Facebook is sending some of its top executives to meet with Republican leaders following complaints about anti-conservative bias on social media, the company confirmed to The Hill on Friday.
The officials from Facebook’s public policy team will be meeting with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and Brad Parscale, President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager.
A McCarthy spokeswoman said that the meeting would focus on “continued issues with conservative censorship on their website.”
The meeting was first reported by Axios.
Facebook will be represented by a group of former GOP officials: Kevin Martin, who served as FCC chairman during the George W. Bush administration; Joel Kaplan, Bush’s former deputy chief of staff; Greg Maurer, who was an aide to former Speaker John Boehner; and former Republican digital strategist Katie Harbath.
Facebook and other social media companies have faced criticism from conservatives over accusations that the industry is biased against conservative speech. The meeting comes after Parscale and McDaniel sent a letter to Facebook and Twitter in May. And McCarthy has become an increasingly vocal critic of tech companies, even though he’s received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Silicon Valley.
Parscale, the digital director on Trump’s 2016 campaign, has also been a critic of tech companies, though he’s credited Facebook with helping Trump win the White House.
Facebook has responded to the criticism by launching a review of conservative bias on the platform led by former GOP Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.).

It's time to find out WHO is setting the rules, WHO is enforcing the rules, WHO is tasked with implementing the rules.
Also, it's time to review algorithms. No more claiming 'proprietary' rights is there is clear evidence of ideology bias and discrimination against conservatives.
Don’t fall for the olive branch routine.
Time to regulate the cr*p out of them.
It’s time to stop using them at all.
I nuked my FB account months ago. Don’t miss it at all.

“Time to regulate the cr*p out of them.”
Way, way, way past time for that to happen!
The GOP-e has problems spelling high tech let alone understanding it.
More corruption swept under the table while the Rats laugh all the way to the bank.
How about some Trump supporters in the room
Meet with GOP? Screw that, just make them register and follow the rules of a PAC,, because in reality they are a wing of the DNC.
I am not and have never been on Facebook.
I have serious issues with them regarding a relative
who was being taken advantage of by criminals overseas.
I rubbed the evidence under their noses.
They could not have cared less.
Evil, rotten people.
Let me guess, McConnell, Ryan, head of the RNC, a few more GOPe types...
Yeah, that’ll help.

Fakebook is for women to gossip and spy
Nothing more
Ignore it
Upon reading the headline my first thought was:
“Why would Facebook care about the anti-conservative bias of the GOP leaders?”
I think that Facebook has every right to censor any non-leftist view or post.
But they should be forced to be honest with the public. They need to post on the logon page that non-leftist thought and companies will not be tolerated, and they should force the user to check a box, signifying that they understand that any news, opinions, or advertisements they see will be from a leftist perspective. That the user understands that even though they may “subscribe” to OTL (Other Than Leftist) “channels,” that there is no guarantee that the content will ever be seen.

Translation: “Facebook met with some Deep State Republicans who told them that their efforts to restrain pro-Trump outlets hasn’t gone far enough. Otherwise, everything they’re doing is just great.”
They are biased. They take after their phony ceo.
That would give the game away. If FB were to admit adhering to a leftist philosophy they would have a more difficult time persuading, swaying the masses.
Meeting is not enough. There need to be immediate massive changes or massive government regulation including an antitrust suit.
I tried to get this post off my wall that's what popped up let that POS zuckerfish try to deny it
