Facebook is making you stupid: study

A new study shows that Facebook provides users with selective exposure to content, which creates echo chambers and encourages the spreading of misinformation.

Well that's the problem with the Internet today not just a Facebook problem, really more of a human nature problem

Same can be said for a large part of the internet.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Yeah, I'm getting tires of people quoting news articles from sites like whireresister, etc etc. It's all bullschit, but it as if they WANT it to be true. Never mind the attention whoring little twats with Type Amen Ignore of no heart. There are so many of these little twits these days, all of them with far over 100k followers. How the hell does that happen!

Yeah nothing new here that's why some are leaving FB
