Facebook to tweak Trending Topics although probe finds no political bias
San Francisco
FACEBOOK Inc will no longer rely on a top-10 list of websites to help choose items for its Trending Topics section, even though an internal probe showed no evidence of political bias in the selection process, the company said on Monday.
The world's largest social media network said in a blogpost that changes include clearer guidelines for human editors on the Trending Topics team, more training to emphasise avoiding ideological or political basis, and more robust review procedures.
