Active vs passive voice in media is a way of avoiding responsibility. It shifts the subject from those who transgressed to the instrument of transgression, or to the person wronged. What it should read is "Natalie, Facebook may have exposed you to harmful extremist content". Instead the passive voice subverts Facebook's role in deciding which content is served. It's like the content just magically shows up. A lot like how bullets or rockets also magically show up on their own in other stories. |
