Zuckerberg, in his hearing about the election thing, said "you control your feed on Facebook", or something.
I find that hard to believe. I find that VERY hard to believe. Either he is completely ignorant, or he has no problem lying to the general public. Because between forcing Top Stories and broadcasting things you never meant to broadcast... well, it's a bald faced lie.
Why can't these companies either listen to their customers directly or if they absolutely must make user hostile decisions, say that they must do that because the venture capitalists demand it? I'm getting very tired of the "feedback matters to us" when it clearly doesn't.
I ran a simple experiment in 2016. Facebook lets you mark posts you don’t want to see, so I did that for any post with the string “Trump” in it, for about two weeks.
