This is exactly right, this describes and identifies the bias of Facebook at it's core and identifies real examples.

Nailed it.

Blame it on the computers. But computer’s only run programs.

Massaging an algorithm is not hard. There are many ways to surreptitiously tweak it to get a desired result.

If the requirements are biased, then the algorithm is biased, and the people behind it are committing fraud if they ever claim not to be biasing the outcome.

Zucker and many of his fellow fascist Sillycon Valley CEO hate Trump because Trump will stop their import of non Americans to do slave labor.

Articles are coming out about how these evil bastards are importing their slaves. Even Tesla has been named as a possible importer of basically slaves

Duh. People write programs. Programs carry out what the human told them to do. Programs have no mind of their own. They are a pale reflection of the mind of the programmer.

Here is a crazy idea. Instead of whining about how unfair Facebook is, conservative entrepreneurs should create their own version of it.

Clearly there is a market need.

Again, I'm sure some of you remember my post about that private dinner hosted by President Obama on February 17, 2011 in San Francisco where the CEO's of Apple, Cisco Systems, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Oracle, Twitter and Yahoo! were present.

The investigators MUST find out what was the conversation at that dinner. And with good reason: what if President Obama and his closest adviser Valerie Jarrett (who was also at that dinner) effectively created a gentleman's agreement with the companies I mentioned to tweak the data algorithms for search and discovery to favor the Left in terms of search results and topics? If true, then those companies are complicit in essentially US Government-approved censorship of the Political Right through some of the most visited sites on the Internet, including the two most prominent social media platforms.
