After years of inflicting all sorts of objectionable car - posts on its users , Facebook is finally heeding their cries . From now on , Facebook will be prioritizing only “ explicitly shared stories from apps in News Feed . ” Which sounds an awful lot like something you should n’t have to say in the first place .
Thisis counterto moderately much everything Zuck ’s lofty visual sense for Facebook once consist of — a humanity where everything you run through , see , and do is seamlessly and instantly share across all of Facebook - land without you ever having to lift a finger’s breadth .
