      Hmm. People can focus on "trending"—though it means little on Facebook—but not on the powerful newsfeed algorithm.https://twitter.com/CNBCnow/status/730077090297589760 …

      Easier to worry about "Facebook editors selected this"—it has a journalism analogy— but harder to think about complex computational filters.

      Look, every journalist and editor and NGO and activist out there is thinking HOW DO I MATCH MY STUFF TO FACEBOOK'S ALGORITHM? Trending? Meh.

      Seems Facebook stopped making trending topics purely algorithmic after criticisms about lack of Ferguson coverage.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/12/facebook-trending-news-leaked-documents-editor-guidelines …

      I don't think Facebook bringing editorial or quality control into the mix is a bad thing. I DO think it's a hard problem, esp. given scale.

      I do think the FB algorithm has a huge shaping power with a lot of effects—some intended, some not, some unforeseen, some from $$$ motives.

      My criticism is this: Facebook is now among the world's most important gatekeepers, and it has to own that role. It's not an afterthought.

      That Facebook mediates interactions within our social networks & flow of news is why it's such a huge, profitable company. That's its core.

      What makes Facebook successful is that gatekeeping role. I'm sure many Facebook engineers are super brilliant but that's not the core value.

          Facebook tries so hard to recruit engineers and to make some blue box just right. But it's core business is in humanities & social sciences.

          Facebook cannot escape humanities since it can't escape adopting values, nor social sciences since it judges rank in our social networks.
