Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says political parties have been quoted in Facebook’s own research saying they know Facebook changed its algorithm and “now if [they] don't publish angry, hateful, polarizing… content,” there’s less engagement. https://t.co/XKKBhxZZ36

أنا لبناني أنتفض. أطالب بحقي وحق شعبي. حقي بالماء والكهرباء. حقي بالدواء والطبابة. حقي بالمدرسة والجامعة والتعليم الحديث . حقي بالتربية والتاريخ الحقيقي. حقي بطعام غير مغشوش به. . حقي بلبنان كما كتب عنه في الكتاب المقدس. حقي ببيئة صالحة وصفاء هواء. حقي أن أعيش دون ذل وخوف.
