Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and CTO Mike Shroepfer talked with Recode's Kara Swisher at the 2016 Code Conference about the two controversies recently faced by the social media giant: Board member Peter Thiel's vendetta against Gawker Media and allegations that Facebook's trending topics were chosen with a liberal bias. Here's the full video of the interview.

Sandberg said Thiel was acting independently and will remain on the board, while Schroepfer reiterated that Facebook found no "systematic bias" but is still trying to communicate openly. Plus: Where does Facebook's platform go from here and should publishers be afraid of that answer?
