      Important finding: a small tweak in a message shown *once* to FB users turned out twice the number of voters as decided the 2016 election.

      The paper. It's really, really well-done. Don't get mad at the researchers: we should study and understand all this.http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0173851 …

      It was @Mlsif who kept track of this and I just learned from him that it was published! Important that people pay attention to all this.

      Yep. I believe the studies we do have (and only ones with FB cooperation can deeply study this) are clear now.https://twitter.com/AmbientLion/status/908050933883342848 …

      FB wants to have it both ways: want advertisers to believe they influence people, but want people to believe they don't influence politics.

      They were marketing FB as a vehicle for political influence in DC to both parties, so they can't even claim that.

      We now have TWO careful experiments that confirm a tweak on a "go vote" message on FB shown *once* turns out hundreds of thousands more.

      Facebook ads are not just ads: they live in a social context; can be shared & move peer-to-peer. IMO media effects research not applicable.

      On the one hand: good that Facebook allowed this research. Can't truly study this without cooperation from them or a really giant budget.

      OTOH: Facebook isn't publishing this stuff anymore (or I don't know anyone who is now allowed to do careful studies like this and publish.)

      Deep research into this topic is imperative. Existing media research don't work as social media doesn't at all work like TV. Here we are.

      I just cannot imagine a TV ad, shown once or a hundred times, having the kind of effect Facebook feed events can have. Different mechanism.
