Obama was the poster child for overnight political success using more or less the same mechanics that social media is built on today. They just didn't think the other side can play the same game. Which goes - Tell people what they want to hear and whoever gets the most attention wins.

Every politician whether they were tech literate or not got on Facebook and Twitter after Obama won. Facebook has enabled the propping up of unqualified to govern but qualified to be "like"d candidates all around the world.

They have done serious damage to society in the last 10 years and we are just getting started as people realize the damage.

Zuckerberg should resign. God knows how many elections across the world have been effected. And if Hillary had won I wonder if Facebook would have even looked at this seriously.
