Isn’t Twitter doing this as well by algorithmically sorting their feed? Why single out Facebook?

There’s a single switch on Twitter to turn this off.

You can bash Twitter for a lot of things, but this isn’t it.

As long as algorithmic is the default, it’s changing aggregate behavior in a big way

I can switch algorithmic sorting off, but if it’s the default for everyone else, and causing the most polarizing political content to spread even faster, it effects me and even people who don’t use Twitter at all
