Which report is this? I've seen the Facebook press release, I've seen Tom Stocky's post, but I've never seen this report. Source? And the biggest issue I have, is that as far as I know, from January 2014 to present, Facebook's help page was written in a way to mislead users on how trending topics actually work [1]. From reading that help description, most users, including me, imagined Trending topics to work as /u/cft described. Yet that page has no mention that every single trending article on Facebook is curated by a human. How is that not an enormous oversight?

The topics you see are based on a number of factors including engagement, timeliness, Pages you've liked and your location. > On a computer, the topics are grouped into 5 categories: All News, Politics, Science and Technology, Sports and Entertainment.
