BTW: If Trump had lost both the popular vote & electoral college, fake news on @Facebook would say he won both. See the danger there?(17/10)

Hi @Google Alex Jones says Clinton and Obama are literal demons who smell of sulphur. Infowars is not “the news.” You’re breaking democracy.pic.twitter.com/4vZ4wwSaSl
“But it’s just an algori—“ No. Stop. Shut up. If that’s what an algorithm produces it’s bad. You should populate the news feed another way.

The Truth, @facebook, is that you just spread lies to your users, helping a racist authoritarian win the presidency https://twitter.com/NellieBowles/status/798655906904870912 …

I disagree with @Gruber (and probably Facebook) here. Letting fake news thrive=taking a side. Can’t avoid the fray. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/11/15/gizmodo-facebook-fake-news …pic.twitter.com/VntJkR7sPa
They already curate the newsfeed; they police nudity. They censor breastfeeding moms. They censored "Napalm girl" pic.
And it's "political fray" to add fact-check to article implying a candidate killed an FBI agent, disguised as news?
..especially since tens of millions of people see this; and the UI gives you no hint what's what.
Striking similarities between FB and traditional news outlets in behavior, thought process, and rationalizations…
