In a majority-democrat country, nearly 100% of top performing FB content consists of far-right propaganda and conspiracies. Is it because only hardcore right wingers use FB anymore, or is it because FB recommendations amplify far-right propaganda at the expense of all else?https://twitter.com/FacebooksTop10/status/1326551915593789450 …

and so to counter-balance an un-biased algorythm, you nee d a bigger anti-troll factory than the size of initial troll-factory, even bigger as time pass
