Mark Zuckerberg Says 'No Evidence' Facebook Censors Conservative News, Launches Investigation
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
said his company is investigating a report accusing it of political
bias, but has so far found "no evidence" the allegation is true.
The company was accused of suppressing conservative news sites and
injecting a liberal bias into its "Trending Topics" list -- which
appears in the top right corner of each user's Facebook homepage --
according to anonymous sources in a story reported by Tech website
Gizmodo on Monday. ABC News could not independently verify that report.
"This week, there was a report suggesting that Facebook contractors
working on Trending Topics suppressed stories with conservative
viewpoints," Zuckerberg said in a statement on his Facebook account
Thursday evening. "We take this report very seriously and are conducting
a full investigation to ensure our teams upheld the integrity of this
product."
"We have found no evidence that this report is true. If we find anything
against our principles, you have my commitment that we will take
additional steps to address it," he added.
In addition to the investigation, Zuckerberg said he would invite
"leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum" to
share their views with him.
Facebook Responds to Allegations Company Suppressed Conservative News
Facebook said it has 1.09 billion daily active users as of March 2016,
about 94 percent of which are outside the U.S. and Canada.
Like....share....and win!
That's what more and more Facebook posts are asking you to do.
It seems everyone wants us to "like" a page or post on Facebook these days (OK, I admit I am guilty too).
"It pops up every day. Your friend likes this, or your friend sent you this," one woman said.
Now, thousands of people are liking a Facebook post for a chance to win a $2,000 diamond ring, just in time for Christmas.
Kathy Currington and Phyllis Willke found the post on their feed the other day.
"Yes, I saw that," Currington said. "I didn't respond."
But many others are.
Why Everyone is Sharing it
The post claims that by liking and sharing with your friends Satisfashion's Facebook page, you can win a beautiful diamond ring, on December 25, or this upcoming Valentine’s Day.
Different versions of the post have different dates, though there do not seem to be postings listing past winners.
Thousands of people are liking and sharing the post, some saying "what's the harm, LOL."
But you may not be laughing out loud when you find out where your information is going.
What Can Happen When You Click
The Better Business Bureau says this is known as "Like" farming.
The BBB says while it not a true scam, marketers set up temporary Facebook pages, and get you to like and share them to win something.
When they hit 10,000 or more likes, they then sell the page to other marketers or scammers, who then hit you with ads, offers, even malware.
Other farming pages have promoted free iPhones and free airline tickets.
The "Satisfashion" post takes you to a Facebook jewelry website supposedly in England, but with no known address, or contact information, just a new diamond giveaway every month.
So while it sure is appealing, remember that a simple Facebook like -- just like a diamond -- can be forever.
Some of Your Facebook Friends Might Be Undercover Federal Agents
The Feds are on Facebook.
U.S. law enforcement agents are following the rest of the Internet world into popular social-networking services, going undercover with false online profiles to communicate with suspects and gather private information, according to an internal Justice Department document that offers a tantalizing glimpse of issues related to privacy and crime-fighting.
Think you know who’s behind that “friend” request? Think again. Your new “friend” just might be the FBI.
The document, obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, makes clear that U.S. agents are already logging on surreptitiously to exchange messages with suspects, identify a target’s friends or relatives and browse private information such as postings, personal photographs and video clips.
Regulated Goods
We prohibit any attempts by unauthorized dealers to purchase, sell, or trade prescription drugs and marijuana. If you post an offer to purchase or sell firearms, alcohol, tobacco, or adult products, we expect you to comply with all applicable laws and carefully consider the audience for that content. We do not allow you to use Facebook's payment tools to sell or purchase regulated goods on our platform.
Violence and Graphic Content
Facebook has long been a place where people share their experiences and raise awareness about important issues. Sometimes, those experiences and issues involve violence and graphic images of public interest or concern, such as human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. In many instances, when people share this type of content, they are condemning it or raising awareness about it. We remove graphic images when they are shared for sadistic pleasure or to celebrate or glorify violence.
When people share anything on Facebook, we expect that they will share it responsibly, including carefully choosing who will see that content. We also ask that people warn their audience about what they are about to see if it includes graphic violence.
Keeping your account and personal information secure
Accounts of Friends or Family Who Have Passed Away: How you can create a place to remember lost loved ones on Facebook.
Facebook is a place where people come to share their stories and reminisce about friends and family who have passed away. Once we receive proof of death, we secure and memorialize accounts. We do this once we receive sufficient proof of death. Learn more about what happens when we memorialize an account.
Immediate family members can also request that we remove and delete a loved one's profile.
Protecting your intellectual property
Facebook is a place for you to share the things that are important to you. You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. However, before sharing content on Facebook, please be sure you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights. Learn more about intellectual property rights.
Reporting Abuse
Our global community is growing every day and we strive to welcome people to an environment free from abusive content. To do this, we rely on people like you. If you see something on Facebook that you believe violates our terms, please report it to us. We have dedicated teams working around the world to review things you report to help make sure Facebook remains safe.
Governments also sometimes ask us to remove content that violates local laws, but does not violate our Community Standards. If after careful legal review, we find that the content is illegal under local law, then we may make it unavailable only in the relevant country or territory.
Please keep the following in mind:
- We may take action any time something violates the Community Standards outlined here.
- We may ask Page owners to associate their name and Facebook Profile with a Page that contains cruel and insensitive content, even if that content does not violate our policies.
- Reporting something doesn't guarantee that it will be removed because it may not violate our policies.
- Our content reviewers will look to you for information about why a post may violate our policies. If you report content, please tell us why the content should be removed (e.g., is it nudity or hate speech?) so that we can send it to the right person for review.
- Our review decisions may occasionally change after receiving additional context about specific posts or after seeing new, violating content appearing on a Page or Facebook Profile.
- The number of reports does not impact whether something will be removed. We never remove content simply because it has been reported a number of times.
- The consequences for violating our Community Standards vary depending on the severity of the violation and the person's history on Facebook. For instance, we may warn someone for a first violation, but if we continue to see further violations we may restrict a person's ability to post on Facebook or ban the person from Facebook.
Not all disagreeable or disturbing content violates our Community Standards. For this reason, we offer you the ability to customize and control what you see by unfollowing, blocking, and hiding the posts, people, Pages, and applications you don’t want to see – and we encourage you to use these controls to better personalize your experience. Learn more. People also often resolve issues they have about a piece of content by simply reaching out to the person who posted it. We’ve created tools for you to communicate directly with other people when you’re unhappy with posts, photos, or other content you see on Facebook.

Nudity On Facebook
People sometimes share content containing nudity for reasons like awareness campaigns or artistic projects. We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content - particularly because of their cultural background or age. In order to treat people fairly and respond to reports quickly, it is essential that we have policies in place that our global teams can apply uniformly and easily when reviewing content. As a result, our policies can sometimes be more blunt than we would like and restrict content shared for legitimate purposes. We are always working to get better at evaluating this content and enforcing our standards.
Facebook does not remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks. We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple, but we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring. Facebook also allows photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures. Restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous, or satirical purposes. Explicit images of sexual intercourse are allow. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be not removed.
