WASHINGTON - A review by a former Republican U.S. senator concludes that political conservatives believe Facebook Inc needs to do “significant work” to satisfy their concerns that the social media website is biased, describing policies and examples that they found problematic without laying out evidence of systemic partisanship.
It is the latest effort by Facebook to address rising anger among Republicans over alleged conservative bias as some lawmakers call for legislation that would revoke the liability shield big tech companies have for content posted by users. U.S. President Donald Trump and many Republicans in Congress accuse various social media firms of anti-conservative bias, while tech companies and Democrats have rejected the charge.
Facebook and other large tech firms have acknowledged mistakes in handling some specific content issues. Republican senators have held hearings over the last two years with Facebook, Twitter Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google accusing them of bias. Last month, two Republican senators asked the Federal Trade Commission to probe how major tech companies curate content.
