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

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.
