Is this how election interference happens?
Wait till you see what shit the BigTech pulls in developing countries, take for example my country, India. Reddit excuses hate speech, so that people keep engaging in a flame war. Similarly, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram also does nothing against such contents. Fuck them all.
It’s not really a pro-Trump election ad, it’s an ad for a Mastodon-based(!) social network, albeit one that’s designed to draw people toward pro-Trump content.
It does suck that Google accepts their ads but I wouldn’t go so far as to call this election interference.
What question are you asking here?
No, that’s paying for advertisements. Note the “sponsored” tag.
I’m uncertain this could classify as election interference. It’s probably the algorithm at work. Either way it’s a bad look.
