Non-Social in a Socially Networked World

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan interfered in our nation’s elections

We were sooo concerned about Russia, Russia, Russia and their dreaded skillful social media hoards influencing our elections when all we had to do was look at the founder of the largest social media company for the guilty party. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative funded the Center for Tech and Civic Life which in turn funneled hundreds of millions into the 2020 election. They specifically targeted all the places where there seemed to be election shenanigans.

This interference occurred in states all over the country. If we’re so worried about money in politics how in the hell did we allow a private organization manipulate public elections? So money is okay as long as you don’t spend it on ads? This was insidious.

The group poured millions of dollars into multiple key Wisconsin Democratic strongholds in the months leading up to last year’s presidential race, ostensibly in an effort to shore up voting systems and infrastructure amid the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic. The organization was ultimately funded with more than a third of a billion dollars by Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan; that money was funneled to additional election funding efforts across the country. 

Juno claimed that following the infusion of the CTCL cash into Green Bay “the mayor’s office and chief of staff began to take over election functions.”

“And that is not something under state statutes they have the authority to do,” she said, “because under Wisconsin law, municipal clerks, the county clerk and the Wisconsin Elections Commission are the individuals charged with running elections.”
