Holy shit, OWS is still a thing?

I’m sure they are wrestling with that internally. Facebook was lying to their customers and being deceptive about their practices in the news feed. That is not a good thing to be doing. Gizmodo called them out on it and inadvertently created something worse.

It’s not Facebook. It’s the INTERNET SHEEPLE. We need to control what is printed on the INTERNETS. TRUMP NEEDS TO ASSIGN SOMEONE TO CONTROL THE INTERNET FOR TRUTH!

I don’t blame fb. Ignorance was around before fb and it will be around after it. But I do think it has exacerbated the issue of people staying in their echo chambers, conservatives and liberals, and not really caring to fact check sources and stuff like that. I see it on my own dash all the time and it’s a problem.

Just a reminder that Facebook’s news has been a disaster since YOU personally used anonymous sources to destroy fair curation. Honestly do you feel guilt?

Oh dear, you really are blaming Facebook for this.

Facebook needs a professional or trusted moderator system to rate shared articles or even shared sources based on journalistic standards.

....thus asking whatever happened too it...and here we sit, with a left leaning Gawker/Gizmodo Media Group blog lamenting that the corporate overlords didn’t do more to stifle speech and thought because the result of an election isn’t to their liking.

So we want FB policing peoples thoughts and comments and to do so we are going to label them as ‘media’ to hold them accountable.

Facebook didn’t invent Sheeple,it just gave them a convenient place to form groups and avoid opinions they didn’t agree with.

Dear liberals,

The whole “amateur” criticism is incredibly hypocritical. Trump is over 70 years old, and has decades upon decades of executive experience. In that regard, he will be one of the most experienced people ever to assume the office of President. Similarly, he has decades of experience of doing business internationally,…

Would you fuck right off with the political bullshit?

I come to Gizmodo for tech trends and items, not political discourse. If this is going to be standard fare for this site from now on, I’m outa here. Trump won, Hillary lost, get over it.

They do, I’m just not a full-time employee.

Not stepping into this argument, but people don’t realize that Obamacare really did not do much for small business who were doing the right thing and providing employer health care.

You mean that awesome Union that Gawker writer’s joined doesn’t give them health benefits? I think you’re mad at the wrong person.

Sensationalism is dangerous from both sides.

Calm down none of it matters that much.
