If I was a higher up at FB, I'd consider the risks to me as a business of these issues of polarization, and I'd spend according on advice and evaluation (a lot). For example, if FB comes to be seen as a kind of mind control platfo

Just to cherry-pick from your reply here, if $2M is the biggest ticket item you have to show for independent research on this topic - then you're woefully short given Facebook's revenues and size. 10 short years ago, nobody could

Here in new Zealand we are embarked on a total eradication path. Just yesterday a friend was espousing that even if we succeed, sooner or later we'll have to join Sweden anyway (unless a vaccine arrives) as the only alternative is to k

The reason HN works (well one reason) is vigorous moderation and a stamping out of any mode of discourse apart from collegial intellectual discussion. As a result, we don't see memes or most of the other cheap humour you will find on e
