Social media's role transitions from:
? Communication tool - where we share
⬇️⬇️
? Social habitats - places we live
Even more reason why tech must serve public interest. https://t.co/WmMd40sbbp

Is Facebook really a "news powerhouse" again, thanks to coronavirus? (No more than it was before)https://t.co/4lpEZxtkCG
"More than half the articles being consumed on @Facebook in the US were related to the coronavirus.. Overall US traffic from Facebook to other websites also increased by more than 50% last week from the week before..owing to intense interest in the virus"https://t.co/S3o4WYKNlU

The fact that Facebook is seeing such a jump in news consumption related to the virus is important. Not because people are consuming it, but because of how varying the consumption is. We need a more media literate population to combat misinformation. https://t.co/H3pD8gMvFp

“At times, Facebook itself seemed unsure which news sources users would turn to in a crisis, with Mr. Subramanian noting that ‘fortunately’ many people were clicking on links from publishers that the company considers high-quality.” https://t.co/t5MJ3bwVsc

New by me and @gabrieldance: As the coronavirus crisis deepens, news on Facebook is booming. More than half the news being consumed in the US is about the virus, according to an internal report we obtained. https://t.co/yEnn2KLJx4

I simply love the idea that FB is universally bad despite OVERWHELMING evidence of batshit crazy usage of at least dozens things they do globally. See the tone here : https://t.co/0HQtNjjQFE

This article perfectly sums up our lives right now. I’ve refused to even have an Alexa in the past but my sister sent us all Facebook Portals last week and we love them and talk to each other constantly. Embracing the 3rd party doctrine sparks joy! https://t.co/9nNa06yLWc
