WASHINGTON: A year-long review by a former Republican U.S. senator concludes that Facebook Inc has"significant work to be done to satisfy" concerns on the political right that the social media website is biased against conservatives.
Facebook spokesman Nick Clegg said in a blog post the company needs"to take these concerns seriously and adjust course if our policies are in fact limiting expression in an unintended way." "We will inevitably make some bad calls, some of which may appear to strike harder at conservatives," Clegg said.Senator Jon Kyl walks from a Republican Senate caucus meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, Sep 26, 2018.
Democrats say the bias allegations are without merit. Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono said in April that"we cannot allow the Republican party to harass tech companies into weakening content moderation policies that already fail to remove hateful, dangerous and misleading content."
