Yes, that pretty much confirms what I wrote above. Your point being?

Please read the article and compare what we know about Cambridge Analytica vs what the Obama campaign did, it is comparing snipers with someone setting off fireworks.

Look, I don't think anyone can realistically doubt that Obama's campaign was the first to effectively slice-and-dice the electorate and use social media to target them. You're arguing against a much more expansive claim than I'm making.

You used the word 'narrowly', and in the context of a post about Cambridge Analytica that word has a pretty specific meaning.
