Facebook: We Won’t Try to Influence Voting for President

CNET: Facebook said it wouldn’t use its algorithms to influence voting in the US presidential election this November. “We as a company are neutral,” a Facebook spokesman said in a statement. “We have not and will not use our products in a way that attempts to influence how people vote.” The statement comes after a report about a weekly internal poll at Facebook. Employees mulled: “What responsibility does Facebook have to help prevent President Trump in 2017?”
