Why There Is No Reason to Believe Facebook’s Promise Not to Influence Voters Against Trump

Breitbart:

Gizmodo has revealed what everyone knew already: that Facebook’s employees are biased against presidential contender Donald Trump.

 

In response, the social network has hurriedly insisted that it’s a “neutral” platform and won’t use its considerable power to influence the election. But who really believes them?

 

The Gizmodo leaks showed employees voting in an internal poll to decide what questions they should ask CEO Mark Zuckerberg at his weekly Q&A. One of the more popular options was a loaded question concerning Republican frontrunner Donald Trump: “What responsibility does Facebook have to prevent President Trump in 2017?”

 

It’s exactly the sort of question that ultra-progressive tech hipsters in Silicon Valley would ask their CEO. Facebook has since insisted that they will not seek to influence the election. But I’m more than a little sceptical.
