- Benjammer 5y agoI mean, yeah. Doesn't make it reasonable. You can either argue it's unreasonable or argue that Facebook should behave "ethically" here, I don't think you can have both. It seems like people want Facebook to help everyone to have a strong opinion based on zero knowledge, but they want everyone to have the "correct" opinion. I think social media doesn't give people "the wrong opinion," I think it gives people opinions in general when they shouldn't have any.
