Thiel, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2016 and reportedly donated more than $1 million to Trump's presidential campaign, is known for his conservative views. He reportedly considered leaving Facebook's board of directors because of political tensions surrounding the 2016 elections. He's also criticized Silicon Valley for being too left-leaning.

Republican lawmakers and the president have accused the tech industry of political bias. Several companies, including Facebook, Twitter and Google, have said they don't censor political views. A Pew study revealed in June that a majority of Americans think social media platforms censor political views they don't agree with.
