There was a time when the FB newsfeed was chronological, and just showed what your fiends posted as they post them.
It seems like less blame for the world's problems could be put on FB if it was just treated as a dumb bulletin board. Why not go back to Facebook being a "dumb pipe?"
- blackflame7000 8y agoFacebook went public and now has an obligation to shareholders to make money so that means replacing the dumb pipe with highly targetted ads and articles
- themacguffinman 8y agoHow does that change Facebook's dilemma? Facebook faces PR pressure because they host the content at all, serving it chronologically or non-chronologically makes no difference. Who is complaining that the problem is really that Facebook serves white nationalist content in the wrong order?
