As of the writing of this post, “Anthony Weiner,” “Weiner,” and “James Comey” are all trending nationally as a result of the bombshell news today that the FBI is still investigating Hillary Clinton over the use of her privater server…

…but now check out what’s trending on Facebook, both on its “Top Trends” and “Politics” tabs. Or shall we say, not trending:

Time for some answers, Facebook:

Seriously. I'd like to hear an answer on this. Somehow the largest social network in the world is unaware of the biggest story in America

The most talked about story in America, FBI investigation into Clinton's emails, isn't trending on Facebook. Not even on the Politics tab.

An anonymous reader writes:

Mark Zuckerberg didn't shy from condemning several of Trump's views at his company's developer conference earlier this week. Things are getting tenser now. Gizmodo's Michael Nunez is reporting about a political discussion inside Facebook wherein employees appear to be asking Zuckerberg whether the company should try to "help prevent President Trump in 2017." Every week, Facebook employees vote in an internal poll on what they want to ask Zuckerberg in an upcoming Q&A session. A question from the March 4 poll was: "What responsibility does Facebook have to help prevent President Trump in 2017?"

An excerpt from the report which talks about Facebook's position :

But what's exceedingly important about this question being raised -- and Zuckerberg's answer, if there is one -- is how Facebook now treats the powerful place it holds in the world. It's unprecedented. More than 1.04 billion people use Facebook. It's where we get our news, share our political views, and interact with politicians. It's also where those politicians are spending a greater share of their budgets. And Facebook has no legal responsibility to give an unfiltered view of what's happening on their network.

Facebook employees tried to censor Donald Trump posts
 Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 10:30am

We have seen it at Twitter, where conservative accounts seem to be targeted, and also at Facebook, where there were allegations of the same.

This morning Comey is the hightest trending subject on my FB page.

It's Donald Trump against the world, and Donald's winning. He's winning because the movement to stop him is losing and regular Americans are showing clear support for American sovereignty, America first trade deals, aggressive response to terrorists' threats and a return to law and order.

Citizenship is going to mean something again in the Trump administration, Mark Zuckerberg notwithstanding.

Zuckerberg is nothing more than a globalist neocon operative - just like Hillary.

Why wouldn't he cover for her?

Are you implying that Zuckerberg or his minions are controlling individual facebook posts and suppressing pro-Trump/anti-Hillary ones?

I'm on Facebook and I do not find that to be true.  I see more pro-Trump posts than pro-Hillary posts.

Lol... I don't think you can produce a shred of evidence that he's a neocon.  I dont see any indication that he believes in a hawkish foteign policy.

If you mean that you don't like his Jewish ancestry, say it, but don't just throw in irrelevant words.

Holloween was last night, you know.

Not many people were reading the news/posting of Facebook.

It was time for trick-for-treats and parties.

I thought Halloween was Monday night.

D'oh.

The point is that most are going to celebrate it/are celebrating it over the weekend (Friday/Saturday).

Which equals less time with Facebook.

Didn't Zuckerberg just issue a very public memo to his staff to the effect that they will not censor half of the country because they might not agree with their politics?

From back in May, but an interesting insight:

I worked on Facebook's Trending team – the most toxic work experience of my life

==========================

But the documents show that the company relies heavily on the intervention of a small editorial team to determine what makes its “trending module” headlines – the list of news topics that shows up on the side of the browser window on Facebook’s desktop version. The company backed away from a pure-algorithm approach in 2014 after criticism that it had not included enough coverage of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, in users’ feeds.

The guidelines show human intervention – and therefore editorial decisions – at almost every stage of Facebook’s trending news operation, a team that at one time was as few as 12 people:

    A team of news editors working in shifts around the clock was instructed on how to “inject” stories into the trending topics module, and how to “blacklist” topics for removal for up to a day over reasons including “doesn’t represent a real-world event”, left to the discretion of the editors.
    The company wrote that “the editorial team CAN [sic] inject a newsworthy topic” as well if users create something that attracts a lot of attention, for example #BlackLivesMatter.
