1/ First of all, Facebook can fuck off to hell:
2/ Facebook not only robbed news orgs of their revenue, and tricked them into fraudulent "pivot to video" schemes, it basically buries the news YOU SIGNED UP TO SEE in your newsfeed. Break it up. Regulate it. Burn it to the ground. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
3/ Haven't used Facebook in 6 months and it feels great.
4/ Facebook's changes to its algorithm punished legitimate news orgs while privileging Fox (which isn't one) and far worse (both right and left) niemanlab.org/2019/03/one-ye…
5/ If you work for Facebook, or Twitter, or YouTube etc and you are not spending your every working day fighting for change and transparency, understand that your kids will look back on you with horror. If they live to tell the tale.
6/ These platforms are:
*destabilizing democratic governments
*promoting hate and division of all kinds
*spreading anti-vax and other dangerous medical and scientific falsehoods
So when the world is a charred lump, you can tell the straggling survivors why you just had to vest.
