Just out of curiosity...(Facebook scandal)

Is any Facebook scandal news on the Facebook news feed?

I do not use the platform.

I just checked, figuring that I would not see anything, but did see an article in "trending" about the data scandal. I had to click "see more" to see it though so it's not a top issue.

Just a quick copy/paste:

Have not really seen much as far as on the feed though. One thing I've noticed is how a lot of the "auto generated" articles that show up in your feed tend to be fake articles, or very controversial stuff. They seem to push for lot of negativity. I wish I could filter all that crap out and only see the stuff my friends post.
