I recommend a utility called Facebook Purity.
In fact, Facebook dislikes it so much they suppress the link to its Facebook page ;)
But it allows the user to control what’s on the screen. The ‘trending’ silliness (nothing more than exhortation to groupthink) can be removed altogether. ‘Most recent’ can (finally) be forced as the default timeline option. Many other uses.
Facebook is biased against conservatism? I am shocked, absolutely shocked.
Sure Facebook does. Facebook is an enemy of the Republic.
only the insufficiently cynical are surprised by this
but,, its FREE !!!
Yup... I’ve had a few conservative or anti progressives posting on Faceboob disappear down a memory hole more than once...
Zuckerburg like Obama, has a wish to be a “Little Hitler”!!! No matter how you look at it, both of them are poison for the USA!!! End of story!!!
Never had face book and never will.
Why care? FB is “free”. Just don’t touch it. Shouldn’t that be obvious?
Social "engineering" by either government or any other self-appointed arbiter of news or truth can never have a role in my life.
We just can do what we can to ban the dark side from our lives.
Facebook is “free” to its users. So how does it make money? By selling personal data you provide them. If the government were to pass a law that companies couldn’t use personal information about a person without their express written consent, Facebook would collapse, and Zukerberg would lose his billions.
And it could get much worse: if we find out that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ordered this "tweaking" of the News Feed on the behest of the White House, the Democratic National Committee and/or the Hillary Clinton campaign, then it officially becomes a Federal First Amendment case because it is using an instrument of communication to suppress political dissent, something prohibited specifically by the First Amendment.
If I were Jack Dorsey (the CEO of Twitter), Larry Page and Sergei Brin (the co-founders of Google), Satya Nadella (the CEO of Microsoft, who runs the Bing search engine), Sheryl Sandberg (the CEO of Yahoo!), and Evan Spiegel (the CEO of Snapchat), I would be VERY nervous because people are going to start asking questions on whether Conservative views were deliberately suppressed on social media and web search results. And especially if it was done in cahoots with powerful political people on the Left. And Tim Cook (Apple CEO) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) will be asked whether voice command queries with Apple's Siri system or the Amazon Echo device have the same biases.
This is the type of scandal that could cause TREMENDOUS harm to the tech industry in very short order.
Facebook is censoring me!!!!
Sorry, Steve, but on MY computer you are SELF censoring.
YOU are the one who has CHOSEN to place so many time wasting and useless ADs on your webpage; cluttering up what you are trying to get across.
FORCING me (ha ha) to twiddle my thumbs while waiting for the junk to finish before I can finally scroll down to see the rest of what you have produced.
Again; sorry; but I’ve got better ways to waste my time.
