The auto-filtering criteria apparently caused far more right-leaning stories to be filtered than left-leaning stories, and it was scrapped for that reason.
So basically, it was bad code that they didn't know how to fix, and probably shouldn't have been in production regardless of the political aspect.
I'm sure that China would love to see their factories idle while production of low-cost goods for the US market place shifts to indonesia, bangladesh, etc.
I like that Google is doing this, but I predict that there will be some hand-wringing from people who don't realize how this works.
Often times certain parts of a state report earlier than others, different sorts of people vote early in the day and late in the day, and this can cause states' results to fluctuate a lot during the night. It could look like Candidate A is winning all day long, only for B to overtake at the end.
I feel the same way about being able to trust the media as any thinking person does these days, but there is something helpful in the expert analysts that are hired by media outlets to make projections during the night. They know how individual precincts trend and what the early returns might portend.
I'm guessing there will be some hand-wringing online about some state where soandso was winning big until The Pentavorate hacked the servers and swung the results huge at the 11th hour.
In a better article I read the other day, it was explained that this account is supposed to tweet things automatically in response to requests for records, but it had not been working for about a year due to some sort of system malfunction. This issue was cleared up with a recent software upgrade, so the tweets began appearing again.
Continually making dainty phones that are nearly all glass - and which have only slick, slippery, rounded edges - helps ensure that lots of people end up replacing them.
But they aren't looking for you, the Steam player, who would never use this. They're looking for the same rubes who spent real money on hay for their chocolate cows in Farmville. They want you paying facebook for it instead.
I'm waiting for what feels like will soon be Facebook becoming passe. Does anyone care about the Facebook live garbage? Does anyone find ANY useful content there at all?
Sure, there's a place for your cousin's kids' Halloween pics, but the content you mildly care about is drowned in a sea of garbage, political nonsense, rants and raves, and a news feed that is almost exclusively "XXX shared XXX" anymore. (Facebook is suffering from many maladies, not the least of which is being ruined by "Shared" the way the RT ruined Twitter)
It's ironic - like parents dressing like teenagers and adopting (what they think is) current slang, the more Facebook tries to be relevant the less relevant it becomes.

Don't see any problem with singling a certain company or product out for tax persecution, eh?
Wait until it's the company you work for, or your political enemies are in office

LUDDITE google hasn't given me emojis in Chrome yet, so I can't make a witty reply.
This fool's fake news should serve notice to all that the power of Google Search Trolling is absolute!

If they hadn't been rigging the news feeds and injecting their own bias, they wouldn't have gotten into this mess.
Do we have a trade deficit with China? If so, then it does not seem obvious that we'd come out the losers.

Come on, don't insult garden-variety charlatans by lumping them in with food babe.
You don't see the value in outsourcing all your thinking to corporations like Google, Apple, etc.?
A better question - what is this "Facebook of Spreading Fake Stories" that BO is criticizing?

There are lots of good deals out there right now, Samsung is having a fire sale.

Is it really a big burden to order something from Amazon and wait a day or two?

I'm sure that, as with any new FB feature, we can all expect a tidal wave of unwanted notifications and invitations soonly.
