Facebook authorities will stop permanently 'recommending' posts by citizen and political groups in the United States. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook Inc., made the announcement on Wednesday. He said civic and political groups made posts for the people who use Facebook and that the post was a matter of boost or recommendation to reach the users. From now on they will not do that anymore. Earlier in October, Facebook said it would temporarily suspend posts or recommendations made by political groups to US users ahead of the US presidential election. But Zuckerberg said on Wednesday that they were making the decision permanent. They will spread such a policy in the global arena as well. This was reported by the news agency Reuters.
Democratic Senate leader Edward Markey wrote a letter to Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday. Despite Facebook's announcement, Facebook has failed to stop 'recommending' posts by political groups. The news has been published on the news based site 'The Markup'. He asked Zuckerberg for an explanation. He says Facebook groups have become a fertile ground for spreading hatred. It also said that the January 7 riots on Capitol Hill in the United States were planned through this.
