Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has promised to confront Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about bias on the social network.

Mr Zuckerberg will appear before the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday, 22 May, to face questions about privacy and data misuse on Facebook.

As a Member of the European Parliament, Mr Farage will be in a position to ask Mr Zuckerberg about perceived bias on the platform that was previously raised by Republican lawmakers in the US.

“Later today I will confront Mark Zuckerberg about bias on Facebook,” Mr Farage said in a post to Twitter, alongside a photo of himself holding a piece of paper claiming to chart the “Facebook Algorithm Impact.”
