Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative [and Libertarian] News
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
FaCIAbook busted: Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative [and Libertarian] News | 09 May 2016 | Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site's users. Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they were instructed to artificially “inject” selected stories garbage into the trending news module, even if they weren't popular enough to warrant inclusion–or in some cases weren’t trending at all.
