Notice something missing from the headline and the Tweets? Don’t worry…it’s mostly missing from the article itself too. Zero mention of just how heavily Facebook execs, from the top down, helped tailor and even cheat the algorithm to privilege and push extreme right-wing content as a matter of policy. Just paeans to ‘extremism’ and ‘conspiracy theory’ while leaving it mostly an implication that it’s a spectrum-wide problem .You know, both sides, same thing.
