Reaffirming earlier findings, the media watchdog group Media Matters for America released a study Tuesday showing that contrary to Republican claims, Facebook is not censoring right-wing users or messages.
The group studied nearly 400 accounts focused on political news between July 2018 and March 2019, including pages reporting from a right-wing viewpoint, left-leaning pages, and pages purporting to deliver “non-partisan” news.
The research clearly showed, MMFA external affairs director Rebecca Lenn wrote on Twitter, that “Facebook is still not censoring conservatives.”
Over 37 weeks, Media Matters found that right-wing pages had slightly more interactions than left-leaning pages, suggesting that Facebook could not be suppressing the accounts’ ability to post content any more than it is with left-leaning pages.
Conservative accounts had an average of 372,000 weekly interactions during the time period MMFA studied, while progressive and liberal accounts averaged 369,000 interactions per week. Both left-leaning and right-leaning pages had far more activity than so-called centrist or non-partisan accounts.
Media Matters’ latest report matched earlier findings in a July study, in which the group found engagement levels of right-leaning and left-leaning accounts to be roughly equal.
The study was released a day before a planned congressional hearing regarding “the supposed censorship of conservatives by tech companies,” Lenn noted.
