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

Worse, its hidden. I asked my bright students if they knew Facebook's algorithm curated the newsfeed. Only 10% knew. https://shift.newco.co/im-sorry-mr-zuckerberg-but-you-are-wrong-65dbf8513424 …pic.twitter.com/aukr7Fh2EU

Also this. Facebook ad team must hope nobody believes Zuckerberg's claims on "no influence".https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/798877205224890368 …

Something else to consider. Suddenly, Facebook can identify "fake news" to cut out of ad $$ (but not from newsfeed.)https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/798897029401497604 …

Also, "cracking down" isn't the word we're looking for here—so far, a few minimal steps, no acknowledgement, no transparency.

Check. This. Out. With a significant spike as the election neared.https://twitter.com/geetadayal/status/799041054607482880 …

Striking investigation into how fake news engagement on FB skyrocketed as the election got near—outdid real news. https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/vira-fake-election-news-outperformed-real-news-on-facebook …pic.twitter.com/0zzocsqtN6

Asked this very question at the piece at the very beginning of this thread. It may have worsened fake news problem.https://twitter.com/joshconstine/status/799092682584752129 …

This is nice but people willing to scour long lists to weed out fraud aren't the likely target of fake news. https://twitter.com/roseveleth/status/799234840751177728 …

Read this. Buzfeed: fake news outperformed real news as election got nearer. Of top 20 fake stories: 17 pro-Trump. https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/viral-fake-election-news-outperformed-real-news-on-facebook …pic.twitter.com/jUT8IK3V1m
Note mismatch, too. Fake pro-Trump: "Clinton kills FBI agent" or "sells weapons to ISIS." Fake pro-Clinton: "Ireland accepting US refugees."pic.twitter.com/gR0pVTf4JS
WaPo interviews a fake news purveyor who is much more reflective than Mark Zuckerberg about his choices in life. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/11/17/facebook-fake-news-writer-i-think-donald-trump-is-in-the-white-house-because-of-me/ …pic.twitter.com/U9B7HN4T2L
