A friend of mine died and I didn't know because of algorithms
Blaming Facebook in this is really weird. You didn&#x27;t know about it because you weren&#x27;t really friends. You were acquainted, yes, but you didn&#x27;t actually keep in touch. If it weren&#x27;t for Facebook you&#x27;d never consider him a friend, just some guy you knew.
I&#x27;m sorry this seems insesnsitive, but Facebook isn&#x27;t reality, and it&#x27;s a company trying to make money. It should be accountable for the damage it does for society, but it can&#x27;t be accountable for the way we manage our friendships. That part is our responsibility as humans.
