The problem is not a lack of transparency, because being “transparent” doesn’t actually matter. The only thing revealed by this transparency is that social media companies do not give a fuck about this.

Pretty much sums it up. Toxic social media platforms which rely solely on advertising are destroying society to make a couple people more money. Nobody seems to care.

They absolutely do give a fuck. Their entire business model depends on it.

This is interesting but has been happening for an entire decade now. I wish they’d stop acting like it’s new.

The 2016 U.S. election was affected by foreign facebook activity. Specifically, a lot from from Macedonia.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
