Shirin Ghaffary和Alex Heath讨论了Facebook面临的困境:年轻人认为Facebook不再酷炫,用户群体老龄化。他们分析了Facebook新闻推送算法的演变,从最初关注朋友和家人内容,到后来为了增加用户停留时间而引入大量新闻和公共内容,导致信息过载和用户体验下降。最终,Facebook尝试通过'有意义的社交互动'(MSI)策略来改善用户体验,但效果不佳,反而加剧了极端和两极分化的内容传播。 Adam Masseri承认Facebook新闻推送变得混乱,挤压了朋友和家人内容。Tom Allison解释了Facebook曾将用户停留时间作为算法优化的目标,导致点击诱饵和低质量内容泛滥。Mike Shreppfer指出,Facebook的核心业务问题在于仅仅娱乐用户,而非促进用户之间的联系。Mark Zuckerberg承认算法会放大违规内容的传播,并宣布降低违规内容的排名。Frances Haugen泄露的内部文件显示,Facebook了解其平台造成的危害,'有意义的社交互动'(MSI)策略反而加剧了极端和两极分化的内容传播。Jeff Allen指出Facebook面临低质量内容泛滥的问题,并提到科索沃和马其顿的网络水军利用Facebook的算法优化策略传播政治性煽动性文章。Eli Pariser认为Facebook的策略转变是防御性举动,旨在维持其核心业务。Mehtab Khan对Facebook算法对人们社会和政治观点的影响表示担忧。Nick Clegg反驳了Facebook故意传播有害内容的指控,并强调Facebook的内容推荐受到用户选择的影响。

Kind of like another major app you may have heard of – TikTok.
