Brain worms are more powerful than arguments?
I mean, once you heard that Hillary was running a child trafficking ring from
under the cement pad on which a pizza parlor sat, could you EVER get that image
out your head?

Subject: [FRIAM] tl;dr what's facebook hiding?

I'll give you the punchline:
Maybe Facebook’s aggressive suppression of accurate assessments of
disinformation on its platform are driven by a desire to hide how expensive
(and profitable) political advertising it depends on is pretty useless.
I mean, we do find it pretty hard to change peoples' minds when they are made
up, how much should we believe that advertising can change anything?
