was doing back then?
Yeah we called it yellow journalism and it’s looked back upon as negative
