"Unprecedented" support...
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft reps helped hone Trump's digital strategy.
Understaffed, outspent, and running way behind in the polls, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign appeared to be floundering weeks before Election Day. But he got some help from a platoon of at least eight staffers from Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft that helped the Trump team hone its digital strategy, Noah Kulwin reports on vicenews.com.
While it’s not unusual for tech companies to provide de-facto consulting for big advertisers, the number and the extent to which employees from those companies acted as surrogate staff for political campaigns in 2016 was unprecedented in national politics, according to a study from that professors from the University of Utah and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill published in the journal Political Communications, Kulwin wrote.
