It's not like they have any context or history of gross, concerted efforts at manipulating public opinion through Facebook and/or a lack of social responsibility to draw upon. /s
- creddit 6y agoBut, like, here’s The Guardian having a go at a gross, concerted effort at manipulating public opinion. Should we have a problem with that?
- adamsea 6y agoYeah a newspaper article is not the same as a covert social media influence campaign :/. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
- creddit 6y agoWhat gives the newspapers special status here that changes it from being apples to apples? Why do newspapers get to use broadcast media to influence the public but others aren’t allowed or at least should be looked at negatively?
- adamsea 6y agoA combination of law, culture, and the financial incentives of the respective institutions.
