Don't get me wrong, I am deeply disturbed by the level on control facebook (and google) exhibit over news, information, the internet. But it's a fundamentally different thing then the government doing it.
- dnh44 9y agoI remember one of the wiki leaks releases from last year implied that google/Facebook had the capability to shift political opinion by selecting what people are exposed to. When the government does this I think it's actually less harmful because people are aware the government wants to manipulate opinion. The capability to individually tailor propaganda like is already done with advertising is much worse I think.
