This is where statements #1 and #2 ultimately conflict. One is aspirational; the other reflects an existing reality. Network effects and inertia are powerful things, and they’re what made Facebook big in the first place. That fundamental dynamic isn’t going away. — PolitiTweet.org

This is especially the case if you accept Facebook’s claim that news makes up only a tiny proportion of the news feed. If that’s true, what was already a small fraction of people’s experience will not be missed by users, but the result will be a loss of pushback on misinfo. — PolitiTweet.org
