Facebook did an audit of anti-conservative bias -- Now let's see the results

Facebook did an audit of anti-conservative bias -- Now let's see the results

More than 100 Facebook employees complained in August that those who did not espouse left-leaning views were often attacked by their peers. Now reports are confirming that Palmer Luckey, the co-founder of Oculus who departed from Facebook in 2017, was likely fired for supporting President Trump.

The news comes at a time when two important Facebook audits are set to wrap up, including one that investigates the company’s alleged anti-conservative bias. Although CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he is committed to improving his company’s transparency, it is unclear whether or not the public will ever see the results of these audits.

Facebook has a moral responsibility to its customers to release the results.

In just a year’s time, the conversation about political bias at tech companies has changed dramatically. When the company I co-founded, Lincoln Network, launched its 2017 Viewpoint Inclusion Survey to collect data on potential anti-conservative bias in Silicon Valley, the tech industry told us it would be a waste of time. They told us not to pursue the survey because political bias does not exist at Facebook, Twitter and Google. We were the troublemakers, stirring the pot that the tech giants didn’t want us to touch.
