It's a full circle moment for all of us.
On Friday, Facebook announced that it was killing its embattled "Trending" news section.

*Facebook said in a statement that it was scuttling the product because it did not drive a significant amount of traffic, nor garner much user engagement. But Facebook, via its Trending widget, has also come under fire for accusations of liberal bias and conservative news suppression -- a narrative that Facebook hasn't been able to escape since Mashable's own Michael Nuñez broke that story at Gizmodo in 2016.
