>>Mark cant have an opinion
NONSENSE.
Zuckerberg only thinks he can't, and that <not having an opinion> is not itself an opinion.
These platforms focus on exploiting emotion and seeking 'engagement' to maximize time on platform and ads viewed/interacted with.
This creates a strong bias towards false information, since it appears to be more novel/surprising/engaging. Even without active corrupt injection of lies, conspiracy theories, dezinformatsiya, provokatsiya, etc., this will bend away from the truth.
They need to focus strongly on filtering for facts and truth, and yes, that means suppressing all of the above.
Zuck thinks he's not in the business of publishing, despite corralling all the biggest publishes onto his platform, adn providing advertising to the likes of Russian trolls and Cambridge Analytica.
He needs to recognize what he is actually doing and take editorial responsibility for his platform.
