      By design, algorithm & policy Facebook entrenches echo chambers and amplifes misinformation. Me for the NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/opinion/mark-zuckerberg-is-in-denial.html …pic.twitter.com/hctYsmm5HH

      Don't buy the "Facebook can't do anything" about fake news and echo chambers line. Yes it can. This isn't partisan. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/opinion/mark-zuckerberg-is-in-denial.html …pic.twitter.com/lv1iE9skDL

          Facebook isn't trusted to act in a non-partisan manner, until that trust is there it'll be treated as a partisan problem.

          FB has no credibility. Bans GOP users with social widget from posting, ignores ques why & didn't trend GOP stories

          "This is what people want"—both true & false. Neither media nor people are perfect. Preying on weaknesses still not an okay business model.

          My argument holds regardless winner. I've been writing about this for years. Letting outrageous lies go viral on your platform is a choice.

          Doesn't this eventually, though, lead us to the "what is truth?" argument? Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's subjective

          The stuff we are talking about here is objectively bullshit, fabricated by propagandists. Period.

          I find more objective writing on Reddit posts than from CNN or NYT. Covering the facts is not enough when they are spinned all round

          .@zeynep Fake news is healthy bacteria in the grand scheme of maintaining media literacy. Keeps me on my toes.

          Haven't been to 4chan, but reddit allows creation of 'subreddits' which are almost perfectly sealed echo chambers.
