It also doesn't sound like they put in any kind of special back doors or custom features; they were consultants explaining how the platform works.

I don't think the act of teaching someone how your platform works is shady, i think the platforms themselves are shady and the clintons were stupid to pass on it.

they were too busy handing out stacks of cash to their preferred circle of consultants

well yeah, they're corps it makes sense they'd do this for customers that pay for it

but you'd think it'd have been news is all, what with facebook search's fake news and questionable categories and pinpoint targeting, it was the employees themselves that were configuring appropriate search terms for all of it, and it's partisan as all hell (because clinton refused the same for some reason)

Yeah that just sounds like standard sales engineering. Go onsite to teach the customer how to buy ads so they can buy lots of them.

Iirc, this was covered in a few articles last year, and the only notable thing about it is Parscale is such a dimwit he thought these companies were like giving him super secret tricks about how to hax the interwebs, instead of "here's how you set knobs for demo targeting".


Edit: I'm pretty sure I remember reading that Parscale was the one who wanted them to be called "embeds" because it was very tacticool, and their sales account manager was just like "lol sure whatever, they're embeds now".

it's actually an emergency feature. in the case of a battery fire the cylinders will destabilize and undergo a "rapid conflagration event" which will remove all of the parts of the car from the danger area

On the one hand, we should mock Ole Musky for selling a roofing torch as a "flamethrower".

On the other hand, this precludes the "Ole Musky sells flamethrowers to Nazis" narrative.
