a former Facebook employees say:” So the social network manipulates the news “
According to an American website, the company would ask the makers to censor news sources Republican party. But from Menlo Park comes the denial
Freddi, insensitive and, in theory at least, impartial. Are the algorithms which, like that of Facebook, determining which and how much content to appear on our timeline. But sometimes appearances are deceptive: according to statements by some former employees of Menlo Park, the news appeared between the trends in the 2014-2015 period may have been manipulated to exclude sources and information relating to the republican movement.
Gizmodo reports that the company would be asked to enter in the list certain types of news, although of little interest, however censoring topics related to political conservatives. “Every now and then a Republican mold website published some interesting history – said one of the former journalists employed at Facebook in the news industry -. But we had orders to exclude them until they were covered by some other more impartial tested. ”
In other cases, the opposite happened: the employees had to enter among the trends news not considered important by the algorithm, such as the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight, or the attack on Charlie Hebdo, as well as hold up the competition on the news in real time with Twitter. Or push a particular story not because people were really discussing it, but rather to give the impression: “At one point, users did not care that much of Syria – says one of the former editors -. And do not be among the trends that topic would make a fool of Facebook. ”
As far as Gizmodo says, then it seems that the trend section was managed as a real drawing, complete with a political line and a precise editorial line. Nothing to do with the idea of an impartial algorithm that every day, 24 hours 24, select the news read daily by 170 million users in the US alone. Republicans included.
The official’s response came today by Tom Stocky, Facebook’s vice president of research sector, which has indicated that it has found no concrete evidence of what denounced by anonymous sources Gizmodo: “Our guidelines are very strict and do not allow the deletion of information or specific viewpoints. News in trend are selected by an algorithm, and then be validated by a team of journalists who have the task of verifying whether it actually popular topics and not fake. ” Stocky then emphasized how each step of this process leaves a visible trace, and that those who violate the rules risk being fired.
