"What you see on Facebook is not organic presentation of information. It is the result of decisions made for you by the company’s software, which follows its leaders’ directives." What if a quote like this were required to be prominently displayed atop the FB feed? On Twitter? A version of it on Newspapers? Just like with cigarettes we have a prominently displayed warning from the Surgeon General, in the digital/information age we should have similar "Media Literacy" warnings placed on information sources. And the Federal Government should have some appointed official like the Surgeon General to oversee (logically should be in the FCC but that agency is so beholden to the industries they regulate it's problematic).
