      Facebook and Google helped them better target fear-mongering videos showing "France and Germany overrun by sharia law"—to get the ad money.https://twitter.com/liamdenning/status/920601343664054272 …

      It's not just the ads. It's the engagement metrics and the view that connectivity, without corresponding institutions, is an unalloyed good.

      The problem is structural. It's not about personalities. It's the kind of structures these companies have set up.https://twitter.com/dealbook/status/920459540730171392 …

      Yes. But it's public (can be countered), expensive, and not effective. FB & Google, moved from alchemy to chemistry. https://twitter.com/JeremyOwens_/status/920655640619515905 …

      Not just, but certainly many orders of magnitude more. But core problem is that we're the product—not the customer.https://twitter.com/JoeBeOne/status/920656918217220101 …

      When I say it's the business model, I don't mean they're greedily counting $$ from white supremacists. I mean it's the structure they set up

      It would be an easier problem if the problem was reducible to blatant ill-intent. It is related to intent, but in ways they set things up.

          Meanwhile Fox News invited pundits into the studio who said the same thing... also to get more views. Should that be stopped too? https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/920638086740152320 …

          This is about monetizing surveillance and attention in a submerged, privatized "public-sphere", not speech. Enough with the 19th century.

          It's uncomfortable and complex but deliberate misinformation may be speech—but it's often also a form of censorship. https://twitter.com/aaronhuertas/status/920692434119557121 …

          When "resting&vesting" tech bros still think of themselves as smart hustlers, actual smart hustlers (govt+other) get inside their OODA loop?
