Look at this shit.

TL;DR. Company originally claiming that job was performed by algorithms now claims people pretending to be algorithms had jobs replaced by actual algorithms. Algorithms have no strong feelings about the increased workload. We hope.

If it’s true, it’s not just the right wing that will be angry. People already feel Facebook is manipulative and unethical; this is just more fuel for the fire.

Kudos to Gizmodo for giving this issue a serious examination. I admit that I would have predicted a Gawker site to participate in the very same hide-newsworthy-conservative-subjects editorializing that apparently Facebook did. Thanks for proving me wrong.

Hopefully folks get their news from multiple sources. Not just Facebook, or Gawker for that matter. But I suspect not.

The lack of cohesive message on this from the rest of the world is a fine example of how we cannot cooperate on any common sense issues, anymore. Everyone should have a problem with what China is doing. The level of outrage should be deafening.
