Facebook Must Really Suck At Machine Learning
My suspicion is that it&#x27;s not that Facebook sucks at machine learning, but that they are scared of public backlash when their algorithm accidentally takes a story from Breitbart and classifies it (arguably correctly) as fake news.  At that point Facebook is derided as a tool of the liberal msm (after all it&#x27;s run by liberal Silicon Valley technocrats), and from there eyeballs go elsewhere and Facebook is harmed.<p>Better for them to feign ignorance and lie to themselves.
