(ABCNEWS.GO) — Facebook is making several changes to its trending topics feature following an investigation stemming from anonymous allegations of political bias, the social network's general counsel announced in a newsroom post on Monday.
Facebook launched an investigation earlier this month after tech website Gizmodo cited an anonymous source who said the social network's "news curators" were instructed to artificially "inject" selected stories into Facebook's "Trending Topics" list.
Desktop users can see trending topics in the upper right side of their Facebook newsfeed. On the app, trending topics are visible after a user taps the search bar.
