FB did emotional manipulation experiment that they did publish and such. It even wasn't anything new (the results). They didn't redirect traffic to their own porn site or something like that. Which would be quite noticeable. And people don't like that kind of redirects anyways. Neither I don't think that China redirects visitors to their own porn sites.

And in marketing we do manipulation all the time. Usually some positive goal in mind. We are doing manipulation in here right now, I am trying to affect your mind, dude. And you are trying to affect the rest of us. And the stuff what I do? Well.. for example running A/B test to see the effects of different content; that is essentially manipulation and studying the effects. Just what FB did.
