(70,483 posts)Wong said in the video that people from Google, YouTube, and Facebook were the campaigns hands-on partners in helping utilize their platforms. When youre pumping in millions and millions of dollars to these platforms, youre going to get white club [sic] treatment, she said. Without Facebook, we wouldnt have won. I mean Facebook really and truly put us over the edge.

(70,483 posts)Facebook & Zuckerberg's cover story about the problem was a bad app
and security breaches is just a smoke screen. Facebook had employees
embedded inside the Trump campaign and that helped to funnel and weaponize
very selective edited parts of the data stolen by Russia from HRC & the DNC
and helped to stoke divisions inside of America such as Bernie bros vs HRC,
made up stories about the Clinton foundation, and helped to give cover and
supply the media bullshit that was being pushed in the non stop and unneeded
congressional investigations.
