A senior official singled out a Facebook employee embedded with the Trump campaign as an “MVP.” Now James Barnes is working for the other side. wsj.com/articles/how-f…
Good to know.
“Like other tech com­pa­nies, Face­book divvies up its po­lit­i­cal ad sales team by party. GOP em­ploy­ees usu­ally work w/ GOP clients; De­moc­rats work w/ De­moc-rats. Mr. Barnes was part of the team that ex­clu­sively dealt with Re­pub­li­cans.”

And NO ONE is surprised.

“Five states — Florida, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas — have not set up “complete count committees” that would create public awareness campaigns to encourage people to fill out the census questionnaires.” apnews.com/7ec3a4af1a364f…
“Of the holdout states, all but Louisiana have Republican governors.”
“Twenty-six state governments are appropriating nearly $350M to reach ppl and get them to respond to the census. The amounts range from California’s record $187M to Montana’s $100,000. New York City is committing $40M.

There u have it. Facebook’s “MVP” from Project Alamo.

“Barnes became the Trump campaign’s go-to resource for figuring out how to maximize those tools. In April 2016, after a wknd at the Coachella music festival in CA, he & his manager flew to San Antonio to meet w/ Parscale...”
"In Parscale’s office, and later at Bohanan’s, a local steak house, they discussed how Facebook could help the campaign."
"Barnes frequently flew to Texas, sometimes staying for 4 days at a time & logging 12-hour days. By July, he was solely focused on the Trump campaign. When on-site in the bldg that (was) Trump campaign’s digital HQ in San Antonio, he sometimes sat a few feet from Parscale."

some salience here but the thing it misses is any product discussion whatsoever

for *years*, the entire point for ad-supported networks was to make paid ads indistinguishable from organic content

(fwiw i am not for or against either "side")

wsj.com/articles/the-f…
this was the basis of the employee open letter which — if the WSJ ed board had read it closer — was primarily a host of suggestions to tweak the product

nytimes.com/2019/10/28/tec…
instead, much of this discussion has been flattened into "either you are for or against censorship" — a false dichotomy

2) Here is the spreadsheet where I'll put information that is date-specific. Let's see if that works as a supplement to the thread.

🔑DOJ Probes Whether Jho Low, the Fugitive Financier Supplied Donation to Trump Re-Election Effort

🔑Justice Department investigates whether the $100,000 contribution came from Malaysian businessman charged in a global scandal

The $100,000 donation was made in December 2017 to the Trump Victory committee—which is involved in helping re-elect President Trump in 2020—by Larry Davis, a U.S. citizen who co-owns LNS Capital, a Hawaii-based investment company.
