While there are still lessons to be learned from how the Russians used the social platform to sow discord ahead of America's 2016 presidential election, critics say Facebook — and Zuckerberg — aren't acting quickly enough to prevent meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.
"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened," said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google. His work centers on how technology can ethically steer the thoughts and actions of the masses on social media and he's been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience" by The Atlantic magazine.

Indeed. What's worse is that the reason that the media is failing is because they're pushing faux-left ideology. After reading WSWS for a while, I go back to WaPo or similar, and it's like a wasteland. I don't care about the things WaPo is reporting. They're all distractions. It's all bullshit about waaah waaah Trump won and sucking Zuckerfuck's cock by providing zero information to readers about Failbook alternatives. The reporters have no spine and offer no analysis. Just yet another article that's telling me why I should be blinded by outrage.
Yeah, Trump won. What are we going to do about it? All the press has to offer is impotent rage.
