Obviously, you are missing something. You clearly don't buy much traffic on FB. Russians spend ~100k on ads for BOTH SIDES mostly promoting fake events, fake pages/groups etc for BOTH SIDES.
So yeah, not much comparison between that and Googles parent company being the second largest donor to Clinton and censoring many millions and millions and millions of searches results for the direct benefit of Democrats and Democratic candidates.
