Conservative pundit Steven Crowder punched deep into the debate over social media and censorship this week with the announcement that he is suing Facebook for what he believes are unfair and secretive policies.

But the move comes as a new report was published saying that claims of social media bias against conservatives is disinformation, “a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it.”

The report, issued by New York University’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, dismisses accusations by former President Donald Trump and Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, among others, that social media giants deliberately suppress conservative voices. But it acknowledges that “millions of everyday people sincerely believe it.”
