A new Facebook software upgrade has sparked concerns that the social networking website is favoring some political groups — read that, those with liberal tendencies — on the site over others.

In order for Facebook groups to transition easily to the new format and maintain access to their members, they must receive an upgrade key from the site, reports The Daily Caller. Some sites have received this key, while others have not, which has raised suspicions about whether Facebook’s actions are politically motivated.

Although the conservative-leaning Facebook groups Stop Islamization of America and the Coalition to Save Marriage in New York have not received the upgrade key, the liberal Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has, the Caller reports.
