Facebook is promising its days of anti-conservative bias are over — but the proof will be in the pudding.
The company is taking new steps to reduce the role of human judgment in its “Trending Topics” feature, which drew controversy earlier this year over claims the service was suppressing conservative views.
Although it denied bias, Facebook has sought to reassure users that it’s not showing favoritism when it highlights stories that are drawing comment on the social network.
Facebook says topics are selected by an algorithm that considers how often users post or share articles. Editors will still vet the list, but the feature will no longer include headlines or summaries written by editors. Instead it will show a selection of user comments and an excerpt from a news article.

Guess he finally figured out facebook was loosing users by the bucket full. I still have an account but almost never use it. Every dam quote improvement they have made makes it harder to use for many . I got fed up
I quit using facebook about 6 years ago when it was revealed who this guy was. I’m still waiting for the conservative version.
I THINK THAT COMMUNIST PLATFORM DOES NOT LOOK FOR THE TRUTH, JUST THE LIBERAL SPIN ON THE TRUTH. AND HAS BECOME A GIANT SMOKE BLOWIN SOCIAL MESS. THATS JUST AN OPINION, AND WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO ONE OF THOSE, PART OF FREE SPEECH.
you know now I know i use the face book forma and could not read my answer to some bad remarks made by Liberal they cut me of for a week paid aol some money to try to find the probllem
As I said before FB is owned & opt. By homo, Lisbains. Trannies. Democrats & Liberals. I am going through my third lock out for speaking my mind. So much for freedom of speech moderators consist of the above.I won’t last long before they block me permanently. So be it. Now if the horn does not block me we will see.
They will just tell all employees to keep on discriminating just don’t tell or you’ll be fired.
Don’t like it, never used it, never will.
I am tired of facebook last night many of my comments about hillary and what is going on were closed. I will be looking for a new site to share things with my friends.
Too little too late.
It’s messy…I’ll never use it
Only morons use Facebook any more…….Like HRC…..
