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.”

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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