Facebook ranking ‘too complex’ to be understood
In a Sept. 2020 note, a Facebook employee argues that increasing transparency around how content is demoted in people’s feeds won’t necessarily help users understand how “legitimate” or “justified” those demotions are. At the top of the note, they write: “People fail to understand the idea of demotions out of context, no matter how we try to frame it,” adding the concept itself is “too complex.”
