⚡️🎙️ NEW - Harvard professor Rebecca Lemov, an expert on mind control and emotional manipulation, joined Joe Rogan and laid out the disturbing details of a little-known experiment Facebook conducted in 2012:
“There’s a famous Facebook experiment I read about that took place in 2012 and was published in 2014, where they announce that they’ve achieved, mass emotional contagion at scale,” she said.
Lemov explained that the social media giant ran the test on 700,000 users—without telling them.
“Whenever you go on the platform, you agree to be tested or AB testing. So this experiment exposed a group to a more—their newsfeed was altered in a negative direction emotionally, as measured by word counting software.”
The results? Chilling.
“And they discovered that that group that had a negative exposure also responded in a more negative way, as judged through their posts and likes and responses.”
“The group that was exposed to a more positive newsfeed by altering the algorithm then had also a measurably statistically significant effect of more positive emotional response—and the control group was unaltered by this.”
Facebook was’t just tracking behavior, they were engineering it at scale.
And nobody was warned.
