From BBC4, How the Black Vote was Suppressed in 2016

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=617&v=KIf5ELaOjOk&feature=emb_title

This is all over Twitter, an explanation of how the GOP, Facebook, and Cambridge Analytica combined to suppress and even collapse the black vote in the USA in 2016.

Complaining about Sarandon or Sanders or the Greens is a fool's game. This is how they made the difference in battleground states.

Targeted, slick propaganda works. Facebook is the main portal for it. You know what to do.

I had seen the commercials for this, so I am glad to now be able to watch it.

(Sorry to be pedantic, but I don't think Channel 4 is part of BBC. It's publicly funded, but I THINK it is separate from the Beeb. Sincere apologies for wasting your time if I am wrong).

Channel 4 is different private commercial broadcaster in the UK independent of the non-commercial, public BBC.

record straight.

BBC4 produces wonderful documentaries.

Channel 4 produces hard-hitting reports.

I used to have Channel 4 as part of my Sky satellite package. But that was many years ago.

amd probably think anything that adds to the BLM protests will be even worse for business.

Persoanlly, I just want people o wake up and ditch Facebook. It's not just a shitty service with a predatory business plan, they've gotten dangerous to this country.
