      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 …

          Too many journos relied on social media observations as inaccurate barometer of voters' positions.Then inadvertently fueled false narratives

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

          don't get me wrong but are you under the impression that any of our "elites" are busy facing reality?
