Fakebook? Facebook Fires Human Editors and Lets Algorithm Take Over; Immediately Posts Completely Fake News Stories
When it came out earlier this year that Facebook ordered its trending news editors (which the company ever-so-sweetly referred to as “news curators”) to deliberately suppress conservative stories while pushing news about Black Lives Matter as if they were “trending” when they weren’t, Facebook responded by firing all of its human editors entirely.
They were promptly replaced by an algorithm.
The algorithm promptly trended completely fake news stories like this one about Fox’s Megyn Kelly:
Facebook wrote this about the automation of its trending news, “A more algorithmically driven process allows us to scale Trending to cover more topics and make it available to more people globally over time. This is something we always hoped to do but we are making these changes sooner given the feedback we got from the Facebook community earlier this year…”
“Feedback” includes widespread outrage that Facebook was caught overtly censoring some stories and pushing others to trend that weren’t legitimately trending; in other words, editing reality.
They keep claiming the future doesn’t need us, but can you imagine how screwed up things are going to be if they let robots and computers completely take over running things? It’s hard enough to keep track of what’s real now…
