  • Let’s fucking go

    The Facebook Files made – and provided evidence for – multiple allegations, including that Facebook was well aware of how toxic Instagram was for many teen girls; that Facebook has a “secret elite” list of people for whom Facebook’s rules don’t apply; that Facebook knew its revised algorithm was fueling rage; and that Facebook didn’t do enough to stop anti-vax propaganda during Covid-19. Most damningly of all, The Facebook Files reported that all of these things were well known to senior executives, including Mark Zuckerberg.

    It’s clear which side Sorkin is taking. “I blame Facebook for January 6,” he said last year. “Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible. Because that is what will increase engagement … There’s supposed to be a constant tension at Facebook between growth and integrity. There isn’t. It’s just growth.”

    I took my kids to visit their grandparents, and then we went to the town celebration. Lots of red, white, and maple leaves, but nothing too patriotic otherwise.

    We’re heading to the fireworks later. They’re small, but it’s a nice community event. I always hope there’s a spontaneous round of Oh Canada after - that happened once on a foggy Canada Day in Halifax and it was amazing.
