Ok. At 2am EST, this showed up on top of my #facebook feed. This
   is the first time I've seen this. Facebook conducts social
   experiments and has control over feeds. Now, yes, I am
   registered. Independent. No primaries for me so all of the news
   about the gaggle of candidates amounts to gossip for me
   generally. I wait until it's decided to two via the primary
   process and even then, not until I close the curtain behind me.
   I may have some idea but I don't want to influence anybody else
   nor do I want anyone to try to influence me. Considering the FB
   customizes my feed, I do not want to give them a data point that
   gives them a clear indication of my stance. Let their AI figure
   it out. But I do my voting at the polls, not for Facebook's
   large public experiments. I wouldn't care if it wasn't for their
   Internet org and "free basics" efforts in India. I'm not happy
   with those practices and I'm glad India took a stand and said
   they'd rather work on a full Internet for their people rather
   than a restricted subset. So, there's my politics. I don't think
   it's bad if someone answers their questions but for me
   personally? I don't want to make it any easier to be part of
   their social experiments. I like FB and use the service but I
   believe in a transparent Internet. Perhaps I'm a holdover from
   1990-93 dreams of open culture on the Internet but I still
   believe in it. ======
   Also, the choice of button colors. Facebook generally has a
   Democratic leaning. Blue is code for Democrat, Red is code for
   Republican. The surrounding of the blue with the red circle is
   not accidental. Ring of republicans surrounding Clinton and
   Sanders.I suppose as an Independent, I am the white ring. Even
   beyond the 6 second analysis, this is a subtle social pressure.
   Conveys a sense of urgency. Sharing is emphasized - it's on the
   right-hand side. Mind you, I'm not disagreeable to these ideas
   generally but subtle social engineering can be very annoying. ==
   I'm not creeped out by it - I just know that FB doesn't waste
   good opportunities for research for future papers. So far,
   online hasn't made much impact in elections. But this time, it
   is. They're not going to waste an opportunity to put at least a
   FEW extra dollars in overtime for a graphic designer to meet
   with a social psychologist to maximize implicit association. ==
   The point is: It's supposed to be very subtle. It's a little pat
   of encouragement. If you're already democrat or have leanings
   that way, you probably won't even spot it. Even a republican
   will likely miss it. But, I'm neither party. It jumps out. The
   choice of light blue/dark blue. Once the candidates for each
   party are set, you won't see that button again - I'd almost bet
   $, except I don't like betting tongue emoticon ==
