When you buy a coke, is there an email from coke in your inbox the next day?
When you interact with coke does it gently tailor what you see and what you do not see, month after month?
If you cannot understand how people are influenced, maybe you'll never see the influencing happening. That doesn't make you immune, on the contrary...
- sg47 9y agoNo, but it does make me want to drink a coke the next day and maybe more than one a day. I don't have the same problem with broccoli.
- bussierem 9y agoHis point is not that Coca-cola has _no_effect on you, but their effect on you is pretty much limited to getting you to drink Coke, because that's their goal. Facebook can, has, and certainly will continue to monitor and influence MOST aspects of peoples lives - social, political, religious, economic, etc. Just ads and subtle filtering of walls and ads alone is provably HUGE impact-wise.
- jgalt212 9y agoHow does an automated email from FB that gets filtered into my FB folder that I never read actually influence me?
- ionised 9y agoThat's you. You do not represent everyone who uses Facebook.
