This is valid but what can Facebook do? What steps should the company take to ensure this doesn't happen? Do they have the capability to fix the status quo? Is there an algorithm that can prevent this from happening? We don't know if this is an issue stemmed from lacking reviewers.



They could quite easily just stop filtering news and give the users the tools to filter things for themselves.


Could ordering posts by "most recent" first by default be a part of the solution?


Interesting idea. I'd love to be able to twist the dials of the algorithm for what I see... But I can't imagine FB would. That would defeat post-boosting.
