| Subject: Deceitful Facebook audit of anti-conservative bias fails to pinpoint any Sun Nov 03, 2019 1:27 am | |
| ... Facebook might have hoped having a staunch conservative oversee the audit and write the report would mitigate criticism by Republicans. It did not. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said in a statement that the report wasn‘t a genuine audit. Instead, he called it “a smokescreen disguised as a solution.”
“Facebook should conduct an actual audit by giving a trusted third-party access to its algorithm, its key documents, and its content-moderation protocols,” Hawley added. “Then Facebook should release the results to the public.”
The Media Research Center, a conservative organization, criticized the report, saying it “stunningly fails to admit fault or wrongdoing,” and that any changes made by Facebook to date toward addressing the complaints levied by conservatives are “empty and insulting.”
Nor was the report met with open arms by left-leaning groups. The Center for American Progress the report was a “lurid fiction perpetuated within right-wing circles,” adding, “Facebook made a grave mistake in allowing external political actors to direct an assessment of company policy and practices.”
