Facebook should buttout entirely. Here’s a point of interest for you about Facebook that so far, I haven’t heard anybody mention.
The weekend of the Norway shooting Facebook loaded up with created page in the name of Andres Behring Breivik. I estimate that there were at least 150 by Sunday July 24, 2011. I had a page with Breivik’s name attached to it also. By Monday evening, July 25, 2011 every page was gone from Fracebook except two of them: “F–k Andres Behring Breivik” and “Andres Behring Breivik Is A Terrorist,” these two pages remain.
My entire Facebook account was deactivated without any explaination. One of this deleted page named after Breivik had 10,000 Likes in just two days, I posted some of my art work of Breivik on this page and got 1,500 Facebook Impressions (I’m not sure what they’re good for).
I would like to know what happened that weekend to all the pages, and why the two that remained were allowed to do so. Facebook won’t respond, I tweeted them for an answer on Twitter.

Facebook should allow the user to adjust their settings at any time based on the users personal preference which may change on a weekly basis, freedom of choice.

Filtering the search results of Google and Facebook users is insulting to say the least. Respect your users, and therefore the victims of your massive advertising attacks, to decide what sites we want to see and let us be free to travel where we want without draconian measures to ‘aim’ us at specific advertisers. We are a lot smarter than you think and we vote with our wallets. And regarding i interferance correcting politically incorrect (by i-its standards) spelling or references, again we vote with our wallets – no shut!

Filtered advertising is one thing (assuming you look at advertising in the first place), but filtered news is extremely dangerous–I’m totally opposed both for myself and for everyone else.

Fully support the move to an unfiltered news feed. At the moment I end up living in a reality bubble defined by facebook. I might like certain pages, just because I need to stay in the loop. But if I don’t interact with them, they drop out of my news feed. My interaction is not always an indication of interest.

I think that having a filter of information in our News Feed is positive because, as you mention in your post, it is impossible to deal with the big amount of content we are daily exposed.

I guess Facebook is already changing the algorithm as I have seen some changes in the information I receive now comparing with what I was given before, especially more Pages information. However, it’s user’s role to improve the content he receives by hiding permanently or not the contact or page information in the News Feed. By doing so, Facebook will learn which information is more interesting for us.

Well my thought on a unfiltered feed on Facebook is no, and the reason why is I am already annoyed with all the crap that shows up when I only want to see what my peeps are doing. But at the same time i don’t get to see info from pages I am more interested in then others. Example: I am actually interested in Africa’s current situations, and thought by liking various pages I would get that in my news feed. However I also added a bunch of movies and music pages which is all that has come up since I liked all that stuff. Now it would be nice instead of having a feed of everything I have liked, why don’t they make a way of when creating a page, post, or what ever, allow you to tag it for a particular category, and then sub-catagories. And as far as the news goes, break it up on one page and allow you to choose the category you wanna see then once you choose a category, display the sub catagories along with the news feed from the entire main category(unfiltered). And also have a view all(unfiltered) as well for all the news for those that like to be bombarded with news about everything. Granted that would take some work but I know the results would please the masses. And one other feature to include, if you want a particular category/subcategory to display at your home page put a button to add that specific subject on your homepage of Facebook, and get rid of the adds and replace it with your news. That way advertising can become a job market for people again. Not machines that think I care about how much godaddy has domains for, if I need something I will go buy it. That’s my thought on the new on Facebook.

In my opinion, filtering the information is essential to mark the relevancy of the content. If the content is filtered, people can rely on it and implement it therefore I do not see any problem with the ‘filter bubble’. If the information present on the prominent websites like Google and Facebook is not filtered, it will also affect the importance of these websites. In terms of expanding the ‘Like’ button, I completely favour this move…If users get to express opinions/information in that section, it will enhance the importance and I think it will also give a better informative insight on any particular post.

Ya. Its better to have a filter feature by the user, Wall is disturbed with latest updates of every. And thers no filter from whom we have to get update. My opinion is to have filter the stuff.

Thanks for the post of discussion about Filter. Hope social media sites may consider this.

I really do think it’s taken advantage of.

I DO NOT think the news feed should EVER be filtered! It goes back to a quote from Voltaire..”I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it!” This is a FREE country, and if we cannot express our viewpoints on Facebook, we will found another site where there IS free speech. I am an atheist and have received a few threatening remarks. If I FEEL the remark is a murder threat, then I report that person to Facebook. Other than that, we should be able to write whatever we wish on the feed.
