You’re right. My mistake. I was going off memory and 2009 came to mind, but now that you mention it I do remember hearing about tech for the 2008 election- but I heard that years later, after cambridge analytica. All’s to say, it was emerging around that time and it wasn’t a big, public announcement. People around the epicenter knew but most were in the dark. I know i was, till the mid 2010’s. Since then I have 0 trust in big tech/most corporations, but I’ve definitely made my share of mistakes and wish there were more protections/public education.
