It's all so complex that I don't know what it will all mean, but the key point is that this is all greatly consequential, and unilaterally imposed. No simple way to muck around with social and informational interaction structures of two billion people. The crisis is structural.

This is not a sustainable answer. Facebook is the only way for a large number of essential connections for a large number of people--functions ranging from family, work to political participation.https://twitter.com/_bhylton/status/961947700852940801 …

The world also worked before cell phones or any phones. It even worked before writing. Try functioning without one now. It's not the same once something becomes crucial infrastructure for important functions. (Besides, Instagram is Facebook ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )https://twitter.com/seriously211/status/961950534126264321 …

There is also this—hearing this from institutions and pages—sudden and dramatic change for them. https://twitter.com/samharrelson/status/962014259449180162 …

The level of cruelty and thoughtlessness contained in this one tweet had me muttering “don’t tweet in anger; don’t tweet in anger” and putting the phone down. Doesn’t happen too often.https://twitter.com/ef21345/status/962031687583412225 …

Yes, I will use USPS to send written letters to people I communicate with some of whom are functionally illiterate, live in countries other than US, are mobile-only and I can't even manage to get them to use SMS (due to cost or technical issues). All good.https://twitter.com/Charlie_Corley/status/962009368697819137 …

Why hadn’t I thought about the existence of other methods? ::slaps forehead:: I guess I just don’t know that much about communication technology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/brooksie4/status/962048517417111552 …

I assume this is related to their “news” concept? How is that impact being felt in reality?

Maybe there's been changes, but there's always been algorithms messing up the flow. I termed it "disconnected connections", and as far as FB is concerned, it's a feature, not a bug. FB needs to burn to the ground. No one should have to be some rich asshole's social experiment.

They also blocked as least two articles (I know b/c I was blocked from posting them) about Russian interference and connections to Trump campaign leading up to the election, all while the fake news was flowing freely. These are bad people.
