Every conservative site that has used Facebook has suffered a drop because of the ‘change in algorithms’ while liberals sites have not or have increased traffic. That’s not a coincidence.
Via Free Beacon:
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) told Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg the pro-Donald Trump online duo of “Diamond and Silk” is not “terrorism,” while pressing him on whether the social media platform uses algorithms to censor speech.
Blackburn invoked the pair while questioning Zuckerberg during the second day of his Capitol Hill appearances in response to the recent Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
“Do you subjectively manipulate your algorithms to prioritize or censor speech?” she asked.
“Congresswoman, we don’t think about what we’re doing as censoring speech,” Zuckerberg said. “I think that there are types of content like terrorism that we all agree we do not want to have on our service, so we build systems that can identify those and can remove that content, and we’re very proud of that work.”
