The way I read this:
1. Trump is pushing for a vaccine to be authorized before Election Day.
2. Democrats are saying a vaccine before Election Day should not be trusted.
3. A simple anti-vaxx detection algorithm would identify Democrats as anti-vaxxers
4. Zuckerberg either wants Facebook to stay out of this controversy, or he's siding with the Democrats.
- cblconfederate 6y agoThe way i read it is america's politics are a dangerous clusterfuck
- emerged 6y agoCurrently, there is a clamping operation occurring on all topics in the US. Media clamps to the left or right extreme, and both extremes are completely nutty. Those extremes at least used to be vaguely rational, or at least they somewhat managed to balance one another out.

- kedean 6y agoIt's more likely to me that Facebook recognizes that the anti-vaxx community is one of the most active and most engaged segment of their users. Suddenly banning the topic they care most about is going to trigger a mass exodus of some of their most valuable assets, while maintaining the status quo just causes a little bad publicity. I've yet to see any mass exits of users because FB isn't doing something about it, so that's the profitiable option for them.
- credit_guy 6y agoThis is a valid alternative hypothesis. The litmus test is if Zuckerberg will change his stance after the Election Day. We can only wait and see.
