Does Facebook have a pro-Hillary Clinton bias?

Who Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame will be supporting for POTUS this year will be no surprise. Early on in the campaign, he liked anti-Trump/pro-Clinton memes on his Facebook page, and Zuckerberg was billed to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in 2015 alongside the chair of the Federal Reserve and Obama – but they all opted-out as a result of the Clinton email scandal. Zuckerberg also gave an anti-Trump speech at a Facebook conference in March 2016.

Censorship and manipulation But it's not just Zuckerberg who supports the Clintons over at Facebook. Data from the Federal Election Commission shows that Facebook staff gave $114,000 to Hillary Clinton, and former employees at Facebook say that Facebook routinely censored conservative voices on the platform via the "trending" feature on its website.

However, it is not just the right that is being censored by Facebook – left-wing political YouTuber made a video (ironically on PBS' censorship of Jill Stein), only to find that his video was blocked on Facebook, as it did not abide by their "Community Standards", and in April, a number of pro-Sanders pages disappeared with no reason given by Facebook.

WikiLeaks WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange has reason to be resentful of Hillary Clinton, as she has called for his indictment during her tenure as US Secretary of State.

WikiLeaks docs critical of Clinton have been also blocked on Facebook: When WikiLeaks broke the Clinton email scandal in March 2016 and created their email repository, linking to the archive produced an error message for Facebook. This was blamed on an error with the anti-spam filter; however, when the hacked DNC emails were released, the link to WikiLeaks was blocked again – and again, the excuse of the anti-spam filter running amok was used.
