Facebook's internal research found that the social network's algorithms fueled division and polarization, but the company didn't act on the results in part because of the "concern ... that some proposed changes would have disproportionately affected conservative users and publishers, at a time when the company faced accusations from the right of political bias."
Facebook's steps have run counter to the choices made by rivals, too: While Twitter announced it would no longer accept any political advertising, Facebook said it would continue to do so — and would not fact-check those ads. Trump's campaign has subsequently run false and misleading ads on Facebook.
Despite these efforts to stay on the right side of conservatives, the claims of bias have persisted. Facebook now faces a significant headache — one caused by Twitter's actions rather than its own, and despite Zuckerberg's attempts to distance Facebook from its rival's decision. Facebook is directly cited in the executive order signed Thursday, which takes aim at Section 230 — a foundational law of the internet that broadly offers tech companies immunity from prosecution over objectionable material that appears on their platforms . It's what stops Facebook from being taken to court over terrorist material that gets posted on the social network, for example.
The executive order calls for tech companies to lose their Section 230 protection if they do anything to discriminate against users, restrict their access to a platform without giving them a fair hearing, or take other action that isn't in line with the terms of service. Facebook is explicitly namechecked in the order twice.
SAI
You're next, muthafuckas.
Cry baby ,throws a tantrum and gets his way...not this time... Fact check. .'check yo self b4 you wreck yo self'- ice cube
Here's a crazy thought: don't censor *anyone* that is within the laws. Report the illegal posts. How is filtering their issue? Again, it boils down to pick one: - Platform - Publisher
In a way, Trump - by doing what he's doing, is obliquely stifling free speech.
They embraced it...I think those are the words you were looking for.
