I'm not familiar with the harm Facebook does to the world, because I don't generally use facebook or care to read news about it.

With that being said, in this particular case, how is facebook to decide what is moral? Would you suggest that they put together an investigative team to decide which moral news organizations are negatively affected by the changes, and exclude said organizations? Surely the new "experiments" do not target purely moral organizations; it's indiscriminate. Even within this thread we have active debate surrounding whether or not stories should be fed through the black-box algorithm.




If Facebook fails, it doesn’t just affect Facebook’s users - it affects the whole world.
