Joe Rogan: Facebook exposed for sinister experiment they did on YOU and me

NEW: Brainwashing expert on Joe Rogan exposes the sinister Facebook experiment that manipulated 700,000 users—without their knowledge.

This is very dark.

Harvard professor Rebecca Lemov, an expert on mind control and emotional manipulation, joined Joe Rogan and laid out the disturbing details of a little-known experiment Facebook conducted in 2012:

“There’s a famous Facebook experiment I read about that took place in 2012 and was published in 2014, where they announce that they’ve achieved, mass emotional contagion at scale,” she said.

Lemov explained that the social media giant ran the test on 700,000 users—without telling them.

“Whenever you go on the platform, you agree to be tested or AB testing. So this experiment exposed a group to a more—their newsfeed was altered in a negative direction emotionally, as measured by word counting software.”

The results? Chilling.

“And they discovered that that group that had a negative exposure also responded in a more negative way, as judged through their posts and likes and responses.”

“The group that was exposed to a more positive newsfeed by altering the algorithm then had also a measurably statistically significant effect of more positive emotional response—and the control group was unaltered by this.”

Facebook was’t just tracking behavior, they were engineering it at scale.

And nobody was warned.

Lemov told Joe Rogan that when the public found out about Facebook’s psychological experiment two years later, the backlash was intense.

“But, so this is why there was an ethical debate when the experiment was published in 2014.”

The revelations weren’t just unsettling—they were dangerous.

Some users believed the manipulation pushed them to the brink.

“And on the Facebook page of the research group that that did the experiment, at least one user wrote in saying, could I ever find out if I was in that experiment,” Lemov recalled.

“Because I was in the emergency room at that time with, you know, threatening to to commit suicide, and I want to know if my feed was altered and maybe that pushed me over, you know, into that that state.”

It sounds like something out of Black Mirror. But it happened.

“Of course, they could never know and it can't be traced backwards. And other people had a similar response.”

Lemov said the fallout even triggered an official investigation.

“And there was even an investigation by the British government about whether this should be sanctioned because it affected users internationally.”

But despite the outcry—and the harm—there were no consequences.

“Ultimately, there doesn't seem to have been any sanctions that came out of in anyone associated with it, is mostly promoted.”
