      Almost every defense by Facebook employees here makes my case. They are in over their heads, and can't accept it. https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/how-people-inside-facebook-are-reacting-to-the-companys …pic.twitter.com/oWL1NxU35E

      Flatten all content, treat everything as if they're the same, measure clicks and time on site, make money. What could go wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Let me say this: RU stuff is a rounding error to the problems, and the US has probably suffered the least from downsides of Facebook/Google.

      To be clear, another major actor that is oblivious to their own role is mass media, that got played, badly, but won't talk about it at all.

          The history of all this won't about the vesting periods and the perks on the campus. There's time to act, but gotta start by facing reality.

          Yes. Ex.: Some "Bernie Bros" were clearly fake and deliberate. Said so at the time. Didn't stop outsized narrative.https://twitter.com/susanbordson/status/921763341172920325 …

          Similarly, while anti-Semitism is an obvious problem, there were a lot of fake accounts targeting journalists—to intimidate, or to distract.

          When I was at NYT, FB said wanted to promote hi-qual content. But guess that didn't meet targets, so dropped w/o telling media "partners."

          No, it was pushed out by garbage which was previously filtered by the news curation team up until it was replaced by ineffective algorithm.
