.thereidout Blog: Facebook knows you’re addicted, and they plan to keep it that way
“Facebook knows that content that elicits an extreme reaction from you is more likely to get a click, a comment or a reshare,” Haugen testified, adding that the company is well aware that it's"leading young users to anorexia content."
And that’s a major part of the problem. Facebook is manipulating its users into accepting a reality of its choosing — one that maximizes the company’s profit at the expense of users’ sanity. “They know that other people will produce more content if they get the likes, comments and reshares,” Haugen said. “They prioritize [your friends’] content in your feed so that you will give little hits of dopamine to your friends, so they will create more content.”
Tuesday’s hearing focused heavily on Facebook’s system of “engagement-based ranking.” Essentially, that is Facebook’s process of determining which content users see according to things they like, share, comment on and interact with on the site., but Haugen’s testimony Tuesday gave yet another stage to a warning we all should have heeded long ago: Facebook is bad for us.
