So this experiment exposed a group to a more—their newsfeed was altered in a negative direction emotionally, as measured by word counting software.” And the results were disturbing. “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.” In short, Facebook wasn’t just observing emotion—they were engineering it.
