After the election Facebook changed their algorithm to highlight the NYT, CNN and NPR.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed the platform’s algorithm following the 2020 election to highlight outlets like CNN, the New York Times and NPR, according to a report from the Times on Tuesday morning. At the same time, Facebook moved to make “hyperpartisan pages,” as the Times put it, like Breitbart and Occupy Democrats less visible in users’ News Feeds, three people familiar with Zuckerberg’s decision told the NYT.
The temporary tweak aimed to reduce the spread of inaccurate election information on the site, according to the Times. Zuckerberg’s decision came after Facebook employees, seeing President Trump claim the election was rigged against him, “proposed an emergency change” to make “authoritative news” more prominent.
It’s unclear how long the changes were in place for, but they appear to have ended. Facebook vice president Guy Rosen told the Times “there has never been a plan to make these permanent.”
Facebook did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on the matter.
We control what you see, peasant.

Ever consider the possibility that maybe Facebook and Google are actually not ideologically biased, that it’s you who looking at reality from your own biased reference frame?
In any case, feel free to go use or build own own conservative leaning social media platforms and search engines. The free market will be better for the added competition.

I know that many people these days only see self reinforcing information and what that has done to our society but the charge that what was alleged here could generate 6 million votes is a major major allegation.
I can’t begin to see it but I have enough interest to hear the argument as there would be so many use cases.
