People cite "media effects" research. This isn't that. This doesn't work like TV ads. It's socialization—the most powerful shaper of humans.

Media flunks this. But they don't reach this group & media has weak effects. Socialization—Facebook—has big effects. https://twitter.com/canitti/status/801060533935874049 …

Reporters still looking at this: overlooked, significant story is how Facebook's ad targeting facilities play into this. I think a big deal.

Yep. Misinformation on social media long had dangerous impacts in other countries; people had been pleading. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/technology/fake-news-on-facebook-in-foreign-elections-thats-not-new.html …pic.twitter.com/GGc2cT4lR0

Ohai. NYT says to get into China, Facebook developing tools so some posts (political ones?) *never* appear in feeds. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/technology/facebook-censorship-tool-china.html …pic.twitter.com/YEeovPJESl

So, blatantly fake news is too hard a problem for Facebook, but letting a third-party Chinese company disappear real news in China is okay?

Twitter & Facebook censor in Turkey, but *after* posts appear—and Twitter does it so you can see it by changing settings. This is different.

Tool proposed for FB China isn't "some conversation"—as in stuff gets around, as the gov't tries to censor. It's no conversation. No post.
