      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 …

      We DO need more data—but Facebook controls research access. It's as if the tobacco company held all medical records. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/opinion/mark-zuckerberg-is-in-denial.html …pic.twitter.com/qgsewIRJpx

      Also, if true, this isn't a defense. It's cowardly. Facebook should, absolutely, crack on fake and fraudulent news wherever it comes from.pic.twitter.com/3Iylcdc2cv

      This is exactly right. More and more, misinformation, not blocking information, is how censorship actually works.https://twitter.com/kmiraski/status/798590561104068612 …

      Used to be that no access to information was the barrier; now it's knowing if the information is true. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/opinion/mark-zuckerberg-is-in-denial.html?_r=0 … @nytopinion

      Also, great point by @WillOremus. Facebook's massive power over audiences warps all news—more than just fake news. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2016/11/the_problem_with_facebook_runs_much_deeper_than_fake_news.html …pic.twitter.com/NqwbimfkJa
