I thought it would be ground breaking, but the documentary basically outlined what politicians have been doing for decades to manipulate voters.
We only care now because a guy you don't like is in office. If Hillary would have won, it would be business as usual..Even though she used the same tactics.
To be clear, the only reason that these tactics can work in the USA in the first place is because of the district gerrymandering. It will be interesting to see what kind of monster the Republicans return as after the millennials have driven a stake through the heart of the current version.
When the lobbists have seen how effective this technology is at creating public opinion (brexit, USA elections) they immediately rushed to lobby laws against it, treating it as a weapon (GDPR).
They felt treatened for a second, making their wealth obsolete in comparison to few milions of $ spend on internet commercials.
Sword that they used to gain that wealth and position could be now very well used to abolish them.
