Long of short of it:

Facebook claims to have these incredible algorithms that put content in front of you that you need to see, or want to see.

One of the things has been the slant and bias of news on Facebook. This article explains that their "algorithm's" dirty little secret is that it's actually a room full of people.

These people tell you what to think and what to see. They control it all - without oversight.

They lied, in a nutshell. They lied. And they are told to keep their presence at Facebook as "ultra-secret" with enough division between the contractors and management to allow plausible deniability.

I thought that facebook was getting way to intrusive so I dropped it simply by not using it tbey don’t even email me now. I get most of my news here at FR and stay ahead of the MSM by a day or two.
