Facebook Vice President Nick Clegg sidestepped questions on Sunday about whether its algorithms worked to the benefit of insurrectionists leading up to the January 6 Capitol riot.
When Clegg, who appeared Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” was asked about whether the site’s algorithms amplified pro-insurrection sentiments leading up to January 6, he said he couldn’t answer the question because the site has “Thousands” of algorithms that determine a Facebook user’s experience.
“Given we have thousands of algorithms and you have millions of people using this, I can’t give you a yes or no answer to the individual personalized feeds each person uses,” Clegg told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday.
