zeynep tufekci added,
I'd also like: countering echo-chambers by letting diversity of one's own feed come through better. Demonetizing hoaxes. Better use of +
.. "related content" box, to suggest credible or non-echo chamber material. Use metadata and virality signature to spot potential issues.+
..+pair up with independent researchers who can help them grapple with all this. And please please notice this is much worse elsewhere so+
..needs more attention where Facebook is basically the public sphere, especially countries without much civic orgs or journalism.
Also, I will (always) keep my critical eye on all this but the either/or analyses or "what about some OTHER problem" aren't helpful. At all.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
