I'm not sure this is explained well. Everything is still accessible, it's just put on different tab. Now there's "News Feed" as before and "Activity Feed", the tab just below "News Feed" tab.
It's really annoying from my experience, I just forget to check that other tab also. Basically your feed is now split to what your friends posted and what pages you follow posted.
The effect author describes might as well be attributed to people: a) not realizing there is another tab to check, b) people forget to check other tab (I'm one of those).
From UX standpoint it might be an improvement, but I'd rather see it implemented as filter you can switch on/off than hardcoded tab you have to remember to check.
For comments advising author not using Facebook, I don't see where that goes? It's just how media works in our country and Facebook is most common social network that all groups of people follow, and there is quite a lot (otherwise censored) political information floating around on it.
Specifically:
> You change the situation by making a choice. If your choice is to have Facebook account, then you are part of the problem, not the solution.
That's all nice and visionary, but in countries where you can cut yourself off of alternative news sources by not following Facebook I don't see how that's good advice.
