Yea, this time is different. It's just about selling newspapers. Cambridge Analytica was a scandal that boiled down to: FB gave your data to other people without asking you. The EU, state of CA, other states passed privacy laws that companies will get in trouble for misusing data. Newspapers made a bunch of money, meaningful change happened. In this case, what's the core issue? FB sometimes makes people feel bad? Spreads misinformation? How are we going to fix that? Fox News spreads misinfo. Cosmo magazine makes people feel bad about their bodies. Are we going to start running sentiment surveys for every news or entertainment product so we can shut down the ones that are above X%? Common theme of the articles coming out now just seems to be "We got some inside dirt, it's going to make you angry, come take a look." Gonna sell some papers, but I don't see what the meaningful change will be. I know some want to shut down or break up FB, maybe that's the endgame of all this. I don't see a world where driving kids further onto Snap, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, whatever is gonna change anything about misinfo or how they feel.
