>The initiative, however, immediately drew the ire of the Trump campaign, which accused Facebook—without evidence—of secretly using the effort to help Biden.
Evidence does exist, so this statement is baffling. As recently as June content moderators on Facebook were covertly recorded bragging about being politically biased. [1]
The same moderators explicitly claimed the company was "anti-Trump",
and said "I think [all of the moderators] do that [delete posts for political reasons]".
Reading into the source (Campaign for Accountability), it's clear why they neglected to mention the evidence -- because they are politically biased themselves. [2]

- tobr 6y agoYou have not presented any evidence that the voter registration initiative is secretly an effort to help the Biden campaign.
- tehwebguy 6y ago> The same moderators explicitly claimed the company was "anti-Trump" Well, they’re not. They have even carved out special exceptions to their content policy explicitly to prevent any punishment of Trump’s accounts even when he violates the policy.
- captainredbeard 6y agoTo be fair, “anti-Trump” can mean (and probably means) bias against Trump supporters, not his accounts.
