Facebook publishes for the first time a report on 'What is the most widely displayed content on Facebook?'
It is pointed out that 'Facebook promotes people's prejudice and divides society', but it has not been clear until now what kind of content is actually displayed on Facebook. Meanwhile, on August 18, 2021, Facebook released a report showing what content is widely displayed on the news feed.

Facebook's mechanism that automatically displays content that matches the user's interests and interests in the feed will cause users with prejudice to display content that promotes prejudice , dividing society and 'people' a and confined to 'I think of reality '' pointed out has been.
However, due to the characteristic that the content is personalized for each user, it is difficult to analyze 'what kind of content is actually displayed' from the outside, and Facebook has been transparent about this in the past. I have never provided any information. For this reason, some people have opened a Twitter account to create 'top 10 high-performance links ranked by total interaction' using Facebook's official performance measurement tool called CrowdTangle , but Facebook is 'conservative'. It's a biased tool that exaggerates the popularity of commentators. '
In this context, Facebook released the 'Widely Viewed Content Report' on August 18, 2021 for the first time, showing what kind of content is being viewed on Facebook. According to Facebook, the content announced in the Widely Viewed Content report is not 'the most interacting content on the platform' but 'the most human-seen content.' When you look at the report, it looks like an inconsistent collection of miscellaneous information, rather than misinformation or information based on conservative prejudice.
First, the top 20 most seen domains are YouTube, Amazon, UNICEF, as well as cloud fund platform GoFundMe, Twitter, GIF search engine Tenor, and TikTok.

There are many indications that 'Facebook is full of harmful content', and there is also a survey result (PDF file) that it is a hotbed of anti-vaccine content. The report released by Facebook this time is thought to be to refute such findings. On the other hand, one former Facebook employee said, 'It's like ExxonMobil publishing its own research on climate change. I think it's to counter media and research that tell a different story than Facebook. '.
Facebook itself also includes the fact that the content of the report does not accurately reflect 'everything Facebook users actually see' and that the content of the report is shared by private groups and private profiles. I admit that there isn't. The Verge, an overseas news media, said, 'Facebook clearly separates'what people see'and'what is actually involved', and this report only touches on the former. There is an argument that it is 'involved' and that comments and scrolls are more memorable. ' Also note that Facebook displays a custom feed for each user as mentioned above, so the content of the report reflects only a small part of the news feed and omits much. I urged you.
