<i>&quot;Whether your statement is based on disingenuous confusion or simple ignorance doesn&#x27;t matter at this point because you&#x27;ve made your own post largely irrelevant and quite frankly it ticked me off a little bit&quot;</i><p>Your personal attacks on me are actually proving my point. In your original post, you said:<p><i>&quot;In the specific case of conservative politics, why does it matter that it&#x27;s so skewed? I have absolutely no issue with, in this specific case, conservative politics not receiving much attention.&quot;</i><p>That&#x27;s a form of censorship and manipulation, especially because Facebook is not seen as an editorialized news source, but rather as a representation of one&#x27;s community. You seem to think it isn&#x27;t censorship though:<p><i>&quot;I am not sure how you are confusing me and facebook&#x27;s curation system not giving attention to certain sources and positions based on their credibility and integrity with actively preventing people from speaking.&quot;</i><p>This had nothing to do with credibility or integrity. It was a group of people with a very specific political ideology that were subjectively picking news and having it appear in an organic feed, when it was really editorialized.<p>I&#x27;m not confusing you with Facebook&#x27;s curation system. You&#x27;re entitled to your opinion. I&#x27;m telling you why your opinion shouldn&#x27;t be applied at scale (in this case, to a system that appears organic) and also why you should care about this not just for this one incident, but for the implications that this has on a larger scale.<p>So you don&#x27;t care about conservative views getting silenced here. After all, conservatives are wrong, right? But what if the major media outlet changes it&#x27;s mind and starts to think liberals are wrong, and thus silences liberal content? How will you feel then? This isn&#x27;t about political ideologies. It&#x27;s about the implications of an unprecedentedly large and trusted media outlet taking sides and deliberately influencing it&#x27;s audience. Liberal or conservative, that&#x27;s dangerous.
