## What Jamie wrote

I chose to point to the Gruber writeup on this article instead of directly to The NY Times piece. Gruber nails it. 

> Facebook shouldn’t need to inject emergency doses of truth and reality into their newsfeed. It should be the norm, full stop.

So Facebook changed how the newsfeed works for the election, to dampen down disinformation. Now they have reverted those changes. Why would they do this? Money. Big bags of money from monetizing people. 💰🧟‍♀️
