From ThePostMillennial.com….
During the contentious election season, Facebook implemented changes to its algorithm to give more weight to mainstream media outlets than to smaller, lesser-known publications. That strategy may become permanent, if Facebook employees have their way.
Facebook employees were particularly worried about stories in support of US President Donald Trump and stories that came from right-wing media outlets which claimed that the election was rigged.
Facebook may permanently implement these changes in order to calm people down, and purportedly reduce divisiveness and hate on their platform by promoting mainstream media over more highly engaged pages with overtly partisan content.
