Is this phenomenon new? No, but suddenly everybody noticed[1]. Is there any actual data backing the claim that XYZ voters were tricked by a clikbait into which candidate to vote?!
Should Google, Facebook and Twitter turn into clickbait-vetting institutions? No, we should educate citizens instead to make better decisions and I don't mean voting for Hillary makes you an educated voter just because someone said so.
[1] This discussion is borderline ridiculous. Would we have this discussion if Ms Clinton had won the election? I doubt it. The DNC should do some introspection, stop asking how did we lose this election and start asking why did we lose this election, accept in democracies upsets happen and stop this insane witch hunt and get their shit together because we entire world is going to need them.
