Isn't it possible that what's happening in Yemen, just but its nature, is a turn-off for most of FB's user base?

- TaylorAlexander 8y agoYes and that’s the rub. Previously a journalist decided what stories people should hear. Now an algorithm tuned to people’s engagement levels decides what we should see. It may have the effect of burying important stories that make people uncomfortable, which a journalist might not do. Just because people would rather not know about Yemen doesn’t mean we’re better off if people don’t know about Yemen.
