Senator asks Facebook to answer reports it suppressed conservative news
WASHINGTON, May 10 (UPI) -- The chairman of a U.S. Senate committee wants Facebook to respond to reports that employees suppressed news articles from politically conservative websites on the mammoth social media platform.
"Facebook must answer these serious allegations and hold those responsible to account if there has been political bias in the dissemination of trending news," John Thune, R-S.D., said Tuesday after sending a letter to Facebook Chairman and CEOMark Zuckerberg. "Any attempt by a neutral and inclusive social media platform to censor or manipulate political discussion is an abuse of trust and inconsistent with the values of an open Internet."
Thune, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, was responding to a report by tech news outlet Gizmodo, in which an unnamed Facebook news curator said conservative sites' stories were left off Facebook's "trending news" sidebar.
Facebook denied the report, saying it has "rigorous guidelines" to ensure political neutrality in displaying news to its 1.6 billion users worldwide.
"We take allegations of bias very seriously. Facebook is a platform for people and perspectives from across the political spectrum. Trending Topics shows you the popular topics and hashtags that are being talked about on Facebook," the company said in an emailed statement.
"These guidelines do not permit the suppression of political perspectives. Nor do they permit the prioritization of one viewpoint over another or one news outlet over another. These guidelines do not prohibit any news outlet from appearing in Trending Topics."
Thune's letter asks Zuckerberg to provide answers to his questions no later than May 24.
Thune, whose committee has legislative oversight on Internet communications, wants details on the organizational setup of the feature and how the stories are chosen. In addition, he want to know what steps were being taken to investigate the allegations.
Th person quoted in the Gizmodo article said workers prevented stories about the Conservative Political Action Conference, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul and other conservative topics from appearing in the section.
Several former Facebook news curators also told Gizmodo they were instructed to artificially "inject" selected stories into the trending news module.
Facebook Vice President Tom Stocky says popular topics first surface by an algorithm and are then audited by team members to confirm that the topics are in fact trending news in the real world.
The former curators, all contractors, also told Gizmiodo they were directed not to include news about Facebook itself in the trending module.
Several hours after Gizmodo's report, editors there said they started seeing it as a topic in Facebook's trending section.
Also, Facebook says it is a sponsor of the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
Sadiq Khan Elected London Mayor, First Muslim to Lead UK Capital
Sadiq Khan, the son of an immigrant bus driver, has become the first Muslim to be elected mayor of a major Western city after winning the contest to lead London.
The official announcement was made early Saturday morning local time, but Khan led in polls against his main Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith. Khan won 1,310,143 votes, or 56.8 percent, beating Goldsmith, who got 994,614 votes.
In a speech after the announcement, Khan said he was "humbled" by the result and promised "to always be a mayor for all Londoners."
Khan acknowledged the bitter contest, which was marred by allegations of extremism and fear-mongering.
"This election was not without controversy, and I am so proud that London has today chosen hope over fear and unity over division," Khan said. He added, "politics of fear is not welcome in our city."
Goldsmith congratulated Khan in a statement Saturday and said "I wish him well."

Khan, 45, was a favorite to replace flamboyant Conservative Boris Johnson as mayor. Opinion polls had put him far in the lead, with a 20 point advantage over Goldsmith, a Conservative and the son of a billionaire.
Johnson said Saturday: "Many congratulations to Sadiq on securing a huge mandate to do the best job in British politics. I wish him every possible success and will be calling him in the morning."
Is the New Madrid Earthquake a Sign of the End Times?
A 3.5 magnitude earthquake was reported along the New Madrid fault line on Sunday (May 1), and possibly is a precursor to a more deadly quake, writes Michael Snyder in a column for Charisma News. The quake was reported very early on Sunday morning (1:12 a.m.) near the town of La Center, Kentucky. However, it was also felt 267 miles away in Miller, Missouri. The earthquake took place on the New Madrid fault line, a seismic zone that Snyder says actually has the potential to be much more devastating than the more more well-known San Andreas fault line in California. The New Madrid fault line includes parts of Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. “In our time, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid Fault zone has the ‘potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought,’” states Snyder. “If a magnitude-7.0 or magnitude-8.0 earthquake were to strike along the New Madrid Fault today, the damage that would be done would be absolutely unimaginable because of the nature of the Earth's crust in this region. According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, earthquakes along the New Madrid Fault ‘shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California,’” he continues. Snyder suggests that this earthquake may be part of what Jesus predicted in Matthew 24 about the End Times.
