Cyrus, you are kind of making my morning!

Long story short, Facebook and other social media sites have their algorithms manipulate people into longer engagement by making their users more angry. Anger = longer engagement = greater revenues and profits.

It's quite well researched and documented, but still not widely understood, especially by their users. This is the primary cause of the huge fissures that are opening up in America.

If you want to see what Facebook is capable of doing, just check on Myanmar and what happened to the Rohingyas in 2015. Zuckerberg should stand in front of an international court for crimes against humanity for not having moderators in Myanmar to stop this from happening, as it was all predicated on lies.

That's why they're in a tough situation right now in the US. Facebook is greedy and wants our money and profits, but don't want another Myanmar. They are walking that tightrope, and the balancing act they are attempting is not making people happy.
