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 get the sentiment but few individuals leaving Facebook will not solve this problem. It's billions of people.https://twitter.com/jblachowski/status/798565596170424320 …

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 …

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

This is neither rare, nor an anomaly. Saying it's not the "sole" reason (nothing ever is) doesn't make it okay.https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/798269541344276481 …

Good point. To investors & advertisers: "We have influence!" To public: "Who, me?" https://twitter.com/Steve_Lockstep/status/798615106519085056 …pic.twitter.com/FMGjQFm2rs
To public: "Algorithm & design don't matter—it's all you!" Actually: "Hire top engineers, always tweak algorithm, run zillion experiments."
All interesting, though more about how all campaigns nowadays use these platforms—but also how Trump dominated news. https://www.wired.com/2016/11/facebook-won-trump-election-not-just-fake-news/ …pic.twitter.com/mm4XCrfy83
Folks, I wrote this in 2012—after Obama won. I called for oversight over fraudulent and hidden social media "news". http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …pic.twitter.com/atLroVGBVM
