love getting youtube ads saying "oppose the durban marshal credit card bill, it lets credit card companies STEAL you data!!!" with a big "PAID FOR BY ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS COALITION" along the bottom and then googling the bill and finding out it aims to lower credit card fees and lessen visa and mastercard's monopoly over the credit card world. and just thinking "did they for real. call their lobbying group 'electronic payments coalition' and then think it wouldnt be obvious thats what it is? or that they have ulterior motives in opposing this bill?" like. you couldn't even call it like, the data safety coalition or something to try and make the lie look believable?
