Facebook under Scan, Alleged Of Posting Politically Biased Trending Topics

Washington: Facebook, the social networking website, is on for conducting a full proof proves following the allegations that it is posting topics politically biased in the trending topics’ list. Company chairman and chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg has asserted following the allegations that they are not deliberately a ‘suppressing conservative media’ and that the company will conduct an investigation.


Reports are that there no evidence found against Facebook or Zuckrberg, while a post from the Chaiman and CEO have explained the confusion: “If we find anything against our principles, you have my commitment that we will take additional steps to address it.” All these came under a scan as few of the former FB employees have claimed forced to delete articles and write-ups that had politically conservative quintessence from the sidebar of the social networking site.


However, FB management team had termed that ‘workers were told to put stories deemed as important by management in the trending news feed even if they weren’t generating much buzz.’ Rather the omissions of such reports were ‘described the omissions as a function of his colleagues’ judgments.’
