Social media controls the world

A backslash in the closing tag? Newb.

Yeah, it’s a joke, should have clarified.

So it turns out that the majority of speech is either trivial or dumb, or both.

Like that should be a surprise to anyone. :)

Sturgeon’s Law strikes again.

Oh, boy

This is their fix? I wonder what could go wrong.

In Soviet Facebook…wait, that’s just regular Facebook.

Those silo walls keep getting higher and higher!

That was my first thought.

“Ooh! This site looks legit! Look at all the Facebook users that have vouched for it!”

It’d be interesting if they specifically showed to stuff that you didn’t already trust.

It’s pronounced bigbooTAY!

Yep. I expect various click bait, racist sites to become the “most trusted” news on Facebook, while stuff like NYT and WaPo to be at the bottom.

I mean… it’s basically an internet poll. The easiest thing in the world to rig. On top of that it ignores the core issue by putting it on users. Cause God forbid Facebook had to do anything.

Facebook’s answer is “a poll”? Jesus. Its like Valve’s answer is always “a graph”.

You are in the editorial business. Do some fucking work.

Honestly, I have a hard time really justifying the idea that Facebook had responsibility here.

People are idiots. It’s not Facebook’s fault.
