The most dangerous idea. Facebook's algorithm *is* playing politics but—not in old ways. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/facebook-conservatives-zuckerberg-bias-223244 …pic.twitter.com/qZvkoEyVeK
Facebook's algorithm is political but not the way conservatives claim or Facebook defends it. My latest for the NYT.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/opinion/the-real-bias-built-in-at-facebook.html …
