Bingo.
Facebook started out as social media platform for humans, now every local news station, your favorite burger joint, and any "news" website on the web can have a Facebook profile convincing enough to look legit.
Instead of fixing the news on Facebook lets take the news out of Facebook.
Which is almost as impossible as "directly interferes with the business model of the company so it's probably never going to happen."
- organsnyder 7y agoI don't think that corporate presence on Facebook is really the problem. Facebook is designed to maximize user engagement. That doesn't conflate with truthfulness of content (user- or corporate-posted)—in fact, often times it's the opposite. Of course, this isn't new—yellow journalism was a big problem in the early 20th century. But Facebook's algorithm—and the ease of starting new media outlets—makes it orders of magnitude worse.
