Facebook Manipulated 689,003 Users' Emotions For Science/ Social media is not your friend

GET OFF OF SPYBOOK before your manipulated any further! Mark Zuckerberg is the most powerful man on earth. And power corrupts.
FaceBook is a tool to brainwash hundreds of millions of useful idiots into Cultural Marxism.

Facebook is the best human research lab ever. There’s no need to get experiment participants to sign pesky consent forms as they’ve already agreed to the site’s data use policy. A team of Facebook data scientists are constantly coming up with new ways to study human behavior through the social network. When the team releases papers about what it's learned from us, we often learn surprising things about Facebook instead -- such as the fact that it can keep track of the status updates we never actually post. Facebook has played around with manipulating people before -- getting 60,000 to rock the vote in 2010 that theoretically wouldn't have otherwise -- but a recent study shows Facebook playing a whole new level of mind gamery with its guinea pigs users. As first noted by The New Scientist and Animal New York, Facebook's data scientists manipulated the News Feeds of 689,003 users, removing either all of the positive posts or all of the negative posts to see how it affected their moods. If there was a week in January 2012 where you were only seeing photos of dead dogs or incredibly cute babies, you may have been part of the study. Now that the experiment is public, people's mood about the study itself would best be described as "disturbed."

Social media is not your friend

So the social media have immense, global political power from manipulating what people see on these sites. And they definitely use this power. They have more power than the biggest press baron or the most successful politician. Yet nobody knows what their agenda is. What are they trying to achieve politically and socially? We know they are moulding attitudes, but how are they moulding them? What are they doing inside our heads?

Most insidiously of all the users of these social media sites don’t know that they are being manipulated, that some anonymous person in California is deciding what they can and will know and think. This is social conditioning on an epic scale. It is immense, undemocratic power that is not answerable to anyone. The exact opposite if what social media is supposed to be.
