As the political ads are going to start ramping up exponentially from here out, I believe this to be pretty important to share.

Don’t believe every ad you see on Facebook. Facebook seems to have chosen to be the center of political disinformation, and will shortly become an even worse cesspool of debate. I can only imagine that you’ll start to see these ads shared to other social media platforms.

Sharing an ad from Facebook to another platform (other than being obnoxious) disguises the ad as a post, and makes it appear as though it’s your opinion. If you share misinformation across platforms, you are nothing more than a disease or virus infecting other social media spaces that have announced they will work to lessen the amount of misinformation.

I agree with what most will say: Do your own research when looking at political campaigns, because it is an extremely toxic environment. Don’t be a person who forms opinions based off of reading headlines. Please, don’t be shallow of knowledge in a subject you intend to speak up about.

I don’t really care much for politics, to be honest, but I do care about people being manipulated. For the most part, all I see from almost every political campaign is social manipulation, and it truly sours my livelihood.

I do not care about your political affiliation, you will have your opinions and I will have mine, that’s how this democracy is supposed to work. We work together to find terms we can agree on, it’s not the best, and it can’t be perfect, but it’s better than living in a dystopia.
