9. Facebook? How do they obtain the bulk data?

The Democratic Party uses VAN.

I work with campaigns. I know how data is obtained.

Yes, you can boost ads on FB (targetting), but I've never heard of using it to send messages all over the country like they do with VAN, and Hustle. (SMS) The way Kamala sends texts...

I don't know if I have ever received a bulk ad on FB messenger. (Well except sex toy ads and nude webcam girls) But never a bulk political ad like this. Sometimes I've gotten messages after I liked a post. But I've never interacted with this candidate on FB.
