Well, at least @facebook has made clear that they care more a/b their image than anything else.

The harms caused on their platform — the misinformation, the worst sort of racist, sexist, hateful memes? Simply a PR problem.
They don’t care. They never did.https://t.co/jI9IakZzMF
Enough BS. Relabel Facebook for what it is: a media company, and make it deal with all the same responsibilities that any other media company has.

Lying, scheming FB is a scourge on our democracy. So we should change it! #DemVoice1 #ONEV1 #wtpBLUEhttps://t.co/1vMVs2e3QJ
FB's response was predictable. As @RMac18 and @sheeraf write in the @NYTimes, FB's #ProjectAmplify is a Zuckerberg-led initiative to systematically promote positive coverage of FB and its founder - including articles that originate with FB itself.https://t.co/6spMl1ydEZ

Facebook is going to do everything in their power to mislead consumers on what they’re up to. That’s why we must hold them accountable. https://t.co/85E6NHHUUj

NEW - Zuckerberg approved "Project Amplify," an initiative to use the "News Feed, the site’s most important digital real estate, to show people positive stories about the social network.”

What other opinions does the "social network" shape?https://t.co/3uQgFiGJXc
It's déjà vu for Zuckerberg who spent last summer fielding employee ?s about the Trump looting and shooting post, racial justice protests, and how FB contributed to violence in Kenosha. He's back in the same spot and doesn't want to be tied to it anymore. https://t.co/Jned0QgeIb

I guess it’s not surprising that a company with a unique ability to control the news people see would eventually start propagandizing about its own greatness https://t.co/RMXqZPHwez

If you start seeing a flow of positive news about Facebook on your Facebook feed, it's just Facebook pushing Facebook as part of Facebook's new PR offensive.

Facebook leans in on propagandizing itself as it endures a barrage of criticism sullen that its efforts aren’t lauded. But it’s always been the case that the First Rule of Facebook is you don’t criticize Facebook on Facebook (and expect any engagement). https://t.co/sBoruAd1Y6

As part of their new, more aggressive approach to cascading crisis and bad PR, Facebook is testing a new initiative to run pro-Facebook news in the News Feed. Story up with @RMac18 https://t.co/2pGixjmGQY

Last month Zuckerberg signed off on Project Amplify, which uses Facebook's News Feed to push stories—some written by Facebook—meant "to improve the company's image in the eyes of its users."
