还有，上面写着三个东西是一个趋势，新闻经验法则。如果这是真的，那么世界上最大的社交网络是一个非常艰难的趋势中。在过去一周左右，该公司已经吸收在三个不同方面的批评，从尴尬失态潜在帮助挥洒的是选举以多种方式的结果。
Facebook的=大选影响者？
让我们在顶部开始：与选举。Donald Trump’s victory surprised a lot of people, and one reason—say the Monday morning quarterbacks—is that Facebook and other social networks are how many people now get their news, which is creating bubbles where subscribers see primarily content that supports their own positions and politics.
That’s sort of the point of a social network, of course, to show you content you’ll like, but it can lead to unrealistic expectations of how the country will vote and potentially suppress turnout as voters get an inaccurate picture of the closeness of the contest.

不过等等,更糟糕的是Facebook。事实证明that a great deal of that content comes from sketchy fringe sites that share unverified and often outright false stories. Some of those stories can quickly spread far and wide, and even when they are later debunked, the corrections seldom get the same level of attention.纽约时报引用了假故事自称方济各赞同特朗普被共享近一百万倍，而修正是“几乎没有听说过。”另一个假故事，本文所指出的，“权利要求[ED]，一个联邦调查局连接到克林顿夫人的电子邮件披露代理人谋杀了他的妻子和开枪自杀“。
Facebook创始人兼CEO马克·扎克伯格把他的网站捍卫公司and minimize the problem, claiming “more than 99 percent of what people see is authentic,” whatever that means. He also warned:
“Identifying the ‘truth’ is complicated. While some hoaxes can be completely debunked, a greater amount of content, including from mainstream sources, often gets the basic idea right but some details wrong or omitted. An even greater volume of stories express an opinion that many will disagree with and flag as incorrect even when factual.”
这可能是真的，至于它去，但是当我看到我的Facebook的饲料，我看到很多故事的来源我从来没有听说过其他地方，看似旨在激起我的党派激情，那些看起来只有一个过客在事实的兴趣。我敢打赌，你的饲料长相非常相似，无论是什么政治光谱的一部分，你落在。尽管扎克的抗议，很难看到如何做的人多好。
更新：今天早上Gizmodo的报道称Facebook计划以解决与该会已确定假冒或恶作剧的新闻报道一个新闻饲料更新五月将问题反馈。根据Gizmodo的来源，这种变化将有“被降级或删除从人们的提要，内容不成比例的影响右翼新闻网站”，并随后被搁置至少部分是由于担心扰乱保守派。
Online redlining
The election was only part of Facebook’s woes. Related to the “bubble” issue was ProPublica’s revelation that Facebook广告商可以瞄准并排除读者“民族的亲和力。”Troublingly，包含的东西，如住房，信贷和就业，其中有正确的广告报警民权活动家和许多其他。
上周，该公司改变了它的广告规则，以停止练习对于这三个领域，并表示将共同努力，告知其不歧视的责任广告客户。但同样，这是很难想象的Facebook想允许歧视这样一个明显的机会，直到有人叫了它。
Not dead yet
虽然远不一样严重，Facebook的第三贻误上周来到时，该公司无意中标志着一个未知数量的用户的配置文件作为死者。
该公司被迫发出道歉，并从死里带着大家回去：
"For a brief period today, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts. This was a terrible error that we have now fixed. We are very sorry that this happened and we worked as quickly as possible to fix it.”
对于Facebook来说，这是一个尴尬的帽子，以一个非常，非常糟糕的一周。
