  I don't think so. By citing these examples, the article is putting together a case for the narrative of Facebook/Twitter being primary drivers of the current overall system, inventing these malevolent features that enable and support this system. Rather than the alternative narrative of Facebook/Twitter being emergent "winners" in a diverse plethora of bad actors, all contributing to the system to varying degrees.

    i was talking about the parent post, he/she clarifying something in the article, but avoided talking ABOUT the article.

      He/she was correcting (minor) errors in the article. I was pointing out that those errors are somewhat relevant to the central premise of the article.
