facebook destroyed journalism


"this exclusionary conduct substantially harmed Google’s publisher customers"

From the money perspective it was Google. But I agree on Facebook's contribution, as they've pretty much created an advertising cartel together


Media companies destroyed journalism by making news into entertainment instead of information. For example by finding the one extremest in a group of people and running stories about his minority - but exciting - viewpoint, instead of the boring viewpoint of most of the group.
