       Facebook is in fact, just as disgusting of a company as we thought (NYT article on how Facebook has done gross shit over the past three years and dozens of scandals)https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/technology/facebook-data-russia-election-racism.html

       @chosafine In the talk I gave earlier in the year I said that Facebook isn't some neutral bystander and that they can and do make governance decisions with wider political implications. This provides yet another example of that. If they had banned Trump then I'm not necessarily suggesting things in the US would have worked out any better but they might certainly have run a different course.
