So this is a lot like what Google experienced for a long time. Its algorithms would get manipulated. However, would you prefer Google to handpick (let's forget about the volume of manual labor for now) which sites get to be at the top? Or would you rather just keep improving those algorithms? I think Facebook is in the same situation. Facebook, Google, and to a lesser extent, Twitter, have a lot of power to influence elections.

> I think Facebook is in the same situation. Facebook, Google, and to a lesser extent, Twitter, have a lot of power to influence elections. And they will if their future power relies on the specific candidate, which is ironically also lobbied (paid) by them. I don't want to sound like a hippy in the 1960's, but if there ever was a need for the "fuck the corporations" slogans, it's now.
