Dezyèm lan nan twa R yo rafine : chèchè yo ta dwe chache amelyore tretman yo fè yo kòm inofansif ke posib. Pou egzanp, olye ke bloke kontni ki te swa pozitif oswa negatif, chèchè yo te ka stimulé kontni ki te pozitif oswa negatif. Sa a konsepsyon pou ranfòse ta chanje chanje kontni an emosyonèl nan Feeds News patisipan yo, men li ta adrese youn nan enkyetid yo ki kritik eksprime: ke eksperyans yo te ka lakòz patisipan yo manke enfòmasyon enpòtan nan News Feed yo. Avèk desen an itilize pa Kramer ak kòlèg, yon mesaj ki enpòtan se tankou chans yo dwe bloke kòm youn ki pa. Sepandan, ak yon konsepsyon pou ranfòse, mesaj yo ki ta ka deplase ta dwe moun ki mwens enpòtan.

The second of the three Rs is refine: researchers should seek to refine their treatments to make them as harmless as possible. For example, rather than blocking content that was either positive or negative, the researchers could have boosted content that was positive or negative. This boosting design would have changed the emotional content of participants’ News Feeds, but it would have addressed one of the concerns that critics expressed: that the experiments could have caused participants to miss important information in their News Feed. With the design used by Kramer and colleagues, a message that is important is as likely to be blocked as one that is not. However, with a boosting design, the messages that would be displaced would be those that are less important.
