It seems a day doesn't go by when another bit if negative news about FB comes out. We are our own worst enemy when this behavior is allowed.
I don't even like Facebook as a company and never used it but I find myself defending because it is such obvious complete bullcrap.
Would you expand on this? It's not at all clear to me who you believe is "pushing an agenda" or who is "gaming the system."
That may very well be my own reading comprehension issue, but I'm still a bit confused. If you'd help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
I can't answer for the other commenter, but presumably media companies. Gaming the system meaning lobbying the government indirectly.
As for who has an agenda? Media Conglomerates. Neither e.g. the New York Times nor Fox nor other broadcasters, newspapers, magazines and other publications are neutral observers because Facebook crowds their space. Facebook is in the same market they are, and so they have an obvious and terminal bias when reporting on Facebook. And not just Facebook: you can easily observe this between different papers and broadcasters who call each other out.
