Harris Media can address the issue of access, helping AfD bypass German subsidiaries to get ads through. “The team at Harris Media just places quick calls to the companies’ headquarters in Silicon Valley, sources say, where [it’s] very well-networked” texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post…

“AfD is by far the largest far-right party in Germany and has the highest number of Facebook followers” of any party.

“While municipalities with high Nutella usage are more exposed to social media, they are not more likely to harbor right-wing attitudes.” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
