Facebook could stop 10B impressions from “repeat misinformers”, but doesn't

Of course they don&#x27;t. Just like they don&#x27;t keep showing me things from &quot;WOW app&quot; and &quot;OMG app&quot; and &quot;WTF app&quot; or &quot;BBQ app&quot; (you get the point) that I have blocked&#x2F;hidden&#x2F;filtered repeatedly.<p>Facebook just wants to show you sensationalist trash and call it &quot;engagement.&quot;

Thanks but I’d rather decide what’s misinformation for myself.

And who determines what is “misinformation”?

The problem with articles like this (and advocacy groups like Avaaz) is that their definition of &quot;hateful&quot; and &quot;inaccurate&quot; content casts a rather large net of which their definition is rather nebulous.<p>Their claims are dubious at best.

just freaking leave facebook already, you don&#x27;t need it

I’m so tired of Facebook’s irresponsible behavior. I sold my FB stock even though I still believe it’ll go up, I just can’t participate in their bullshit.

I’m not spending time reading a salon article, but I’m willing to bet money that their definition of “repeat misinformer” is total bullshit.

Name one time in history when the group burning books and censoring people were the good guys.

This political group wants something, so they are just trying to make readers mad until they get it.

What happened to the wisdom of &quot;don&#x27;t believe what you read on the internet&quot;? There used to be a general skepticism that existed alongside the internet when I was a kid. I think people still remember this for the most part and the war on &#x27;misinformation&#x27; is essentially a battle of opinions and ideas, no facts.
