    Wanting US news, I logged into CNN. Lead story about UK. Used VPN to pretend I was in US. CNN’s lead changed to US story. Switched VPN back to UK. CNN’s lead now back to UK story. Please, news media, show me what you’re showing everyone else, not what you THINK I want to see.

        Yes OF COURSE I can switch to global. That’s not the point. The point is that this is a trivial eg of NON-trivial technique whereby campaigners tailored propaganda to INDIVIDUALS & swung 2016 election. See Democracy Hacked by Martin Moore.

        No. Some stories are simply quantitatively more important. Curation, socialization and personalization of news taken to their extreme conclusion can lead to, well, exactly what we have now.
