May 8, 2016 at 9:50 comment added Dhammadhatu Your ideas are illogical. If individuals were free-agents, as you claim, why would media companies spend so much money on advertising & propaganda & why would they be so successful in making money & influencing public opinion? The majority of people are not free-agents.

Such manipulation would be considered by users as an adulteration, and will be treated accordingly. There are even things going on quite similar to this today, specifically backlash against their (Facebook, Google) collaboration with the NSA (newsday.com/business/technology/…) (1) will take a little more time to address, as it is a large, fundamental question.

Mar 25, 2014 at 11:43 comment added Christian (3) You don't provide any sources for your claims about the amount of power of media ownership. If facebook decides to show links to a certain website the dislike 30% less on newsfeeds, nobody will know that they prevent that website from getting traffic. There are lot of subtle ways to exert power that don't produce public backslash.
Mar 25, 2014 at 11:42 comment added Christian (1) The existence of free will is no general accepted phenomena. There are plenty of philosophers like Daniel Dannett who doubt it's existence. Making an argument on those grounds has no place on this site without citing specific studies.
