Channel 4 News, a British news program, reported on September 28, 2020 that it had obtained cash data on the 200 million voters used by the Trump camp in the 2016 presidential election.
The data used by the Trump camp in its digital campaign consists of more than 5,000 files containing information about 200 million Americans, amounting to 5 terabytes of information. This data was used for the algorithm of the digital campaign.
In the 2016 election, the Trump camp used algorithms to classify citizens into eight categories in 16 key states. For example, in Facebook and other online advertisements, the category that the Trump camp considered to be the target was 'Audiences', and the category that the Trump camp positioned as people who did not want to go to the election was 'Deterrence'. It was named.
According to the data, Georgia has 32% of the population of blacks, but 61% of the Trump camp's 'blocking' category. Similarly, in North Carolina, where the black population is 22%, 46% of blacks are included in 'blocking.' Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians accounted for 54% of the 'blocking' category as a whole, indicating that the Trump camp wanted to attract white voters in the election campaign.
In the United States, election tactics that prevent supporters of rival camps from voting are called 'Voter Suppression,' but blacks have historically been the subject of voter repression. Citizenship experts call the data discovered 'a new form of repression' and point out that Facebook's targeted advertising information, which has not been revealed so far, should be disclosed.
In 2016, the Trump camp spent £ 4,400 on Facebook ads alone to deliver targeted advertising. Many of the ads are 'dark posts' that are delivered only to a specific audience, and there is no official record. For this reason, in order to clarify how voters of the blocking group were targeted, basically Facebook or the Trump camp side has to disclose information.
However, new data from Channel 4 News also reveals the existence of negative ads for black voters aimed at reducing votes on the Hillary camp. The negative ad included a video by Hillary Clinton calling a young black man a 'super predator,' which aired 402 times on television in October 2016 and has been viewed millions of times on Facebook. It was recorded.
'The problem is that the'blocking'category is being suppressed. Of course we use the data, but that's what the NAACP's Jamal Watkins said in a statement on Channel 4 News. It's about encouraging participation in the elections, not about keeping someone home. Apparently, the concept of democracy is changing. '' The best candidate wins, but 'the most.' The one who is wealthy and able to suppress voters and stay home wins. '
In addition, Twitter and Google are changing policies toward the 2020 presidential election, and Facebook has also announced that it will block political advertisements one week before the presidential election.
