Facebook and Twitter with its millions of subscribers would definitely be a place to push political ads and propaganda to. The reach is really high and the ads are not really that expensive. You will get real time insights so it's a really great place to put on ads. You can directly read the people's reactions on everything you post. How the politicians would use the data will be key to their winning.

So many countries claim that social media affect their elections a lot. This can easily be seen in the widespread propaganda / ads / news that we get on our newsfeed whenever an election is coming up. However, there are also a lot of issues with privacy and fake news nowadays that a lot of people have stopped using Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. I, for one, believe that it will be a driving force for people to vote.
Just a simple example would be Taylor Swift's post that she is voting Democrat. Within 24hrs tens of thousands registered to vote. You would most probably find it idiotic but that is the world we live in and no matter how much people dismiss it, people are voting based on influencers like her.
