<i>You are probably a person who has been online for a long time, and seen a lot. You have expectations that are not similar to the majority of FB users. They are mostly young people, or poor, or from poor countries who only have a cheap Android phone, no laptop, don&#x27;t know what Twitter is and they discover Facebook for the first time.</i><p>This argument seems remarkably similar to the sort of argument once used to justify the dictatorial rule of colonial strongmen. &quot;You don&#x27;t understand these people, they don&#x27;t value the thing you value, for them a sense of security is much more important than choice.&quot; etc.<p>Which is to say that its pretty patronizing assumption.<p>I use FB for hours a day, Facebook is probably my main Internet outlet. I think it&#x27;s problematic that FB substitutes their version of how they expect you to filter things for giving their users control over how their news feed is filtered. Lots of &quot;unsophisticated&quot; users complain about this and there are even cargo-cult methods used by the unsophisticated to get control over their feed (such the &quot;disclaimer post&quot; purporting to give the average Facebook user some extra legal rights over their posts).
