Facebook’s Walled Wonderland Is Inherently Incompatible with News
&gt; We are not in the business of picking which issues the world should read about. We are in the business of connecting people and ideas — and matching people with the stories they find most meaningful. Our integrity depends on being inclusive of all perspectives and view points, and using ranking to connect people with the stories and sources they find the most meaningful and engaging.<p>Simply incredible. They are asserting themselves only as a business and not emotional influencers. The emotional influences that facebook brings in people is very powerful. I have seen so many of my friends just vanishing from my feed and almost all of my feed is filled with a couple of pages that I see&#x2F;interact often. The bubbles are getting incredibly smaller that its very worrying.<p>A very good example that I saw is the `demonetisation of higher denominations` in India. I was shocked to see the amount of ignorance my close friends showed on how the poor people of our country were left to suffer. So many never read any sort of arguments against the govt&#x27;s move. They read only pro posts. They were quite visibly upset when being told about how 70+ people have died because of this and all that. I saw a bubble being burst with my own eyes. 
When there is no way to argue then its not a democracy at all. It favors fanatics because hate&#x2F;fear spreads faster than love&#x2F;acceptance.<p>Facebook simply kills democracy for their own benefit.
