I know they didn't mean to, but Facebook dug their own grave on this as soon as they started applying algorithms to the news feed. It started off as a means to get people to click more, but it's now very clear that people click on what outrages them more than anything else. And for a lot of people, Facebook is the internet - something FB worked very hard to achieve. So I have sympathy with Facebook because I don't think these issues are easy to solve (yes, of course, ban Infowars. It's a toxic dump. But others will be more debatable). But they also knowingly and deliberately put themselves in the position they occupy today. This mess is making them an obscene amount of money, they should try harder to clean it up.
