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, 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
