Facebook-controlled depression, what a dream

I keep spamming this link, but it's important to be repeated: Facebook already intentionally manipulated emotions of a "small number of users" (700k), proved it was possible, and released a paper on it almost half a decade ago.

Link to paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788. (It does say 'massive-scale' though)

It's an article about the future, so we don't need to bring up Facebook.

Depressed people are likely to shop to alleviate their depression symptoms temporarily, too.
