    Sandberg: "When you cut off speech for one person, you cut off speech for all people." But attention—not speech—is the scarcity FB controls.

        The issue here isn't as much what Facebook blocks (which it does all the time!) but how its design funnels attention to mis/disinformation.

        Monetizing the channeling of mass attention, and how and to what kind of content, is a different question than removing this or that post.

        Let's not think of Facebook in 19th century terms. The parts that are on it are about its algorithms, design, incentives and monetization

        PS. Lengthy treatment of attention, & how our understanding of censorship needs to change can be found in my book: http://twitterandteargas.org

        Excellent point. The power of their control makes their often tone-deaf pronouncements doubly worse.

        Strikes me FB's probs are: 1. Take pers'l info, apply algo to figure inclinations and 2. sell it to direct info (really ads) to users.

        The innovation in networking consisted of unfunnelled, unfiltered peer-to-peer comms. “Social” apps gut the parity of many-to-many. Feh!

        Seriously, how hard could it possibly be to code cooperative social media, that pays dividends to user eyeballs? Democratize the media!
