The revelations in the foreign media of Facebook’s pro-BJP bias in India have (so far) been confined to the oral interventions and internal notes of its chief lobbyist Ankhi Das, but the possibility of the social media giant having “tailored” or “altered” its algorithms to help the BJP is a matter for deeper journalistic and political scrutiny.
Thanks for this revealing piece. The powers that FB and other social media platforms enjoy need regulating, before they come to haunt us all.
