Facebook says no evidence conservative stories suppressed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

I always thought this was bullshit. I've seen plenty of conservative stories trending on Facebook.

A Facebook official says the company has found no evidence to back up allegations that Facebook contractors suppressed stories of interest to conservatives in its “Trending” section.

Facebook vice president of search Tom Stocky writes in a post, “There are rigorous guidelines in place for the review team to ensure consistency and neutrality,” adding that the guidelines don’t permit political perspectives to be suppressed or one viewpoint or outlet to be prioritized over another.

Stocky also says an allegation that the site artificially forced the Black Lives Matter movement to trend is “untrue.”

Facebook is responding to a Monday report from Gawker’s Gizmodo blog on claims from unnamed former Facebook contractors who worked as news curators for the company.

1. Trump is not happy with

Facebook's owner and that is the real story.

2. They already confiremd they were fighting the good fight

Now they want to insult themselves and say they supported CONsevatives? WTF. Why attack their own employees like this? Why do they hate their employees? They're accusing them of pandering to hate.

3. People better informing themselves because of primary voting, the Con's conning descends.

One does not fall as easily for a half-truth when already having read the whole truth. So, their usual stuff dies quietly.

7. They're just mad because facebook allows you to block all their propoganda

It's true that you personally have the power to suppress their message on facebook and they hate it.

8. Indeed

I've blocked quite a bit.

9. Meanwhile, the M$M keeps rampaging over truth in journalism...blames the ethereal liberal media...

Millions of people misinformed daily, tune out and stay apathetic.
