Looks Like Facebook's Meeting With Conservatives Went Well
"We hope other social platforms follow their lead," says Alex Skatell.
The word after yesterday’s meeting between Facebook and a group of Conservative media figures and politicians is that it was a great move for clearing the air.
And there was a lot of air that needed to be cleared after a piece in Gizmodo last week in which a former Facebook employee told the publication that Facebook “curators” were being directed to keep right-leaning stories out of the trending news section. The piece, and resulting controversy, led Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invite the group to a meeting at Facebook HQ with Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.
