Jack's last tweet in this thread:

>paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today’s democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle

Ignoring the technology aspects of this for a minute: he's basically arguing directly against the Supreme Court's Citizen's United ruling, which I find interesting. If we're going to argue that money is too corrupting in online political advertising then it really doesn't have anything to do with being online.
