Everything is not OK, but with Facebook's new Keyword Snooze feature you don't have to know that. 。
Going online is a real drag these days, what with all the news of children in cages and just the general national disaster that is the Trump administration. But what if I told you that your friendly international advertising and surveillance conglomerate Facebook has a way for you to permanently stick your head in the sand?

But that's not what Keyword Snooze is here for. 。 Tech companies like Facebook always promised to make the world a better place. Having so clearly failed at that lofty goal, Keyword Snooze goes ahead and accomplishes the next best thing — making it easier to pretend those companies succeeded. 。Because if a child screams in a cage but everyone's muted your Facebook post about it did the kid ever make a sound?
