Facebook Quietly Hid Webpages Bragging of Ability to Influence Elections
https://theintercept.com/2018/03/14/facebook-election-meddling/
WHEN MARK ZUCKERBERG was asked if Facebook had influenced the
outcome of the 2016 presidential election, the founder and CEO
dismissed the notion that the site even had such power as
"crazy." It was a disingenuous remark. Facebook's website had
an entire section devoted to touting the "success stories" of
political campaigns that used the social network to influence
electoral outcomes. That page, however, is now gone, even as
the 2018 congressional primaries get underway.
