FROM A FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER

 The ex-insider shared some information about the Facebook team, called the "Hate-Speech Engineering" group. The team comprises of at least half a dozen Chinese nationals and works out of Facebook's offices in Seattle. Many of these Ph.D.s work on complex machine learning algorithms that develop newsfeeds. 

The ex-insider said the team teaches algorithms to push specific content to the top of a newsfeed while other content gets shifted "dead-last."
