Conservative non-profit group PragerU appears to be facing Facebook censorship, as many recent posts from group are suffering from a 99.9999 percent drop in engagement based on Facebook’s own dashboard. The Social Media Masters of the Universe also pulled down two PragerU videos, which it labeled “hate speech.”
Echoing the apparent page limitation of conservative commentating duo Diamond and Silk, the conservative non-profit group PragerU — which produces educational videos on conservative issues — appears to have found its Facebook page’s reach drastically limited. The group’s Facebook page boasts three million followers, but its most recent posts have been seen by almost none of its followers, according to the Facebook dashboard.
PragerU social media influencer Will Witt posted a screenshot of the Facebook page’s dashboard which shows a number of statistics relating to posts from the page, including the reach posts have and how many users have clicked on links in the posts. According to the photos posted by Witt, PragerU’s last nine posts have reached between one and three of their followers. Previous posts have reached between 50,000 and 95,000 of PragerU’s followers.
Witt also posted a number of screenshots of PragerU videos that have been removed by Facebook for “hate speech.” The videos that were removed include one titled “Make Men Masculine Again,” and “Where are the Moderate Muslims?”
Witt said in his Facebook post: “Our last 9 posts have been completely censored reaching 0 of our 3 million followers. At least two of our video posts were deleted last night for “hate speech” including a post of our recent video with The Conservative Millennial, Make Men Masculine Again.”

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to create a free speech version of Facebook and put them out of business.
Let’s face it. Facebook is a repressive tool of the Liberal Fascist Zuckerberg. All he needs now is a brown shirt and a sign that says “I miss the 30’s”.
He’s a KAPO like Soros and needs to be designated as such.
But it's only the ones they may have a few issues with - they also think they Constitution is fine except when it needs some "noble cause" clause so they can get a pet project done despite what they want being unconstitutional....
Facebook needs to be designated a PAC, since that is the role it is essentially playing, subject to the limitations and laws that are mandated.
If a business scams you for money, then you have cause against them in a court of law. It is their business. Should they be able to use the scam business model because it’s their business and they can run it any way they want?
The principle in that is that a business model is not permitted to intentionally injure the customer.
To the extent that the business gets financial benefit from the customer, I would think this applies to any business.
It’s more than just some and it’s totally one sided. Sarah Palin’s Facebook account is shadow-banned.
Sure glad these tactics are finally being exposed.
I’m in the process of migrating from Facebook to MeWe.com, which is open to *ALL* opinions.
Nobody gets banned, or shadow-banned, for speaking their mind.
First off, why is anyone even surprised at this? Second, if conservatives want people to be refuse service by on their religious differences, sexual leanings, etc; then this type of nonsense hurts the more important issues, the freedom to associate.
If PragerU wants to deal with Facebook, then it’s Facebook’s rules barring any other contractual agreements. No sympathy here.
Is it time to rebel yet?
Used to get daily post from pu. Not lately
Well, it’s either regulate Fakebook, Twatter, etc. as public utilities OR do unspeakable things to Zuckersperg, Dorksey, etc. I will pick regulation to allow all forms of speech, including non-violent “hate” speech.

Dennis Prager is a very level-headed, scholarly guy.
He ain’t no Alex Jones.

So much for the “I’ll defend to the death your Right...”
*SMH*
To cancel facebook I have to log on. They won't even let me do that.
Did you try minds.com? They have #maga on the main page.
This is so sad. Prager U reaches young people. The 5 min vids are so well done and interesting to watch. He is showing a light on how young people are being fooled by media and the underlying leftist goals. A lot of people are waking up to truth.
Only good thing about this news is that most young people don’t touch Facebook anyway!
Prager is very smart, clear, and interested in the truth only. I don’t think we have a speaker for conservatism with more focus on clarity anywhere than he.
And Amazon workers have to pee in diapers. Big difference in perks there.
I dont like Prager. I think a lot of his info isn’t correct. But I dont think he should be censored.
While I might not AGREE with a personal opinion he might have, I can’t think of where he spouts things that are actually wrong. And if he does, he corrects himself immediately if he got the source wrong or some small mistake). Curious what you have found.
If people affirmatively add these types of feeds to their FB feeds, it might help their profits. At least I am getting my favorites again, and not so much of the unwanted junk.
