    This is not the first time, back in the early 2010s Facebook did an experiment with the DoD and some universities to see if they could influence people by controlling the tone of the posts in their feed, they did not inform the user. This and many others is why I don’t use facebook.

    Facebook becoming a weapons company literally sounds like an American Dad episode.

    I fucking hate this timeline.
