The big myth Facebook needs everyone to believe

The big myth Facebook needs everyone to believe | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
The network, which markets itself as a neutral platform, has a huge role in shaping what's considered culturally acceptable around the world.
Laborious Cretin's comment, February 1, 2016 1:50 PM
Yes Facebook seemed ok at first, but the company seems to be corporate evil now. I never looked back after they locked my account. Though lately the add revenues reported by the site Vs. the actual people on the site. Seems way off, or a scam in some way to the advertisers. From banning atheist pages and keeping radical religious pages up, to banning some names and requiring people to give photo id so they can mine that also. Facebook just seems to biased and even evil in ways. Just my 2 cents

Who Really Controls What You See in Your Facebook Feed—and Why They Keep Changing It   

Who Really Controls What You See in Your Facebook Feed—and Why They Keep Changing It    | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Every time you open Facebook, one of the world’s most influential, controversial, and misunderstood algorithms springs into action. It scans and collects everything posted in the past week by each of your friends, everyone you follow, each group you belong to, and every Facebook page you’ve liked. For the average Facebook user, that’s more than 1,500 posts. If you have several hundred friends, it could be as many as 10,000. Then, according to a closely guarded and constantly shifting formula, Facebook’s news feed algorithm ranks them all, in what it believes to be the precise order of how likely you are to find each post worthwhile. Most users will only ever see the top few hundred.
