Facebook got Donald Trump elected. Specifically, Facebook ads got Donald Trump elected. See Wired’s article from late 2016:

according to President-elect Donald Trump’s digital director Brad Parscale, the social media giant was massively influential… because it helped generate the bulk of the campaign’s $250 million in online fundraising. “Our biggest incubator that allowed us to generate that money was Facebook…”

Over the course of the election cycle, Trump’s campaign funneled $90 million to Parscale’s San Antonio-based firm, most of which went toward digital advertising. And Parscale says more of that ad money went to Facebook than to any other platform. Facebook and Twitter were the reason we won this thing,” he says. “Twitter for Mr. Trump. And Facebook for fundraising.”

You’re now Elizabeth Warren. You’re the Democrat frontrunner according to Betfair. What do you do to make sure the President doesn’t repeat his 2016 success?

Answer: You try to get Facebook to crack down on all political ads. The best-case for you is all political ads get banned, because you’ll be shaking down elites in Silicon Valley and NYC and Hollywood for cash, and a ban will hurt President Trump more than it hurts you. Second-best case: Facebook gets scared about what might happen under a President Warren and starts erecting hurdles and review times and approval processes so the President can’t deploy fast-response ads on Facebook.

Either works. But of course both are dishonest. This is how Warren aims to win.
