Shelly Palmer on Facebook’s decistion to rank news

Facebook, the social media giant, is going to let you rank the news you think is most valuable. What could possibly go wrong?” he writes and quotes Mark Zuckerberg,   “There’s too much sensationalism, misinformation and polarization in the world today. Social media enables people to spread information faster than ever before, and if we don’t specifically tackle these problems, then we end up amplifying them. That’s why it’s important that News Feed promotes high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground.” 

He then goes to show why the answer chosen by Facebook is not the answer. See here: https://www.shellypalmer.com/2018/01/facebook-ministry-truth/
