News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I can see it having to do with the ordering of timeline events, the ads you see, and the news visible in the top right corner.

Yes, it would make a difference there. My question is in regards to the top-level comment, will people notice the difference?

For example: If my mother "cleared her history", I really doubt she would notice the worse quality of Facebook and regret deleting her data, as the top-level comment implied. So my point is it's not a move to show how effective the algorithms are, but a privacy-conscious one from Facebook.
