That is pretty Orwellian of them. Are we at 'peak' facebook, or will they be able to continue growing from here?
Seems like trust and enthusiasm in their platform has been eroded to the point that they are much more vulnerable to competition than they were a year or two ago.
- andybak 8y agoCould you explain what exactly is Orwellian here? Not meaning to pick on you but you're currently the top comment that doesn't attempt to Chakrabarti engage with the topic. I don't see much evidence of anything other than a crap algorithm here as yet.
- cwkoss 8y agoOrwellian is often used to describe deliberate and malicious censorship of information, but I think perhaps this case is an even more accurate parallel: creating a convoluted automated system where all participants can believe they are acting ethically but the net effect is censorship of information which would damage the system and restriction of individual expression.
