My concern is that I don't think that is the endgame. I think the endgame is a world where Facebook still seems to have a variety of news information, but it's heavily censored under the hood, and your parents/grandparents think you're talking nonsense if you bring up one of the topics Facebook fact checks don't allow.
- ninkendo 5y agoMaybe my preferred endgame is just a world without global social media, then.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoI'd MUCH prefer that to the alternative mentioned above.
- hairofadog 5y agoIs that not the situation we're in now? Facebook does act as if it's giving people a variety of news information, they do censor the things my relatives see, and my relatives do think I'm talking nonsense if I bring up one of the topics the algorithm doesn't allow them to see. We are there already.
- cloverich 5y agoMy relatives today think I am a misguided, manipulated communist because I believe in climate change and universal healthcare. Such is the experience of many of my friends so while I also find your end game concerning, that's how the internet as our parents (etc) experience it already works.

- stjohnswarts 5y agoI would like to hear about facebook cancelling out a major news source or even medical journal for forever for anything short of lying through their teeth. Do you have any? I will be happy to research it, but I have not seen anything of the sort. Banning Trump was a godsend in my opinion.
- kbelder 5y agoBackwards. It'll be your kids thinking you're talking nonsense, when you try to tell them about incidents that have been purged.
