Raw LLM Responses

It will be very different. For one, there won't be remotely as much of a problem with fake news. The company was caught unaware that there were, for example, people in Macedonia posting stories saying that the Pope endorsed Donald Trump just because it got ad clicks. That won't happen again. The company, in general, also has far less influence over the news ecosystem because they have stepped away and there is very little news on Facebook now. So the fact that their algorithms tend to favor posts that make us outraged will have less influence on the news industry, just because Facebook has less influence over the news industry. On the other hand, one of the most important ways that Facebook influenced 2016 was just by providing an extremely effective (and totally legal!) method for Donald Trump to advertise. One of the reasons he won was because he saw the power of the FB ad platform and Hillary Clinton didn't. This year, every candidate is going to be running endless microtargeted political ads, so that might end up being the biggest way FB has influence.
