President Trump Considers Forming Panel to Review Complaints of Online Bias

Coverage Type: 

Apparently, President Donald Trump is considering establishing a panel to review complaints of anticonservative bias on social media, in a move that would likely draw pushback from technology companies and others. The plans are still under discussion but could include the establishment of a White House-created commission that would examine allegations of online bias and censorship. The administration could also encourage similar reviews by federal regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Election Commission, apparently. “Left-wing bias in the tech world is a concern that definitely needs to be addressed from our vantage point, and at least exposed [so] that Americans have clear eyes about what we’re dealing with,” a White House official said. “The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google,” President Trump tweeted May 16, adding that his administration is “working to remedy this illegal situation.”
