Country after country, we've heard such dire calls. It only got noticed after it got big in US.https://twitter.com/slim404/status/801130085210144768 …

Saw this in Turkey—but admittedly after FB cracked down on it for one huge case. But this goes on a lot, too.https://twitter.com/slim404/status/801130670391070720 …

Already six figure shares; hundreds of thousands of if not millions of people may see this. Non-stop pre-election.https://twitter.com/JimDalrympleII/status/801171416963956736 …

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?

Pushback from @mysocnet & @eszter—always worth reading. But see Pew data below: Trump base as much on FB as anyone. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/307438-stop-blaming-facebook-for-trumps-election-win …pic.twitter.com/wHlRghSh7q
Of a 13% group of all of US. So about 6% of US—likely more non-voters than voters—also balanced out by non-white people?
But will find and tweet out cross tabs, too. Given half white, half not, and mostly old I'm skeptical had huge impact+
..since it appears that 70% of the country is on Facebook, and that is fairly event distributed across income.
