Now people are noticing what I wrote in 2012, danger of targeted "hidden messaging" that is never countered. 9/10https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/798873601890025472 …

"We can't measure this." We can. Facebook has an excellent data science team: many are academics with integrity. Let them collaborate. 10/10
"There is nothing Facebook can do given complexity." There was an enormous amount of low-hanging fruit Facebook blatantly ignored. 11/n
"You're focusing on one thing." Yes, I'm an academic who studies this corner. I do have a many threads & writings on Trump's appeal, too.
"Facebook will take flak if it does this." Yes—that's how it fired its already too few human editors. You choose how you go down in history?
"This can't just be done with humans." No. A lot can be done with a combination of hiring more people, recognizing role and algorithms. 14/n
"People were already prone to filter-bubbles and misinformation." YES. That's why this is so potent to pour gasoline and a match on it. 15/n
"This is just how history works, ups and downs." Whoo boy. Globally, this issue is helping ravage many countries. Let's not just watch? 15/n

This has been going on for many months. Only Facebook knows true extent but it's been like this everyday for months. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/16/48-hours-in-facebook-s-unreality.html …pic.twitter.com/2A659rjOLW
can I just say how much I appreciate you being so vocal about this problem? It matters. Thank you for trying to curb this!
