Only if they wanted a fair balance, I think Facebook is just aiming to under advertise Conservatives. There is no secret that about 95% of all donations from Silicon Valley goes to Democrats. It won't take too long until the whole world is a mirror of California.

It's not quite 95% all around, here are the top ones with the percentage of all their employees' contributions to the Democrat party: Netflix = 98% Nvidia = 93% Adobe = 93% IBM = 90% Salesforce = 89% Google = 88% Microsoft = 85% Apple = 84% Paypal = 84% Cisco = 80% Amazon = 77% Facebook = 77% Intel = 68% Broadcom = 68% Oracle = 67% Texas Instruments = 60% Qualcomm = 50% Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/02/most-liberal-tech-companies-ranked-by-employee-donations.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/02/most-liberal-tech-companies-... Still pretty bad, and makes one worry about where those employees are donating their non-political and non-tracked donations to. Edit. Added source.

  Surprising it’s the Dems in Congress that want to break up tech then. I guess money isn’t everything.

    I thought it was more being driven/pushed by conservatives? Edit. Wow, this conversation is seriously devolved when a simple question gets downvoted.

      You committed wrong-think so you must be silenced.

      And as you can see below I was silenced for speaking ill of the overlords. They get off on making an imaginary number go down...

  Those are employee contributions, in their capacity as private citizens, not contributions made by the company. Don't forget to count company PAC contributions, often made to both sides.

    I didn't say they were made by the company, I said they were made by the employees of those companies. It's important as it speaks to the huge imbalance of democrat vs conservative individuals inside those companies.

    And who at the companies are making decisions about policy? Employees.

      .. not really? Most of the time policy is set from the top. Netflix isn't exactly a worker co-op.

        Everybody contributes to a companies culture and that drives the people at the top too.
