    1. I suspect that history won't look kindly on either 'We amplify people who promote Nazi-style white supremacy because we amplify everyone' or 'We amplify people who promote Nazi-style white supremacy because also Apple does that' mosseri/1188171203703271424

    Amplification of a particular voice has particular consequences and the fact that other people might be doing it doesn't allow Facebook to escape from that responsibility. theguardian.com/culture/2008/oct/09/radio.hitler.bbc.czechoslovakia

      Facebook can't pretend that it has no responsibility. Freedom of amplification is not freedom of speech. Facebook is not the only place on the internet, and there is no requirement it provide amplification, much less special amplification, to hatemongers.

          I suspect that Facebook doesn't see the "News Tab" as a methodology of amplification, in fact, I suspect Facebook sees it as the opposite: a way to remove the news from their tools of amplification and move it to something more like an RSS reader. Facebook is wrong.

            Presence on Facebook is itself amplification and that amplification is not neutral. Facebook's tech is not neutral. robinberjon hits this right on the nose - robinberjon/1188243760007778307
