Nein. Welche davon man angezeigt bekommt, bestimmt Facebook.
Nämlich deren Algorithmus.

“When you’re scrolling through your Facebook feed, you don’t see every post by every friend; what you see has been selected by an automatic algorithm that’s not made public. But someone can pay to increase the likelihood that their friends or fans will see their posts. Corporations paying for placement is a big part of how Facebook makes its money.”
—Bruce Schneier, Surveillance-based manipulation: How Facebook or Google could tilt elections

Facebook ist keine leere Hülle. Facebook ist ein Filter. Der dich in deiner Blase lässt.

“This leads to a phenomenon that political activist Eli Pariser has called the “filter bubble”: an Internet optimized to your preferences, where you never have to encounter an opinion you don’t agree with. You might think that’s not too bad, but on a large scale it’s harmful. We don’t want to live in a society where everybody only ever reads things that reinforce their existing opinions, where we never have spontaneous encounters that enliven, confound, confront, and teach us.” [ibid.]

“Psychological manipulation—based both on personal information and control of the underlying systems—will get better and better. Even worse, it will become so good that we won’t know we’re being manipulated.” [ibid.]
