Facebook may not be doing anything illegal, but it is immoral. While morality is subjective, and not enforceable, the public needs to know what is happening, so they can make their mind about supporting a given company.
- onemoresoop 5y agoFacebook is not doing anything illegal only because there are in relatively new space the law hasn't caught up with yet.
- chasd00 5y agoi agree, legislating morality has never worked. However, legislation to inform the consumer has worked. Social media should be forced to inform the consumer when/how they're being targeted. When a user is shown 15 pieces of content it should be crystal clear the platform is trying to tease out an emotional response from them and not just showing them their friend's posts. Maybe a warning label like "This content was algorithmically curated to elicit the maximum emotional response from you".
