The problem with FB and all other platforms is they are replacing the market with their own algorithms to maximize advertising revenue.

Social media is a better platform for political ideas than newspapers or television. Every newspaper and TV channel ends up slanted towards one side of the other. The NYT goes for the Democrats, Fox News goes for the Republicans.

But social media is whatever you make of it. You can get either Democratic or Republican viewpoints from Facebook or Twitter.
