I thought fb is already supporting this feature?

I mean it is editing your chatbox so you can see the people you met randomly on the street in higher ranks than you would normally would.

For example today I met a classmate with whom I wasn´t chatting for 3 years straight and still he is suddenly third from the top.

Great - now I look like total sperg

That's probably because he decided to look at your timeline.

I highly doubt that. I keep my profile almost empty because I mind my privacy.

Even the fact that your chat-box is adjusting to others people behavior I find highly disturbing. Is there any study which would give me more precise notion of that algorithm?

Facebook can't possibly be tracking people in real life. It's just a product that takes advantage of degrees of separation, and any at-home experiment you can do involving it leads to the same "uncanny" connections.

I've moved states and Facebook still recommends me people in the wrong location as friends I may know in real life. If I still lived there it's entirely possible that I WOULD have bumped into them at some point, since Facebook recommended the request because we know all the same people, but because I moved I never met them and the request is pointless and inaccurate.

>Facebook controls the newsfeed of a select group of users (600,000+). Showing a certain group mostly negative status updates from friends, and another group with mostly positive status updates.

>over time the subjects' own status updates grew to be mostly negative or positive, depending on what they were exposed to.

Needless to say, Facebook is far more influential, and has far more control than people are willing to give them credit for. Or maybe people just don't want to think about it.

That's also a reason why Zuck continues to work on the Facebook code. He stays in control and can do anything without anyone knowing.

>>61261428
I imagine that that much control/influence over billions of people must create some massive God complex.

My dystopian prediction is that a Facebook like profile will soon be required, so that governments can police your internet activity.

Yeah, it's also important to note that social media is a major contributor to the growing divide we are currently seeing among people. Tailoring your newsfeed around your interests only reinforces hive minds, and allowed the "fake news" meme to flourish.
