Facebook Discontinues Recommendations Of Politics-themed Groups

Mindful of the massive turmoil which enmeshed the US Presidential elections, Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on January 27 notified that the site would cease to recommend politics-themed groups to users. Reportedly, the decision to demote civic and political contents arose from users' feedback and will observe a global implementation. The social media giant is also attempting to subdue political contents in users' main news feeds to avoid provocative and divisive discourses.
