      This was fascinating for me, not only interesting to hear about the women they chose to feature but to read between the lines.

      This says to me FB knows how bad their PR is right now, they're clearly trying to appeal to young women...there is a lot under the hood here that fascinates me. Did FB hear it's own death rattle and try to patch it up with some sponcon?

      Better still is the public response that got the article pulled. A good sign for the public holding FB accountable in how it impacts elections.

      If you're curious a/b this mess like me, here's the wayback of the article that got pulled: https://web.archive.org/web/20200108170304/https://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-facebook-is-helping-ensure-the-integrity-of-the-2020-election

      1. Update (1/13/2020):

        oh! On the 9th Facebook appeared at a Congressional hearing about synthetic and manipulated media, how fitting that the day was consumed by confusion over whether the company had placed a flattering article in Teen Vogue to manipulate the media.
