The social media company has invited former Sen. Jon Kyl, R-AZ, to lead a team from the Washington, DC law firm Covington and Burling to conduct the audit, Axios reports. The team will reportedly take feedback from conservative organizations and use it to recommend changes to Facebook's policies.

Kyl retired in 2013 after 18 years in the Senate. Heritage Action, the conservative Heritage Foundation's political advocacy arm, gave him a score of 77%, slightly above the Senate GOP average of 73%.

In addition, Facebook executives will meet with the Heritage Foundation to discuss bias and censorship issues, according to the report. Heritage vice president of communications Rob Bluey told Axios it "sounds encouraging that Facebook is taking steps to evaluate where things stand in the marketplace and hear concerns."

"I think it's wholly right that conservatives want to be treated fairly and enjoy the benefits of the service like anyone else," Heritage technology policy expert Klon Kitchen, who hosted an event last week with Facebook's Monika Bickert, told USA Today. "If Facebook is doing a reasonable job of that now, it's up to Facebook to make that case."

"If there are systemic problems, they should deal with that, not only to do well as a company, but also for the sake of consumers to provide the best product possible," he added.

Kitchen previously told Breitbart News that however Facebook might be discriminating against conservative users, Heritage would be "very clear about a private company's right to organize and conduct its business as it sees fit.
