I get the vibe the Zuckerberg and Facebook don't really know what to do about the news situation.
I find their promises of "we promise to only feed you real news" dishonest. Isn't the whole premise behind news that it's information aggregated and broken down by a person. That makes it inherently biased no matter how hard a person tries to keep bias out of it.... it's just part of it. So under what metrics will they determine that information isn't biased? It just doesn't make sense to me.
It feels like a catch 22. Facebook makes a lot of money by posting ads for news and funneling traffic to other sites. But users leave when their feeds are garbage or they feel like Facebook isn't doing anything to protect them. Lets just tell both sides we will solve the problem, but never actually explain how we will do that.
