Facebook stops sending staff to help political campaigns

21 September 2018

Facebook will no longer send employees to work at the offices of political campaigns during elections, the company has announced.

The social network used to offer dedicated staff to political campaigns to help them develop their online advertising campaigns.

Donald Trump's digital director for the 2016 presidential election has said Facebook's assistance helped him win.

Facebook said rival Hillary Clinton was offered the same support, but declined.

The social network is the second largest online advertising broker, behind Google.

There is no doubt in my mind that if he had run he would have used the same dirty tactics x100 to get elected.

Until someone exposes that they are doing exactly that again.

Zuckerberg is as big a liar as Trump.

Zuckerberg was an asshole then and now. There is no friggin way I would ever vote for him. And I no longer use Facebook because his company lies and uses our pages to social profile us via Cambridge analytica. No longer will I let them know what I am doing.
