That is a fair point, though in the sense of "mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all". People end up in bubbles because they're most receptive to particular type of content and that is what they end up engaging with. But yes, if it was up to me, I would kill the Share button and get an unfiltered view of my connections' updates, like in the early days.
- bopbeepboop 6y agoThis isn’t true: Facebook allows people to target the viewers with weaponized psychology to prime that feedback loop. Further, the loops are meant to steer emotions by reordering content — something no user asked for when FB conducted its human experiments on emotional manipulation. It’s simply not true that the algorithm “reflects” what users want or interact with — it purposefully injects FB’s biases via nudges and their customers biases via weaponized psychology inserts. I think it’s telling the people defending FB’s conduct can’t be honest about what that conduct is.
