That's A Weird Lack-Of-Hill To Die On
-
A guy doing a Kickstarter to finish a photography book on space travel -- photos of the space suits and other artifacts from the program -- found his ads for the fundraiser repeatedly kicked off of Facebook? Why? Well, Facebook's algorithm deemed the ads controversial. And why that? Perhaps because they generated complaints from flat earthers. When future historians look back on how society went wrong back in the 2010s, they will note the sudden ability of idiots and anti-fact morons to manipulate others and foment distrust of the truth. The bright side is that this guy is going to meet his goal because non-idiots, seeing the "controversy," were moved to donate. The bad thing is that it's all only getting worse. (New York Times)
