Are social media companies biased against conservatives? There’s no solid evidence, a report concludes

Republicans’ frequent argument that social media companies like Facebook and Twitter have an anti-conservative bias is “a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it,” New York University researchers say in a newThen-President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on January 12,Claiming anti-conservative bias on social media “is itself a form of disinformation,” the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights researchers concluded, based on an analysis...

While it’s “beyond dispute” that most tech company employees are liberal, the researchers noted that most content moderation decisions are made by contractors based outside the U.S., and executives who make high-level decisions “are determined to placate, rather than antagonize, the political right.

Yea... because all the evidences are soft.

Nah. Social media isn't biased against conservatives. It's when extremists start posting things that incite riots, harrassment, violence, etc that these sites rightfully flag and deactivate. You can post your conservative views as long as they don't violate basic policies.

No solid evidence? 😂

Is that a joke? A report from an org started by an ACLU member and a member of the Obama admin can make an assessment of bias? That has to be a joke.

Says the liberals

LOL

Another far-left fake report

Which report is that? The one done by CNN? MSNBC? NYT? Washington Post?

Sooo funny. Is this Babylon Bee?

Are you blind or just wilfully lying thru your teeth? Say it enough I guess and people will believe ya. 1984twitter Orwell

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 ok

Well, you have a bias. And ANYONE can pick statistics that work for their position.

The evidence is getting clearer! IAmAAgainst Capitol mob attack

No most are just against authoritarian moronic assholes, just so happens they are commonly conservatives. Not all assholes are conservatives, but all conservatives are assholes.

We all know that they are... How can there be evidence when the ones conducting the gathering of evidence are themselves liberal/leftist radicals!!! The bias is real, it's there...those who think otherwise can think so, doesn't change the fact that the bias is there!

GOP and Trump outspend libs drastically on social media platforms...follow the money

BTW, jack 's TwitterIndia silencing liberal voices in India by refusing verified badges and limiting accounts to keep truce with radical right Modi Administration. And Zuckerberg's Facebook content head resigned for the same!! So, these companies are just hypocrites.

What news have you been following? Of course I guess it all really depends on how you justify your own beliefs

Lol

take the word 'solid' out. There's no evidence. Period.

This must an article from TheOnion...🤡🤡 Ill summarize it for you: “Forbes said that Trump and Fox News had more interactions in social media than Bernie Sanders. Thats why its IMPOSSIBLE for social media to be biased against Conservatives” are you guys for real🤣

He is inciting massacres of French peoples and still active on twitter. He is prime minister of Malaysia. Twitter is full of biases. But mostly newspapers around the world follow left wing ideology so leave it....

DJ_LEGION_ONE Trump was definitely lying on Twitter but verified celebs lie on Twitter daily and don't get fact checked so it was a bias they allow certain people to spew bullshit but not all.

The people who don’t believe in observable reality think companies are biased against them?!? For what reason?!

DJ_LEGION_ONE Honestly yes. But not without reason lol

Says a liberal democratic news magazine

I suspect reality and truth are biased against conservatives. Just ask Mr. Trump and his 30,000+ verified lies.

Ok.
