selling data in the article is referring to actual advertising data transactions on the "marketplace" or whatever. You're expanding it to mean something more nebulous.

Seems made up. Also notice how the non-US ones are support for political parties.
Can we not use weird chauvinist phrases like "taxpayer-funded" though, especially since that's just not how money works.
The article says it will probably owned by a German company, Messer Group. Germany and helium... 🤔
During the Nazi era, the Messer-led company benefited considerably from the regime's arms production, employed forced laborers and was a supplier for the V2 production and the Wehrmacht.[1] In the denazification process, Messer, who had been a member of the since 1933, was classified as a follower in 1948

Also, can't wait for this to make people's medical treatment even more expensive! Exciting times! Thanks Joe Biden!
We're going straight to communism 
Yeah it's supposed to be negative, but the stuff in the article makes it sound like they're committed opposing US imperialism and the power that capitalists have in Venezuela. The author works at "University College London" so he's probably one of those people that's nominally left-wing but will never actually actively support any left-wing movement.
It's easy to retweet Lula or throw out environmentalist words or whatever. It doesn't make someone left-wing or prove their lack of corruption.
hell yeah 💪💪 It's amazing how much hardship PSUV has weathered.

I mean there literally is.
Posting Washington Times is cheating.
They literally don't. I don't know why you feel the need to infer some super secret financial transactions. The article is talking about "above-board" financial transactions on ad data marketplaces. Any data transferred to the US government is using their other programs which probably are more convoluted than just handing over money.
