$45m, 1.6bn views and 'Crazy Donald': How Bloomberg bought your Facebook feed

In the first six weeks of 2020, more than 1.6bn of the 2.4bn presidential campaign ads shown to US Facebook users were from the Bloomberg campaign.

Facebook political ads:
Bloomberg 69%
Trump 12%
Sanders 7%
Steyer 5%
Warren 2.9%
Buttigeig 2.6%
Biden 1%
Klobuchar 0.6%

There quite the collage image with this article.

maybe once a week so I don’t miss b’days. When I do that I’ll do a quick skim through of my news feed so I can keep up with my friends going ons.

I never see any political ads. Only ads for companies products that seem to follow me around the interweb.

primary today, I would vote for:
