Because Facebook is uniquely positioned to show you news that aligns with your views (or is opposed to your views- is there an option for that?)

- wils124 9y agoUniquely? Do you really have a hard time finding news sources that align with your views? This has been a solved problem since the invention of the newspaper.
- hossbeast 9y agoFacebook knows alot more about your views than the New York times does.
- therein 9y agoHow is that a good thing for where you get your news? It is one of those things where it is probably better that you are getting an objective (not crafted for you) selection of the contemporary news instead of one that's filtered for you.
- mwilliaams 9y agoThat's exactly the problem with politics in today's society. So many people are getting their information from places like Facebook, and much (most?) of this information is biased and/or less than factual. This causes people to develop more extreme, more polarized viewpoints than they would otherwise have.
