Yes! Retweet that too. The objective is to control the narrative on social media. Get the message out to people who are not following this as closely as some of us are. Don’t let MSM interpret the information for them.

I only read twitter. In all the years I have had the account, it has made two posts. I am not planning to add to that. My FB footprint is small too, not that small, but small.

From I'm an ex-Facebook exec: don't believe what they tell you about ads - Antonio Garcia-Martinez Tue 2 May 2017

Facebook deploys a political advertising sales team, specialized by political party, and charged with convincing deep-pocketed politicians that they do have the kind of influence needed to alter the outcome of elections.

I was at Facebook in 2012, during the previous presidential race. The fact that Facebook could easily throw the election by selectively showing a Get Out the Vote reminder in certain counties of a swing state, for example, was a running joke.

Point of the article is that Facebook is in the business of extracting money for ads, and for the most part it is a waste of the advertiser's money.
