As much as I'd love to see Instagram erased from this timeline, this is really not a great look for the entire global economy and the lengths companies will go to prevent this is in the future will probably not be pleasant for their employees.

Is this an inside job? I have no idea.

After the 60 Minutes report, they'll probably be spying on employees for that reason.

Is there anything to the 60 minutes thing? The whistleblower wanted them to censor their users more? Makes Facebook seem like the good guys if thats all there is. 'Spreading hate and misinformation' = free communication, yeah?

I think the only valid complaint for me was that the algorithm promotes some messages over others. Facebook algorithm is very evil, but that's old news.

What they want is for the algorithm to promote shit MSM want promoted.

Driving engagement is fulfilling their fiduciary duty to stockholders. Its not clear to me the whistleblower is worthy of that title. 'I prefer we make the user experience worse, hurting the value of the company in the service of my political goals.'

Agree she's not a whistleblower. Facebook did nothing wrong, they were just insufficiently righteous.
