Facebook starts forcing people to listen to videos as they scroll down their feed – but it can be turned off
Facebook is rolling out plans to start shouting at people as they scroll through their news feed. The company is adding sound to its auto playing videos – meaning that as people scroll through the app, they'll be subjected to all the noise from all the videos that are there, whether they like it or not. Facebook says that the change is intended to make it easier to watch videos on the site. But it's also probably a part of its plan to become a major player in video – encouraging people to watch more of them and allowing advertisers to more easily reach people. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
