Facebook former workers denounce censorship in the news

Yesterday, a former journalist who worked in Facebook's news curation department, along with several colleagues who also worked with him, decided to go public with their experience while working at ,facebook censorship

Έτσι ανακοίνωσαν στον Michael Nunez, δημοσιογράφο του Gizmodo, ότι κάποιοι από το προσωπικό του Facebook που ήταν υπεύθυνοι για το πως εμφανίζονται οι ιστορίες στην ενότητα του Faceboοk "Τάσεις" ή "Trending" αγνοούσαν συστηματικά τα πραγματικά trending , inserting other stories into the Trends widget.

Former Facebook employees reported that most employees ignored stories that would be of interest to the site's right-wing or conservative readership. Some of this news included articles by Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, Crowder, and many other conservative columnists.

In addition, these same news editors had instructions from Facebok to ignore any news about Facebook itself, it was Trending.

Of course, all these direct categories, for active censorship by Facebook, do not apply to the company. The company said it has guidelines governing how articles are distributed.

But seeing that criticism from all technological media and users does not stop Facebook's vice president of stories, Tom Stocky has issued a new announcement that made it clear that the company is not dealing with such practices.
