question. why does it matter that facebook keeps insisting it's not a media company? what is achieved if they acknowledge it?

you don't have to be a journalistic institution to weed out bullshit
-
basically, what i'm saying is, facebook is even more cowardly than you think
-
yes. moderation will do facebook more good than whatever tf any of its execs are doing now. https://twitter.com/eathdemon/status/798305665278181377 …

you can't expect every internet company to go full steam on professional moderation. but facebook is not every internet company.

with great power comes great responsibility, etc etc

I am *terrified* already by the ability to censor sex-positive and LGBT+ voices by injecting human moderators into process.

Algorithms are never neutral.

I agree with you. I just am not convinced that humans, especially outsourced humans (on the scale you'd need) are better.

also its promotion algorithm is documented. Doesn't make it perfectly neutral, of course, but there's a whiff of neutrality
-
One of the difficulties, though, is how hard it is to know (from the outside) when that also has been gamed.
-
Also, "the algorithm as public editor" makes the whole apparatus difficult to argue with on specific points.
-
right, for it to work AT ALL it needs to be radically transparent. Reddit is closer to that, I think.

Maybe downvoting inherently protects against it? Facebook doesn’t have that. Fake news is more polarising.
-
agreed. Reddit is built around communities, the interests of which are aligned w/ high-quality posts
-
Facebook's incentives are almost nihilistic by comparison

it only guards against fake news if the subreddit/community wants no fake news. It’s punting the question.
