Well, many, especially those who are into politics are aware of such things, but many aren't and maintain a very naive perspective about their government. The issue is to expose them, make people aware of what their government is capable of doing, and prevent it from happening again, and use it as a starting point to investigate other platforms where you have an abuse of governmental power, and perhaps stop it. It was found that twitter also rigged the Covid debate which didn't provide people with alternate information on a very important and deadly issue. Yeah, many know politics is dirty, but it's important for them to know how dirty it is. It may also encourage the mainstream media to operate in more journalistic fashion like they use to years ago when informing the public was a job they took seriously.
