    “The body of research consistently found Facebook pushed some users into “rabbit holes,” increasingly narrow echo chambers where violent conspiracy theories thrived.”https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1451682387197407239 …

    New from me: New internal documents show Facebook has long known—via years of experimentation and research—that its algorithms and recommendation systems push users to extremes. To researchers they gaslit, “Facebook literally helped facilitate a cult." https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/facebook-knew-radicalized-users-rcna3581 …

        “‘We’ve known for over a year now that our recommendation systems can very quickly lead users down the path to conspiracy theories and groups,’ one integrity researcher, whose name had been redacted, wrote in a post announcing she was leaving the company.”

        What a difference it makes to be able to actually work with the actual data that big companies have long denied independent researchers.

        Facebook’s algorithm needs to be changed, by regulation if necessary, so it’s more random.

        This is the obvious regulatory fix. Apply it to @Twitter also. Algorithmic distribution is, in fact, anti-free speech. @CharlieAngusNDP

        This is true. All automated recommendation systems based on passively contributed user data do this. This problem is bigger than just Facebook
