      "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

      "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

      On the right, on "dark ads" Trump campaign ran in 2016. On the left, two excerpts from piece I wrote in 2012 in NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …pic.twitter.com/02cYB4LqJg

          Also, good piece from @timoreilly highlighting algorithmic approaches to credibility & how Google does this. https://medium.com/the-wtf-economy/media-in-the-age-of-algorithms-63e80b9b0a73 …pic.twitter.com/Qrzd7FkO0D

          Another good piece. Facebook/exposure not only normalizes; it nudges. Little bit at a time, but matters at scale. https://shift.newco.co/im-sorry-mr-zuckerberg-but-you-are-wrong-65dbf8513424 …pic.twitter.com/elDVYpNREJ
