      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

      This one is more on why Silicon Valley's "insurgent" phase is over, and what the ad-financing model means for it: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/DAED_a_00366 …

      So, a few responses to the most common objections to my "fake news" op-ed: "It wasn't the only factor." Of course not. No such claim. 1/n

          "We had fake news on both sides." That's true, and as best I can tell, it was massively unbalanced both in numbers and in tone. 2/n

          "People want to believe the misinformation." Obviously. Take a group prone to an opinion & drown them in fake news. That has an impact. 2/n

          People are actually not after information or truth only after ammunition to back up their disposition.
