Zuckerberg’s Announcement Means Final Remaining Conservative Voices ... Will Be Eliminated ...

Since the 2016 election Facebook has been cracking down on conservative and pro-Trump content.

Top conservative websites have seen a stunning drop in their Facebook traffic. This was no accident. This was the plan.

In January 2017, Facebook began making algorithm changes to make sure conservative news was no longer so influential. The Gateway Pundit Facebook traffic has consistently decreased with each algorithm change.

A March 2018 study by The Outline organization found conservative publishers were hit the hardest by Facebook algorithm changes. The study also showed that The Gateway Pundit was hit the hardest.

In March 2018 Western Journal also published a study that found conservative publishers were hit the hardest by the recent Facebook algorithm changes. The report found that liberal publishers actually saw a 2 percent increase in traffic. Conservative publishers lost an average of 14 percent in traffic.

Facebook official Campbell Brown, a former anchor on NBC and CNN, told attendees at a recent technology and publishing conference that Facebook would be censoring news publishers based on its own internal biases. And they did.

I’m in jail for what they called ‘spam’. BULLSHIT!

FB is the only place I have to counter-act their lies,
be it in a post or comment in warp speed.

I agree. I’m out of there and waiting for a new site.

PLEASE, PLEASE, someone replace fakebook!!

If they are censoring my conservative speech, it’s hurting them more than me ;)

It is not if, they are or will. One technique is shadow banning where you think everything is ok but no one is really seeing what you post.

Did you see Diamond and Silk testify before Congress?

Most people have no clue how those adds pop up on their screen or why their eMail keeps getting coupons for items they may have an interest in. If they can tailor advertising to your interest they can also tailor news to change your opinion and they do.

I haven't missed a day on FreeRepublic since I signed up nearly 20 years ago. Sadly it is not a long read now compare to 20 years ago.

JR probably doesn’t have either the funding nor the expertise to put something like that into effect, no disrespect to JR intended, but we’re talking a very expensive project.

The Koch Bros. put plenty of money into Conservative projects.

I know very expensive. But perhaps someday someone would offer and JR would give it over.

I quit Twitter because of being shadow banned for months. They let me out of jail for a day, but then put me back.

The company I workfor just picked gmail as their new email service. It requires a gmail setup homepage. Once that is installed, the browser blocks FR, Lucianne, Redstate, Daily Caller, Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh dot com. All lib sites are a go.
