WASHINGTON: Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg meets May 18 with leading US conservatives to try to head off a storm over allegations that the social network suppressed right-leaning political viewpoints. 

Zuckerberg proposed the meeting after technology news outlet Gizmodo last week reported allegations that Facebook was deliberately omitting articles with conservative viewpoints from a sidebar that lists popular stories.
