> Campaigns are allowed to purchase products or services from foreign sources.

It's not quite so simple. It's true that US campaigns can purchase products and services from foreign vendors, but only to the extent that those services do not include any management or strategic decision-making services. So you could hire a Canadian firm to make data visualizations for you, but the firm could not tell the US campaign, "we recommend you target group x" based on that visualization.

But I agree, based on what is described here, there may be nothing here. Very much unlike certain Cambridge Analytica activities across the pond.
