Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Zuckerberg claims Facebook has no bias against conservatives

Apr 12, 2018 2:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Zuckerberg must be lying, unless he is unaware of what is going on in his own company. Scalise, like Cruz, did not ask Zuckerberg, but could have, about Facebook’s choking off of sites that oppose jihad terror. He could have asked him why Facebook’s Vice President Joel Kaplan traveled to Pakistan in July 2017 to assure the Pakistani government that it would remove “anti-Islam” material. That endeavor had already started before Kaplan’s trip. In mid-February 2017, traffic to Jihad Watch from Facebook dropped suddenly by 90% and has never recovered. And there are so many other sites that have experienced a similar dropoff.

This was no accident. It has happened to counter-jihad sites and others that oppose the hard-Left agenda across the board. Either Zuckerberg is perjuring himself, or has no control over his company.

“Scalise Holds Zuckerberg’s Feet To The Fire Over Alleged Facebook Algorithm Bias,” by Christian Datoc, Daily Caller,  April 11, 2018:

Rep. Steve Scalise grilled Facebook CEO and Chairman Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday over alleged bias against conservatives that manifests in Facebook’s algorithm.

“I know some of the people that work for Facebook, Campbell Brown said, for example, this is changing our relationship with publishers,” Scalise opened. “I do want to ask you about a study that was done dealing with the algorithm that Facebook uses to describe what is fed to people through the news feed.

“What they found was after this new algorithm was implemented that there was a tremendous bias against conservative news and content and a favorable bias towards liberal content, and if you can look at that, that shows a 16-point disparity, which is concerning.”

Scalise admitted he didn’t expect Zuckerberg to share the news feed algorithm in its entirety, he asked “who develops the algorithm?”

“You can determine whether or not you want to write an algorithm to sort data, to compartmentalize data, but you can also put a bias in if that’s the directive,” the Louisiana congressman continued. “Was there a directive to put a bias in, and first, are you aware of this bias that many people have looked at and analyzed and seen?”

“Congressman, this is a really important question,” Zuckerberg responded. “There is absolutely no directive in any of the changes that we make to have a bias in anything that we do. To the contrary, our goal is to be a platform for all ideas.”…

    Deep State Controlled

    Zuckerberg just a front guy.

    JEROME CORSI (WASH,DC) QAnon Decodes Trump Fight Against Deep State

      This guy, Corsi, must have misplaced his tin foil hat. The tech lords are not controlled by the CIA – or anyone.

        Twitter and Facebook don’t need to be controlled by their government comrades. They are complicit with the leftist ideology that pervades both social media sites. Socialist media sites, rather.

      • mortimer says

        Apr 12, 2018 at 7:11 pm

        I would agree with Westman. The NERDLORDS are on their own planet of revenge against anyone who knows any subject that they don’t.

        The NERDLORDS haven’t an inkling about ideas or ideology, economics or economy. They are all about microscopic mazes and codes and control.

        They MUST CONTROL. THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT ANSWER.

    The known fact that Catholic pages on Zuckerberg’s app have been taken down, republican senators for election have met the same fate, notwithstanding the ordinary men and women who differ to left leaning opinion have been censored, paints the opposite truth which Zuckerberg relates.

    • mortimer says

      Apr 12, 2018 at 7:12 pm

      Zucky is censoring pretty well all conservatives who speak out against the madness. You needn’t speak out strongly either.

  3. Westman says

    Apr 12, 2018 at 3:02 pm

    Lets face it. The new media lords are the technocrats about whom we were warned many years ago. We just assumed, incorrectly, they would be elected officials. They have more control over government than lobbyists.

    Congressman: “Geepers Mr. Zuckerburg, if I ask you some softball questions, you won’t hold it against me during my campaign, will ya’?”

    • mortimer says

      Apr 12, 2018 at 7:14 pm

      Agree with Westman. In a world of ZEROS and ONES, there can only be ONE right answer.

      The GEEKLORDS all believe they are INFALLIBLE.

    Zuckerberg lied. Facebook is biased against sites that say the truth about Jihad, and favors sites that promote Jihad.

    • mortimer says

      Apr 12, 2018 at 7:15 pm

      Yes, nmh, he LIED. He is an AMORAL liar.

    I am not a Facebook user, but a google/ youtub user..and I can get to most every site that according to facebook would be suppressed for community standards. but I have received warnings from youtube about.the site as a warning ..I can pull up JW just fine and it is factual information. Jihad watch is a important information / news site that is the gold standard of journalism unconstrained by sharia law, I think he is dodging questions about the algorithms You tube is different…I don’t know how just opening the site lately brings me to junky, creepy stuff, before a search on you tube…..after so it takes a little longer. Facebook out right took down sites they have considered hateful, when it is more conservative or has facts about Islam.

    our goal is to be a platform for all ideas…
    —
    and that means *legitimate* ideas, of course. obviously, the right-wing knuckle-dragger white nationalist ideas of nazi groups like national review, or diamond and silk, or robert spencer, or SIoA, are not legitimate, and *will* be blocked.

    ’nuff said, nazi; heil zuckerberg!

      Important reminder. Just like Hillary on the 4 th of July weekend 2016. She was smug about it, no oath, no notes taken. Just chatting. And so is Zuck. He knows there will be no consequence. The deep state hierarchy is in place to protect them and control us.

    Either Zuckerberg is perjuring himself…

    Not possible cuz he wasn’t put under oath. Too important for that, like his fellow globo-socialist Hillary

    Zuckerberg is worse than a liar. He is a smug, very smug, liar. I guess being worth a billion or so does help with the smugness (probably the mendacity as well).

    The whole Senate interview was a farce. Zuckerberg was not under oath.

    Yes, why no questions about Farcebook’s complicity in helping Pakistan’s religious police hunt down “blasphemers” of Pakistani origin, and enforce sharia, even outside of Pakistan’s borders?

    Zuckerberg is a liar – or he is the most incompetent boss ever in the annals of employers. On the one hand, he claims that twenty thousand plus employees come from Silicon Valley, which he states is the most left leaning environment it the US. Then, when senator Cruz asked him about the political orientation of his employees, he claimed that he didn’t know. Really? I have observed the shenanigans of this organization on MY efforts to comment or to post information – my response to sly dog Zuckerberg is an old adage from long ago “Long runs the fox” the obvious message being, he will eventually be caught. Democracy depends upon an informed electorate, and upon competing views. Zuckerberg believes that because he has his hand on the wheel, he can dictate to the world’s citizens what political views HE chooses and prefers. This company and he, need to be governed by legislation because both are dangerous.

    Amazing how this bastard can lie with a straight face. Years of practice. I would like to hear him under oath.

    Farcebook.

    So now we know what Zuckerberg looks like when he’s lying. Good job.
