      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.

      Look, these are hard questions. The issues Facebook needs to grapple with are what humanity has grappled with for .. millennia. Seriously.

      Worst response is to pretend these issues do not exist. They do. Attention is scarce. Values have consequences and are contested. So on.

      And Facebook is in the middle of it all; maybe affecting more people than any predecessor, and all this in just over a decade.

      I'd like to see more of this discussion, and more realization that the core questions in technology are about values, not pixels. /endfornow

      Editorial values matter—at the NYT or at Facebook—but we're pondering bridle colors for our horseless carriage. The engine is the algorithm.

      Look, Facebook seems to have injected a bit of editorial standards to a trivial corner IN ORDER TO COUNTER BALANCE THE ALGORITHM a tiny bit.

          Issue isn't the tiny step they took—sounds fine to me except it's maybe too little—but this enormous, maybe unprecedented, power they have.+

          Facebook's power is successfully leveraging network effects to scale up to 20% of humanity with an ALGORITHM ranking social ties & news.
