    Yet all the major news sites I checked provided Open Graph content.

    In case you don’t know, Open Graph was created by Facebook to give publishers control over what information is displayed on Facebook when a news resource is introduced into their system.

    If you don’t want Facebook to display that content, why explicitly provide and denote it for their use? Open Graph content isn’t naturally occurring. People at these news companies had to explicitly put in effort to support that Facebook integration. They clearly want the content shown on Facebook.

    Is this simply a case of the top brass spending too much time in Ottawa and not enough time talking to the technical people?
