Facebook CEO to meet with conservatives over bias allegations

May 12, 2016 - 10:40 PM EDT
BY David McCabe

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised Thursday night that he would meet with “leading conservatives” about allegations the platform suppressed right-leaning content in a section devoted to trending stories.

“In the coming weeks, I'll also be inviting leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum to talk with me about this and share their points of view,” he said in a post. “I want to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for and how we can be sure our platform stays as open as possible.”

He also said that “to serve our diverse community, we are committed to building a platform for all ideas.”

Well, we know it won't be actual conservatives. So there's that.
