Facebook Releases Findings of Audit on Conservative Bias Claims
(Menlo Park, CA) — Facebook is releasing the results of its audit into claims that the social media platform is biased against right-wing voices. The audit was conducted by lobbyist and former Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl and his team, who surveyed more than 100 conservative lawmakers and groups about their views on Facebook. Results show that many are concerned about the social network’s efforts to crack down on hate speech and many worry its policies are being applied unevenly. The social media company said it would relax a ban on advertisements featuring images of medical patients with tubes attached to them — a policy that conservatives argued was used to target messages against abortion.
