”When you’re running anything like Facebook, you get criticized all the time, and you stop paying attention to criticism if it’s not well founded [...] It also puts you out of touch with genuine criticism from people who actually understand the issues.” newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

«Zuckerberg used to rave about the virtues of “frictionless sharing,” but these days Facebook is working on “imposing friction” to slow the spread of disinformation.»

Hos SCB och flera andra källor hittar jag info om att valdeltagandet 2014 var 85,81%

Men på tabellen med nuvarande valresultat ser det ut som att valdeltagandet 2014 var 83,4% - vad visar den siffran egentligen?

Här finns tabellen: scb.se/hitta-statisti…

Jag ställer mig också frågande till varför just sidan om valdeltagande nu har försvunnit från SCB... @SCB_nyheter

"Sweden is headed for [...] complicated talks to form a new government after elections ended in a near dead-heat between parties on the left and right, with the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats making less of a breakthrough than polls had suggested."
