      People long warned about the surveillance-industrial complex (now in new hands) and click-bait algorithms (which fuel misinformation).

      Perhaps the most informative chart (2012 elex). Among other things, the level of non-voting among almost all groups shows striking mistrust.pic.twitter.com/0D6ZbxdT2p

      No, this doesn't happen in a vacuum—but social media, esp. Facebook & Twitter, wildly amplified this method/message. http://www.niemanlab.org/2016/11/the-forces-that-drove-this-elections-media-failure-are-likely-to-get-worse/ …pic.twitter.com/6v2EZkFvE7

      If I had a magic wand, I'd nix all the either/or analyses—which I believe blinded people to dynamics before the election, and still do now.

      Facebook's algorithm is central to how news & information is consumed in the world today, and no historian will write about 2016 without it.

      2016 was a close election where filter bubbles & algorithmic funneling was weaponized for spreading misinformation. http://www.niemanlab.org/2016/11/the-forces-that-drove-this-elections-media-failure-are-likely-to-get-worse/ …pic.twitter.com/cbgrj1TqFb

      FB algorithms have clear bents: filter-bubble, clicky or quarrelsome content. Yes, it builds on human tendencies. It greatly amplifies them.

      Twitter's own (lack of) policies about harassment & extreme racism also played a role in all this. It's all complex, but this is part of it.

          ^IOW I get all the disagreements but what should have been a tactical discussion of a small matter turned into a mass-vilification campaign.

          ^I am local and there was very real, concrete signs of retaliatory violence. I suggested a clean-up, or any kind of gesture—to dampen cycle.

          @ckaratnytsky it was the wrong message to send, and certainly the wrong time to send it.
