#Facebook's new political ads policy spells trouble for #2020. FB's only Dutch fact-checker just quit over the new 'lies are ok" policy. If legislators don't tackle this, we won't have a fair #2020 election or impeachment process. @Narativlive theguardian.com/technology/201…
@NarativLive 2. In a series of posts on narativ.org in 2017 I exposed how Facebook became a political propaganda machine to elect #Trump. I detailed how autocrats, theocrats and foreign intelligence disrupted democracy @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom #2020 narativ.org/2017/09/12/fac…
3. Trump+Facebook polarized Americans by amplifying extremism on social issues. I exposed how #Russia and her US church affiliates inflamed tensions over #lgbtq issues on #Facebook. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/09/27/div…
4. Mark Zuckerberg has never publicly addressed concerns I raised about Facebook's relationship with the Kremlin and the billion-dollar stake Russian affiliates have in the company. #WednesdayWisdom @narativlive narativ.org/2017/09/14/fac…
5. Trump+Facebook ran a psychological warfare operation on America. I exposed the operation's eco-system and the key players behind it. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/09/05/psy…
6. They didn't do it alone - through a network of shadowy private intel firms and what appeared to be a voter data laundering operation, Trump+Facebook influenced votes in the 2016 election. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/04/08/dia…
7. As we head into #2020, things have actually gotten worse. Trump's digital spend may reach $1B, their voter database is bigger and Facebook now allows lies in political ads. A fake news propaganda machine the likes of which the world has never seen. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/n…

Why was it so urgent for Trump and Giuliani to get Zelensky to bend to their demands? Were they compromising him so they could get something of greater value later on? Like those LNG contracts? WATCH Part 1 of the @narativelive podcast on #UkraineScheme podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/nar…
Part 2 is here #Ukraine podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/nar…

NEW! Did Devin Nunes have a mole inside the National Security Council directly involved in Trump's #UkraineScheme? Kashyap "Kash" Patel was a senior aide to Nunes before moving to the NSC. 1/ @NarativLive
The impeachment report notes one 25-minute phone call with Rudy Giuliani on May 10 just as the administration grappled with Zelensky's surprise win and days before Trump pulled VP Pence from attending the inauguration. 2/ politico.com/news/2019/10/2…
When Fiona Hill testified before congress, she recalled that Trump at one point thought Patel, and not Hill, was in charge of Ukraine policy. Hill says Patel's involvement was outside his purview as a senior counter-terrorism expert. 3/ msnbc.com/the-last-word/…

Extra! Extra! Read all about. @NarativLive
@NarativLive Breaks down TWELVE significant events in the #UkraineScheme in which Trump or his agents conditioned aid and/or a White House meeting on a public announcement of investigations. The GOP cannot muster a defense on the entire scheme, impossible to see how they will defend 12.
@NarativLive The cause and effect sequence of events is extraordinarily damning. Within hours of Zelensky asking "for a favor though" the OMB starts withholding aid. #UkraineScheme

@NateSilver538 REMINDER [THREAD]: The controversy over foreign influence into the 2016 election involved a debate over whether or not targeted facebook advertising courtesy of Cambridge Analytica & Facebook was more than just an attempt at influencing the election. Was it actually effective? 1/

Facebook makes all sorts of determinations about what ads can run on its platform every day. A page I help manage has run political ads (for issue advocacy) & fallen into the bizarre enforcement policies where things are not approved for some reason and you have to figure out why
Those violations aren't because the content is true/false -dozens of other factors that go into it- but FB does actively manage what it allows to run.

The important question for me WRT the new political ads policy is that it seems to conflict w/the organic misinfo policy...
FB came up with a framework called "Remove/Reduce/Inform" in 2018 in response to viral misinfo, hoaxes, fake news, and disinformation. It's actually a very solid policy. One thing it does is allow for the display of factchecks etc against viral fake content - that's "Inform".

Over the past few months I have collected 500+ Trump, Pence and RNC tracking URLs dating back to June 2016. I've shared bits & pieces of this (⏬) as I've been looking under the hood, in search of the truth behind Project Alamo/Trump marketing ops.

THREAD will be ongoing...
The 500+ links are tracking links. They contain custom variables team Trump/Pence/RNC attached to links so they could measure & analyze performance via Google Analytics.

These are UTM parameters: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_param…

I'll share full URL list once I'm done cleaning it up!
You can learn a lot about a marketing program by examining their tracking links. So here's the 1st nugget:

#1: Trump campaign used Facebook Messenger bots to communicate w/voters 1-on-1.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere. If you have, pls send a link!

Facebook says it sold political ads to a "shadowy Russian company seeking to target voters" during 2016 election.

👀
wapo.st/2gN5NLf?tid=ss…
Facebook traced the political ads to the Internet Research Agency, aka the troll farm based in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Facebook:

In May: No evidence we sold political ads to Russia

In Sept: jk we did & we traced the source to a firm financed by a Putin ally
