   Facebook election interference has been going on for a long time in Europe. It's a two-tier system where parties outside the establishment have a far lower ban-threshold.

            Say what you want.

            Pretty much every time somebody backs up these kinds of claims it shows something else.

            1) posts going out 500 times a day in all caps (who is arguing you can’t suppress spam?)

            2) the post that you read and so clearly wasn’t suppressed.

            3) they’re linking to a low scoring comment

               Socials should do no scoring whatsoever. Once you score you are editorialising which means you should have a director that is liable for everything published.

               If you don't want that, no editorialising, let people see just the people they follow or what their friends share and that is it.

               Can't have it both ways.

                  They absolutely should do scoring. Imagine i posted this comment as a response to every single other comment here.

                  Nobody is going to want to use a platform with spam.

                     No, they should not do scoring. The end result is strictly better. Like you said, no one is going to want to use a platform with so much spam.
