- system2 5y agoFacebook didn't publish them under their own name. Corporations did it, paid or not paid, who cares. The point is the users must be intelligent enough not to use facebook as their news and learning platform. If they want to believe whatever and decide the fate of the planet, so be it. Natural selection wins, we die as stupid species and the planet wins. If it wasn't facebook, they'd find it elsewhere. Majority of the people is already opinionated and irreversibly ignorant.
- raxxorrax 5y agoI expect a lot of advertisements to lie to me to be honest, especially political ones. They should be marked as advertising and this is something that was actually improved in the last years, even just for affiliations as the industry tried to hide the nature of their messages. There are actually rules against false advertising, but they are ineffective. So people should have no illusion on content in ads. So much can be transported in education.
