Why this Facebook scandal is different - Vox - Truths Frances Haugen invested 15 years working for some of the biggest social networks companies on the planet including Google, Pinterest, and till Might, Facebook. A Reliable Source stopped Facebook on her own accord and left with countless pages of internal research and interactions that she showed the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On Sunday, in her very first interview, Haugen informed 60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley about what she called "systemic" issues with the platform's ranking algorithm that resulted in the amplification of "mad material" and divisiveness. Proof of that, she said, is in the business's own internal research study."Facebook's mission is to link people all around the world," stated Haugen.  And publishers are saying, 'Oh, if I do more angry, polarizing, divisive content, I get more money.' Facebook has actually established a system of rewards that is pulling individuals apart."Haugen stated Facebook changed its algorithm in 2018 to promote "what it calls significant social interactions" through "engagement-based rankings." She explained that content that gets engaged with such as responses, comments, and shares gets larger circulation. |
