This isn't a cop out. Anything different and Facebook would be blamed for censorship. This is a difficult problem to solve. It's practically human nature to form a mob and group think. It's one of the first things that kids do in pre-school.
I think the only solution to this problem is education.

- mmsimanga 9y agoI get that social media is bad for you. The question is does the rest of the world agree? Perhaps I can liken it to sugar. It's is bad for you in large quantities but it is legal.

The tendency of the news feed to promote attention grabbing content biases it to extremes, and this is definitely a systemic problem, and shouldn't be ignored and swept under the rug.
