Facebook needs to kill the cash cow: the Open Graph enhanced optimized news feed. When FB was used for sharing pics of your kids or seeing what your friends were up to at school, there wasn't any major issues with sedition that I remember.
Then they added the news feed. Questions:
1. Why can't users turn off the news feed permanently and only see user-created posts?
2. Why can't users organize/sort their news feed how they like rather than being "optimized"?
3. Why isn't Facebook making sure to include articles from respected news sources (NPR, NYT, WSJ, Axios, etc.) in everyone's feed?
Why doesn't FB do any of these obvious solutions to bring everyone out of their silos and set a baseline of truth again? Because all those "kind and thoughtful" people working there would lose millions. That's way more important than the future of the country.
Edit: Also, every media outlet in the country are hypocrites as well. They shouldn't allow sharing on Facebook until they clean up their act, or at the minimum, stop using Open Graph on their web pages, making the share a simple URL.
