"SNIP.....

Several days after the election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg agreed to increase the weight that the social networks algorithm to make sure “authoritative news” appeared more prominently, the New York Times reports.

“The change was part of the ‘break glass’ plans Facebook had spent months developing for the aftermath of a contested election. It resulted in a spike in visibility for big, mainstream publishers like CNN, The New York Times and NPR, while posts from highly engaged hyperpartisan pages, such as Breitbart and Occupy Democrats, became less visible.”

2. What's funny is both sides think that

On a local weather page in FB they were taking about how much they disliked FB and most wanted to change, I knew guy who ran it is conservative even though he tries to stay nonpartisan.

Some talked of Parler which is weird after attack today.
