Reading all about Facebook, one can't help but wonder if it's no longer the communication platform it started as? Some argue the website is something akin to hybrid news model now.
Facebook is a private entity at the end of the day. Yes, an extraordinary large one at that. What stays and what doesn't isn't anymore dictated by the actions of a singular user anymore. Politics has so deeply rooted itself at the center of the platform that I fear it stands to fundamentally change the way Facebook handles content.
Should social media behemoths like facebook and twitter be content cops, is that business friendly strategy in 2020? In an ideal world, would even that be necessary?
Or does this community think they should follow models which prohibit any accountability for content posted by people of importance? But then again, where do you draw the line about who's content are you to moderate?
If they are to moderate people of importance and treat their publishing as 'news', does Facebook consider themself a broadcasting platform for celebrities? Does it not hold all users on the same set of guidelines anymore?
Is facebook going the right way? Is there really a right way?
