- Facebook experiments with democracy in 6 developing countries as part of their running test of the new feature called "Explore Feed". Facebook implements this feed to separate public posts from private posts on people's newsfeeds. But in countries like Slovakia, Serbia, Sri Lanka, or Cambodia, Facebook users all of a sudden stopped seeing important news coverage from credible sources. This experiment with democracy adds up to the list of Facebook attempts to manipulate newsfeed for "research purposes". These feature currently running in the chosen countries isn't planned to roll out globally.

The New York Times is also paranoid like me about Facebook's power to influence everything that's going on around the world and around you.
• How Facebook is Changi...
Facebook has started experimenting with democracy in six small countries around the world. In Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cambodia, Facebook removed all professional media and content from Facebook pages from the main newsfeed. The main newsfeed will now see only posts by friends and sponsors and everything else is supposed to be in its designated Explore Feed.
The purpose of splitting the feeds as in Facebook’s own words has been to separate personal content from public.
In these six countries, Facebook removed all established publishers’ content from the main feed, even coming from those sources users chose to follow. All of these countries coincidentally have ongoing democratic development and their political climate is very eruptive. Overnight, these people have stopped seeing important coverage from outlets they decided to follow.
The main personal feed is nowhere near personal either. Facebook will let paid content through. Which means that established advertisers will see their content popping through. Huge mainstream media corporations will essentially manage to get through the paywall in form of advertisements. But important coverage and content from smaller publishers, and new start-ups who rely on the social media interactions will be burned down.

Does this make you want to delete your Facebook? If you haven't done so already?
i think youtube is doing exactly the same.
Life is better without Facebook saying after 6-7 months without it. Deleted it after 9 years of usage.
Wow O.O
We aren't the one's using facebook, because Facebook is using us. The only way to change how social media manipulates people's lives is to inform people about what these big corporations are doing to society. We need to prove that there is a time for change. the only way to do that is to use social media against itself .
I hate you so much /s. Much love :)
People should come out of Facebook
Should I switch from windows 10 to linux mint 18.2
If only sharing this with my school would stop them from using facebook for posting announcements. I can understand that it is convenient to use for anyone to let other students know what is going on, but there are other systems in place for them to use. Still, I'll share this with others in hope that they stop using it.
can you create a discord server for all your fans to talk to each other and talk to you.
i swear you are turning me into a crazy conspiracy theorist... i have installed linux exclusively use duck duck go created a proton mail account... surf the web with tor or firefox... it's like these things mattered to me before, but i didn't have a clear idea of what exactly i should do... the thing i am addicted to the most though is youtube i want to break away from it, but don't exactly know how.
Fuck Facebook, never been on it, never will! Universal Basic Income my Ass
You should make a video on net neutrality.
I h8 Fakebook! Who is really Mark Zuckerberg?? That's the question to ask yourself.
Journalism is increasingly dead the longer investigative journalism is dead. Nobody got the money to pay someone when you can run a script to scrap content from other places. Small publishers often don't write them stories like they used to, it's all reuters copypasta and so on. At best you got journalists picking up stories and providing a personal perspective, but who's gonna pay people on the ground actually investigating? Facebook being facebook is concerning as well, though.
