      Don't know whether to laugh or cry as I see liberals clamoring for Facebook to censor news content @zeynep

      you don't call it censorship, of course. you call it "mitigation". Your entire twitter stream for the past day is about this.

      You think it's ok for FB to drown people with outright fake news with nary an indication while censoring nudity on the site?

      Mitigating fake news? Yes. If that's your definition of "censoring news", words have lost meaning.

      Couldn't they just slap a big blinking "this is a fake news site" label on posts with those links?

      There is a million things they can do. Facebook already judges who wins and loses. Nothing new here.

      What's new is that you want them to enforce your political preferences

      Not at all. I'd like them to cut down on fake stuff of all political stripes. I first wrote about this in 2012.

      I raised this first in the context of Obama win; repeated this, wrote on NYT, and clashed with many Obama people.

          OK, so just make up your mind: is FB's "massive control over speech" a "major problem" or do you want aggressive filtering?

          Both are problems. There is no free-for-all in Facebook: it decides—not a real market. Since it does, it must do it better.
