“Our own tools are helping journos to consolidate the wrong narrative,” Nick Clegg, Facebook’s VP of global affairs, said in an internal company email, The New York Times reported. Like Facebook’s advertising transparency tools, CrowdTangle has been repeatedly used to demonstrate major criticisms of the tech and social-media giant – criticisms that Facebook executives would rather not have to defend in public.
