Report claiming bias in Facebook ‘trending’ topics sparks social media outcry

Facebook (FB.O) workers have often omitted conservative political stories from the website’s “trending” list, the technology news site Gizmodo said on Monday in a report that sparked widespread comment on social media.

An unnamed former Facebook employee told Gizmodo that workers “routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers,” according to Gizmodo, while “artificially” adding other stories into the trending list.

Facebook told Reuters on Monday that there are “rigorous guidelines in place” to maintain neutrality and said that these guidelines do not prohibit any news outlet from appearing in trending topics.

Facebook did not respond directly though to questions about whether employees had suppressed conservative-leaning news.

“These guidelines do not permit the suppression of political perspectives. Nor do they permit the prioritization of one viewpoint over another or one news outlet over another,” a spokesperson for Facebook said.

The report alarmed some social media users, with several journalists and commentators criticizing Facebook for alleged bias.

“Aside from fueling right-wing persecution, this is a key reminder of dangers of Silicon Valley controlling content,” tweeted journalist Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald).

“Well, you go to Hell, Facebook,” tweeted Kyle Feldscher (@Kyle_Feldscher), a reporter at the Washington Examiner, a conservative-leaning publication.

“For anyone who cares about press freedom, this is frightening stuff,” tweeted Bloomberg Editor Bill Grueskin (@BGrueskin), with a link to Gizmodo’s story.

“Former Facebook Workers” quickly became one of the top-ten trending topics on Twitter (TWTR.N) in the U.S. after the Gizmodo story broke.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), one of the groups reportedly blocked from Facebook’s trending list, said it would closely monitor how the claims against Facebook unfold.

“If we can confirm that the allegations are true and accurate, that would be disappointing,” said CPAC Communications Director Ian Walters, who added that he was sensitive to the fact that the claims are as of yet unconfirmed.

A post on Facebook’s help center said that the “trending” section of the site “shows you topics that have recently become popular on Facebook.” It lists “engagement, timeliness, Pages you’ve liked and your location” as some of the factors that determine what trends show up for each Facebook user.

Facebook users can also manually remove certain topics from their trending list.

Twitter Tests New Advertisement Strategy for Trending Topics

Twitter Tests New Advertisement Strategy for Trending Topics

Micro-blogging site Twitter is testing a new advertising strategy to boost revenue from its trending topics, as confirmed by the company.

The Promoted Trend Spotlight ads put a big visual banner equipped with a GIF or image background atop the Explore tab, TechCrunch reported on Thursday.

The banners appear for the first two times a user visits that day, according to the report.

Twitter earlier replaced the Moments feature with Explore that serves as the home for finding out what’s happening on Twitter, including trends.

The Promoted Trend Spotlight ads are bought as an add-on to the existing Promoted Trends ads that are inserted amongst the list of Twitter’s most popular topics, the TechCrunch report said.

“We are continuing to explore new ways to enhance our takeover offerings and give brands more high-impact opportunities to drive conversation and brand awareness on our platform,” a Twitter spokesperson was quoted as saying.

When tapped, ads under Promoted Trend Spotlight would open a feed of tweets with one of the advertiser’s related tweets at the top.
