      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

      Other disagreement: I think correct theory here is not "media effects." Facebook isn't media: it's peer socialization. Why it's potent.

      Despite disagreement on FB effect, I absolutely agree with @mysocnet and @eszter on this: don't make it a mono-causal lazy explanation!

      Here's the piece I wrote on this *before* the election. FB must do better but "fake news" thrives on our weaknesses. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/opinion/campaign-stops/did-you-hear-the-latest-about-hillary.html …pic.twitter.com/OTRduxScxo

      I'm not clear on how "peer socialization" distinct from "media" – just different form of media? Or as some may say "it's all text."

      Hey, btw, I think a lot on Facebook & social media effects—but the topic now threatens to overshadow other crucial topics re:this election.

      Scholars in this corner will agree/disagree. But, umm, socio-economic mobility, globalization, mass media, elite failure, campaigns...

          Fake news lists wrong focus. Key is this ecology of demand & incentives: Facebook & Google ads + Facebook algorithm. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/25/world/europe/fake-news-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia.html …pic.twitter.com/Xm9h8qYPsA

          To them it's a business transaction, and as such, hedging is a valid early strategy.
