Which report is this? I&#x27;ve seen the Facebook press release, I&#x27;ve seen Tom Stocky&#x27;s post, but I&#x27;ve never seen this report. Source?<p>And the biggest issue I have, is that as far as I know, from January 2014 to present, Facebook&#x27;s help page was written in a way to mislead users on how trending topics actually work [1]. From reading that help description, most users, including me, imagined Trending topics to work as &#x2F;u&#x2F;cft described. Yet that page has no mention that <i>every single</i> trending article on Facebook is curated by a human. How is that not an enormous oversight?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;737806312958641" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;737806312958641</a> How does Facebook determine what topics are trending?<p>&gt; <i>Trending shows you topics that have recently become popular on Facebook. The topics you see are based on a number of factors including engagement, timeliness, Pages you&#x27;ve liked and your location.</i><p>&gt; <i>On a computer, the topics are grouped into 5 categories: All News, Politics, Science and Technology, Sports and Entertainment.</i>
