No shite, isn’t that how algorithms work on social media?

I actually said the same thing. Actually I said "oh so in 2018 they started doing what google has been doing for years".

I haven’t watched what she said yet but if it’s how bad white people then she can frick off. If this country was a racist as some believe then those same people that believe that would have been wiped out long ago.

There was not one mention of race. To sum it up, she talks about how the algorithm keeps people on FB longer.

I think most people would agree social media is a problem. It can be a helpful tool, but it can also be dangerous. If I recall, they say 60% of people with internet access uses FB which is 2.6 billion people. Having the ability to reach out to that many people gives FB a lot of power.

Personally, I think social media is dangerous and how it is used needs to be revised. I don't know how that should be done, but when what people see can be controlled that is a problem.
