#Microtargeting
Interesting--I never got fertility stuff at all and wonder if many men did. The MAHA adjacent stuff I got was more testosterone/aging related. Does not feel great that the reactionaries are microtargeting our anxieties this way.

Microtargeting the voters who are (1) gettable on healthcare, (2) unaware of the GOP’s position on the ACA, and (3) tuned in to the level of tracking senate messaging votes

microtargeting is aimed at persons, rather than people or culture, and we've lost something important in that transition.

Obama pioneered scraping data for microtargeting voters. Globally the wealthy and thirsting for power have weaponized it.

They definitely got you pegged, David!

Is this what they call “microtargeting”?

“… Trump's political team made a withdrawal from the president's massive political war chest, with New Jersey and Virginia each receiving roughly $1 million for get-out-the-vote microtargeting efforts, Fox News confirmed this weekend.”

Elon Musk spent $45 million to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with disinformation ads. The ads had lies tailored to target citizens by race and religion to demotivate thems from voting and turn them against Kamala Harris.

Trump is pouring millions into late-stage voter turnout in Virginia and New Jersey, targeting Republican and pro-Trump voters who typically skip off-year elections. The initiative includes a $1 million-plus microtargeting campaign in each state to boost turnout ahead of key races.

You're right in the big picture, of course. Most men don't like rape & don't like Nazis.

But even if it weren't true, it sort of assumes that there's no microtargeting. Like, if you run an ad about this in heavily Democratic areas, you can gain ground even if you don't do it statewide.

There is obviously no nuance there but since I don't see a way to prevent that microtargeting it leads me to getting rid of the electoral collage. The algorithms are a whole other thing. Do you ban them? Can you regulate them? If so how? Do you ban under 21 from social media. Not sure on any of that

I also car a lot about media ownership. And all the algorithms and microtargeting, specifically for elections. Musk microtargeted areas for the 2024 saying to Muslims Kamala is married to a jew and to jews that Kamala was supporting the Palestinians protests at select college campuses.

Oh I know. Don’t even get me started on big tech, social media, and microtargeting. But GWB/Rs built the population that would then be so easily led astray by all of this. Critical thinking skills build resiliency to even microtargeting (not immunity) and that’s why they were driven out of the US.
October 31, 2025 at 2:38 PM
True, but also Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data stolen from users to create 5000 data pts on every single US voter in 2016, something earlier Rs could only dream of. Imagine what dark microtargeting and psyops they can run ten yrs later—time to rewatch the Great Hack on Netflix.

Exactly why I voted for the Pirate Party in the Dutch general elections, yesterday. Governments will not be able to resist the temptation to abuse it for microtargeting the people they don't like. A communist's and fascist's heaven.
October 30, 2025 at 6:55 PM
And Dems had messaging like this too for different communities! Dems did massive microtargeting
October 29, 2025 at 2:58 AM
Fundamentally you need people to trust you, and microtargeting your policy positions like this is a way to sound fake and corporate.
i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away
October 27, 2025 at 6:08 PM
naw, it was to steal info for microtargeting influence operations.

Fascist brainwash beyond Orwell's 1984. I say beyond, because it’s fused with social media algorithms, microtargeting, and AI. It reeks of plans for a near future where fair elections will no longer be allowed.
One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.

That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

Fascist totalitarian brainwash beyond 1984, bc combined with social media algorithms, microtargeting and AI.

And it all smells like they will not allow for fair elections again.

Your data is the product. Tech firms profit by predicting and nudging what you’ll do next.

📈 Effects: Political microtargeting, price discrimination, emotional algorithm tuning.

Verder ben ik vooral benieuwd naar de impact van het nieuwe verbod op politieke advertenties middels microtargeting op de komende verkiezingsuitslag. Kan zomaar zorgen voor minder diffuus beeld #verkiezingen
