Indeed. Our polarization didn’t just happen on its own.@facebook @Twitter & @YouTube have pushed us there. Even if it was accidental, it was still by design. https://t.co/U1Mgbc6cge

Pretty dramatic congressional testimony here from Facebook’s former director of monetization, who admits he had a role in making Facebook as addictive as cigarettes.

I have been saying things like this for years, but I'm an alarmist. When the people who built social media are saying it, it's truly time to be alarmed. https://t.co/ldsBAHobph

I interviewed Tim Kendall once and he definitely didn’t seem like the “burn it all down” type. He’s a business guy.

Kendall worked at Facebook from 2006 to 2010. The company may play this off as a disgruntled ex-employee from 10 years ago, but the fact is that he served during the company's formative period. Growth is in the company's DNA.

An interesting parallel between the Trump admin and the Facebook oligarchy is the never-ending stream of people who try to repent their past sins publicly so that they can look at their kids’ faces. https://t.co/UPoeIruX3W

These algorithms have brought out the worst in us. They’ve literally rewired our brains so that we’re detached from reality and immersed in tribalism.
