This title provided by the OP is intentionally misleading and taken from a quote by Roger McNamee.

There are other platforms out there (liveleak and worldstarhiphop for example) that it only takes a minute or less to reach extreme content. If Facebook really desired what the OP suggested, assumed by Roger McNamee to push ad revenue by engagement then that’s exactly the first video one would see when logging in Facebook. The first video I see is always some shallow inspirational video by an “influencer” or a Buzz feed video on cooking.

Dang, I’d rather at least the original title be used so that anyone reading the article can reach their own conclusion and then bring whatever fire and brimstone need be.



This was the original title linking from the front page of CBC
