In the same way that newspapers in most places tried to be centrist and apolitical, Facebook tries to do the same, because it wants to engage with everyone to sell the advertisements. The things that make Facebook suck for politics are functions of decisions it has made to try to boost engagement. It shows you content to get you to comment and pass it on. The left-wing crap on Facebook is just as bad as the right-wing crap. Getting people agitated is a business plus.

No mas. I was talking about dumb people get fooled. That’s all.
