"Facebook has long shown its preference for right-wing content, but a new
report has made it clearer than ever.
On Sunday, BuzzFeed News published a piece featuring comments from former
policy employees at Facebook. In it, they detailed how Facebook founder and CEO
Mark Zuckerberg would often personally get involved with policy decisions
involving prominent conservative pundits and publishers. The Facebook head
would overrule previously established policy in order to specifically land on
more lenient outcomes for those right wing personalities.
Many of these decisions, some of which have been reported on earlier, concern
banning prolific users, such as Alex Jones, from the Facebook platform.
However, we now have additional insight into Zuckerberg’s involvement in making
sure conservative personalities
succeeded on Facebook in order to avoid
blowback from the right."
