.@TahaYasseri I honestly don't understand who the "emotional researchers" that Facebook should not share data with in this context? Clarify?
.@TahaYasseri I wrote first about this in the NYT in the context of the Obama election; you should try at least reading my whole piece?
.@TahaYasseri Despite my "emotional" side, I guess, I can read the research, and Facebook's own research confirms:https://medium.com/message/how-facebook-s-algorithm-suppresses-content-diversity-modestly-how-the-newsfeed-rules-the-clicks-b5f8a4bb7bab …
I share questions about (unknown) effect sizes but dismissing Zeynep's very real concerns as "emotional" is not cool
Especially since I wrote about this in 2012. I'm not just upset about one election; or concerned only about US.
