I guess the question is, do you treat "bad" content on Facebook (fake news and so on) like spam email, where you expect the provider to block it, or like an email from your racist Grandma, which you expect to be allowed through even though it's got the same link to a fake article?
Really in the end, if it's your Facebook "friends" who are posting this stuff, it seems to me like the responsibility is more on the users than the provider. People need to learn to be skeptical of everything, and how to check other sources before sharing. Even if you can "fix" Facebook, something else will come along.
- gowld 9y agoNo, FB is not email. You don't see everything your friends post, you see what FB chooses to put in your feed.
- Nition 9y agoThat's a good point. Although I suspect people would still be complaining if Facebook simply showed everything your friends posted in chronological order.
- username223 9y agoAnecdata: nope. I have a few friends who only seem to communicate via FB, and I would almost be willing to pay FB money to simply show a chronological feed.
- Nition 9y agoI don't know about the app, but on the website there's an option sort of hidden under the ··· menu next to News Feed[1]. Facebook unfortunately likes to helpfully reset it to Top Stories sometimes. [1] https://i.imgur.com/zRdmt8v.png https://i.imgur.com/zRdmt8v.png
- username223 9y agoI use mbasic.facebook.com these days, which doesn't require JavaScript, but when I used the desktop site, I remember that even "most recent" does some kind of filtering.
