Facebook had evidence suggesting that the company's algorithms encourage polarization and "exploit the human brain's attraction to divisiveness," but top executives including CEO Mark Zuckerberg killed or weakened proposed solutions,The effort to better understand Facebook's impact on user behavior started in response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and its internal researchers determined that, contrary to the company's mission of connecting the world, its products...
The Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook teams pitched multiple fixes, including: limiting the spread of information from groups' most hyperactive and hyperpartisan users; suggesting a wider variety of groups than users might normally encounter; and creating subgroups for heated debates to prevent them from derailing entire groups.
In response to the pitch about limiting the virality of hyperpartisan users' posts, Zuckerberg reportedly asked the team to not bring something like that to him again.
*delete profile* enjoy life again.
dianaaitchison Twitter is pretty close to being as evil as FB. All of our tweets are permanent even if you delete them... as in there are transcripts of them. Sounds paranoid I know. Part of me says okay who cares, but then I see a sponsored ad clearly targeted for me. Just saying.
dianaaitchison Mark Zuckerberg knows everything FB is doing and he clearly doesn’t care. How much money is enough for billionaires? Have they no decency?

GovHowardDean Facebook is garbage. fuckzuck
GovHowardDean
GovHowardDean Why not just rummage through all his bank accounts and passwords, and sell all his data and his companies' data to the highest bidder? Why does Zuckerberg (and other tech clowns around the world) need privacy anyway?
GovHowardDean DeleteFacebook if you haven't already. There is life after facebook. I was a user since its early days, ended it about 3 yrs ago when I saw Zuckerberg at the hearings baldface lie and evade, he's despicable. Haven't regretted it for one single day.

That's not a bug - it's a feature. They want people at each others throats - that gets more clicks and they can sell more ads.

Of course they knew! Zuckerberg is a snake. He stole Facebook and now people want to believe he's an honest person?
Why people don't get off Facebook is a mystery.
underground556 Forget top executives, and hold the topmost executive responsible.
FB should be deleted & databases of personal, private data collection centers fined and shut down as cyberattacks & troll farms for Zuckerberg's personal profits.
Facebook fbnewsroom is slime pit. Pure garbage.
Facebook not only didn’t do anything about stopping it, they actively fed it. Cambridge Analytica’s APP release of personal information for propaganda use is what resulted. DeleteFacebook
They turned on a dime and revised policies earlier when accused of bias against conservatives. Facebook's fear of being called biased by conservatives can not be underestimated when reviewing their actions.
Congress needs to stop this Bullshit
Honestly think the Facebook pearl clutching is boring. Especially on this platform.
DeleteFaceBook
30ACTruth No surprises in this story as despite what Facebook claims that have no standards and their hypocrisy proclaiming that they have “community standards “ is laughable. They failed in 2016 to take down conspiracy theories and now they’re doing the same thing again.
Time to divide up Facebook.
Yikes! Good News:MeWe is here! The uplifting FB challenger that solves these problems. No ads, no targeting, no boosted fake news, and no newsfeed algorithms. Here's the recent TED Talk by MeWe's CEO on this topic: 'The Rise of Surveillance Capitalism'
It's time to get out of facebook
erinbiba DeleteFacebook
I really wish Facebook would stop the baseless lies my friends end up believing. Yes, it's very divisive. And Facebook knows it, and doesn't care.
I’m not surprise by this revelation at all. If an algorithm can be designed to show you products you might buy, shows you’d watch or political views that are similar to what your interested in...what do you expect the outcome to be?
Reportedly? TheGreatHack Netflix details all of it Trump/Brexit Bannon Mercers etc...
This is who they are, people! Believe them! Get the hell off Facebook!

erinbiba Tell us something we don’t know.
erinbiba Why is anyone on Facebook anymore? Why?
Gross. Though the article is pretty timely given that $FB is tapping against ATH.
But but but if I give up my Facebook account how will I keep in touch with people from my high school 40 years ago that I never talked to? What kind of life would THAT be? I would never see their dogs, Their grandkids. Their cakes? No way I live like that!
They needed algorithms to figure that out? 🤦🏼♂️
Facebook 'Why be the lesser Evil?'
I don't like this guy
LOL
Divide and rule (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.
Nothing about what Facebook does surprises me anymore
