1) The Macedonian kids are real: https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/how-macedonia-became-a-global-hub-for-pro-trump-misinfo … 2) fact that they are real says you have to fix algos, not Russia

For sure. Fix algos but not the motivator/pay master behind *why* the algos are created and used, and to what intent. Seriously?
-
You mean Vlad Putin has taken over Zuckerburg? That IS shocking.

Oh FFS stop. Zuckerberg is an oligarch with one interest only: clicks, Likes and Shares. He cares not about content or context.
-
right. And that is the problem.
-
I seriously don't think you even know *which* problem you're talking about any more. Putin? Algos? Macedonian kids? Zuckerberg?
-
the problem is the way the algos work. Nuke Russia but leave algos in place and you still have the problem.

but the problem is also way our media works and the story itself is symptom of that.
