  The problem is not a lack of transparency, because being “transparent” doesn’t actually matter. The only thing revealed by this transparency is that social media companies do not give a fuck about this.

  Pretty much sums it up. Toxic social media platforms which rely solely on advertising are destroying society to make a couple people more money. Nobody seems to care.

    They absolutely do give a fuck. Their entire business model depends on it.

  This has been happening for an entire decade now. I wish they’d stop acting like it’s new.

  The 2016 U.S. election was affected by foreign facebook activity. Specifically, a lot from from Macedonia.
