- Gargoyle 10y agoI don't think Facebook needs to control what gets on the news feed.
- EdHominem 10y agoThey could have avoided all of that by not interfering. All they need to do is nothing. Don't favor some news, don't block fact-checkers. Just let me see everything my friends post.
- bryansum 10y agoGreat point; the question then becomes why is this interference necessary? Largely due to ads. Instagram made their feed algorithmic recently for this reason.
