It's kind of interesting to think about the public concern that'd be generated if this article was instead about the government and the New York Times buddying up to use the Time's bestseller book list to deradicalize people. People today can easily grasp the dangers of book censorship and propaganda, so it's alarming and interesting that social media gets such a pass. p.s. I'm not saying that the NYT's bestseller list is free of manipulation, I'm saying they don't openly acknowledge such manipulations to the public.
