Facebook has repeatedly trended fake news since firing its human editors

The Intersect ran a little experiment a few weeks ago: During the work day, we'd check in with Facebook each hour, on the hour, and record which topics were trending for us on the platform. The resulting daily pop-up newsletter gave us some interesting insight into the world according to Facebook.

    Nobody was surprised at this outcome, of course, because we all called it the moment removing human editors was announced.
