Facebook manipulate your mind, they know how to influence your life. If the police declassify their research and prove that their algorithms can drive people to depression, suicide. They can affect the relationship between people — to reconcile people and quarrel. Facebook’s algorithms can influence decision-making, which can cause a person to lose business or income.
With access to such a large dataset, Facebook has a unique opportunity to manipulate its users and their realities. This enables both a deeper understanding of its users (more data to feed the machine), and the power that comes with influence.
Remember that Facebook feeds are not chronological. Facebook decides what posts you see, and who sees your posts.
Research Into The Human Psyche
I’d like you to seriously consider the idea that Facebook has a greater ability to understand the human psyche than every psychologist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, and behavioral economist in human history combined. If this shocks you, allow me to explain.
Academic and practical work on the human psyche tends to have sample sizes measured in the hundreds. I’ve read my fair share of studies, and I don’t think I’ve seen an n larger than a thousand. Ten thousand at a stretch. On top of that, you have the usual sample selection problems. Study subjects tend to be desperate – for class credit (university students) or money (the rest of them). Most people aren’t study subjects and never will be.
Most people are Facebook users, though. At least the wealthy ones, on a global scale. And an n of 2 billion and growing is literally orders of magnitude larger than any psychological study, ever.
Facebook knows this, which is why it has Facebook Research. This division is the most powerful psychologial experimentation center in human history. It has 2 billion stu
