everything to play for, but the conservatives are quite comfortably ahead and their tremendous fuckups are, a la trump and his followers, only entrenching his base. i can see labour and the libdems trading a few swing seats and the conservatives getting a majority. 5 years of johnson and postpartum depression. can't wait.

anyway, twitter just banned all political adverts. i guess they want the good PR points before the law explicitly bans them or hits them with expensive and cumbersome reforms.Larssen wrote:
As for political adverts - I don't think it's realistic to expect politics to separate itself from social networks. Nor would it be healthy in a time when it is more important than ever to bring high politics to the people in more visible ways.
(more in the thread).A political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet. Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money.
Internet political ads present entirely new challenges to civic discourse: machine learning-based optimization of messaging and micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes. All at increasing velocity, sophistication, and overwhelming scale.
For instance, it‘s not credible for us to say: “We’re working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, buuut if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ad…well...they can say whatever they want!

They don't generate anythinguziq wrote:
that line is pretty much the first thing anyone says. the problem is that these 'commercial organisations' want to be media organisations, which are subject to broadcasting regulations and suchlike. it's not exactly so simple as saying 'if you don't like their product, don't use it'. they want to be one-hit news aggregation sites. hence the argument of breaking up big tech or introducing regulations. they are no longer single-use commercial enterprises; they are 'platforms'.
