There has been backlash against Facebook after it was involved in a psychology experiment that manipulated the news feeds of 700,000 users without their knowledge to see if "exposure to emotions led people to change their own posting behaviours" (i.e. if being exposed to negative posts meant users were more likely to post negative comments themselves).
