| Probably marketers in this one. Marketers who know how to access politicians adn get invited to WEF. The distinction: marketers know how to trick people, lobbyists bribe them. |

| ▲ | pocksuppet 27 minutes ago | parent [-] | | In practice it's about bribing them or at least telling them personal gains. Like if you tell a politician he should support the war on Iran because he owns lots of oil stocks and they'll go up. Marketing is telling a politician this app is the future of EU social chat so you need to be using it. |

| ▲ | oytis 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Obama making an account on Twitter is a marketers' success. Twitter became popular first, politicians wanted to appear there second. WSocial just went to politicians directly,it's not known by general public. Good news is, it rarely helps with commercial success |
