There was a lot of talk about how FB isn't doing enough, needs to get past its dream of a Wild-West freedom absent guardrails, needs to gain confidence, etc. I think this was CNBC. One interviewer launched a lengthy incoherent question prompting a guest to explain from 10,000 feet something about truth and the future. The guest duly responded with more platitudes about how time would tell. I read the piece you linked here hoping it would explain what the NYT is excited about this week, as I have no intention of reading a NYT piece. I'm still confused. While acting "doe-eyed" before Congress, Zuckerberg nevertheless hired evil political operatives who pointed out some kind of political agenda against FB, maybe originating in part from Soros? I particularly enjoyed how FB failed to ensure that its site was safer and less toxic, on the pretext that if it did so conservatives would advance baseless and evidence-free claims of discrimination. I hope Zuckerberg is learning something from all this.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-39513019673753405952018-11-15T19:38:11.627-05:002018-11-15T19:38:11.627-05:00The NYT is on about this, too.

That's just flat wrong: I've seen Uncle Jimbo's evidence of tampering with his Twitter account, and some others he's working with. There's very clear evidence. I would even go as far as "proof."Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-17804530228551842492018-11-15T11:46:44.758-05:002018-11-15T11:46:44.758-05:00And I love the claim that shadowbans on other plat...And I love the claim that shadowbans on other platforms is unproven.
