Facebook has been shutting down traffic to conservative websites since the 2016 election.
Conservatives dominated social media in 2016 where they were able to get the truth uncensored. Facebook ended that in 2017 and 2018.
The Gateway Pundit spoke with two of the top conservative publishers in America.
Floyd Brown is a conservative author, speaker and media commentator. In 2008 Floyd launched Western Journal which quickly became one of the top conservative websites in America. By 2016 Floyd’s organization of Western Journal and other conservative websites under his umbrella had more than a billion page views. Since 2016 Floyd’s organization lost 75% of its Facebook traffic.
Likewise, we spoke with Jared Vallorani from Klicked Media. Jared traveled to Washington DC with The Gateway Pundit and website owners at 100%FedUp in June to discuss Facebook targeting against conservative publishers with Republican lawmakers. Jared told The Gateway Pundit his organization Klicked Media, which hosts over 60 conservative websites, lost 400 million page views from Facebook in the last six months if you compare the traffic to a year ago. Jared said, “We lost 70% to 80% of our traffic if you compare January to May 2017 vs Jan to May 2018.” If you combine the total number of page-views lost by just these two conservative online publishers you are looking at a loss of over 1.5 billion page-views from Facebook in one year.
These are numbers from just two of the top conservative publishers in America. This does not include the thousands of other conservative publishers across the country who lost all of their traffic coming from Facebook. Here at The Gateway Pundit our Facebook traffic has been effectively eliminated after we were ranked as the 4th most influential conservative publisher in the 2016 election.

Facebook Eliminated Over One Billion Page-Views to Conservative Websites in 2018 – Now, Thanks to James O’Keefe, We Have Proof This Was The Plan
PING!
I’ve eliminated Fascistbook.
Im now off FB too. Best decision ever.
Damn! It is a wonder that PUBBIES hold anything above dog catcher in this entire country.
I have to stay and keep posting reality for any rational people that are out there, especially the kids who aren’t fully programmed yet.
I have also noticed I can’t view Twitter posts w/o logging in. Used to be able to do that.
You could type without. You are only saving 4 characters.
So what can we do? I want answers.
Who cares about facbook?
It’s just for women to gossip with each other anyway
Free republic is where it’s at!
We rule demon cats drool
Holy crap - Thanks for this crucial post!
Thank god for FreeRepublic, O’Keefe and Judicial Watch.
Other than not knowing who is doing their laundry and some funny animal videos I haven't missed it.
Free Republic is preaching to the choir. Conservatives and Trump supporters need to reach the masses. That's why we need to be on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, etc. That's where the people are.
We have no idea what's coming. The social media giants are going to pull out all the stops for 2020. To the best of their abilities, conservatives and Trump supporters are going to be shut out of social media.
History will show that organizing Big Tech into a quasi-governmental institution with unwavering allegiance to the Democratic Party was Barack Obama’s crowning achievement as President. They got schooled a bit in 2016. They're not going to let this happen again.
So, how do we fix it and fight back?
I agree. RNC and Trump’s supporters need to get the lawsuits going NOW.
