Facebook tries to guess my interests from when I hit the Like button: people’s cat photos, anniversary celebrations, somebody posting about their trip to Tahiti. So they push promotion posts about cat food (I have dogs),Viking Cruises (don’t have the money to travel) and fine dining establishments (only family restaurants for me). Nice try, Facebook.
judging by this rubbish from the Reuters’ article -
- Tom Gara, opinion editor at BuzzFeed News, wrote on Twitter that he expected partisan outlets to fare worse: “This sounds like extremely good news for news publishers that aren’t hated by one side or the other.” ...
News Corp, owner of the New York Post and other outlets, responded to the earlier Facebook announcement with a pledge to look for “any signs that the weighting of news sites is politically motivated.”
The Rupert Murdoch-led company had no immediate comment on Friday. -
FB should not consider Reuters to be ‘trustworthy’.
