What I see that works on Facebook is intense public pressure—no market competition—or employee discomfort. Right/alt/right does the first.
Through intense public pressure, right/alt-right played Facebook into being passive to deliberate misinfo campaigns before the election.
Expect more of the same, especially as whomever Zuck is listening to is advising him to play the useless & weak media "both sides" playbook.
Point is NOT that Facebook should censor right wing views. Of course not. But it's always been a super helpful platform for Breitbart right.
Facebook has also been super helpful to Trump campaign, working as their competent embedded ad-agency when they were so disorganized.
But the right/alt-right knows the naive, liberal weakness: buckle under tiniest criticism and cave even more. So it keeps hitting. Works.
Facebook, like most trad media, has never managed to grow a backbone—not censorship or bias, but a backbone—and defend ethics & fairness.
Hence Facebook keeps getting played. This is the same distortion/stupidity that made mass media cover both candidates badly before election.
BS "both sides" arguments and getting played and caving when someone flicks a finger: congrats. FB arrives as a traditional media company.
So, is Zuck saying people concerned about this are just close-minded people whining about ideas they disagree with?https://twitter.com/cnni/status/913573655615016960 …
