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
"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.
"There's a lot of gray about truth!" Yes, but also deluge of low-hanging fruit. If you can police nipples on your platform, you can do this.
Folks who think I'm just partisan. I wrote this IN 2012—after Obama won. I also worry a lot about non-US contexts. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …pic.twitter.com/slDQmX8w2L

No such claim: it's always multi-factor. I wrote on Trump strengths all year. I'm also from Turkey—seen this movie.https://twitter.com/CML_Texas/status/798556619407822848 …

I've seen a lot of this from just about every mainstream outlet.Highly doubt it would be discussed if HRC win. Thanks for the reply.
.@CML_Texas It should have been an issue earlier. I wrote about it in 2012, in the context of Obama win. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …
