released a statement in response to the reporting from "the wall street journal" this week, and the divisiveness on the platform backfired. here's part of the statement. research shows for certain partisan division in our society has been growing for many decades, long before platforms like facebook even existed. it also shows that meaningful engagement with friends and family on our platform is better for people's well-being than the alternative. we continue to make changes like political content and feedback. at that statement as just out now and response to "the wall street journal." >> dana: facebook is getting a lot of scrutiny now, but some of these other social and get platforms for example youtube, owned by google, and if you go and click on something that you like then they keep sending them more. so it's feeding that beast, like putting an accelerant on a fire.
