Facebook Employee Run Away When James O’Keefe Confronts Them About Censoring Conservatives
TheGatewayPundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Posted on 02/28/2019 7:44:41 AM PST by RandFan

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released proof on Wednesday of Facebook targeting and censoring conservative Publishers.

We knew this was happening, but James O’Keefe obtained documents showing conservative Facebook pages were secretly “deboosted” unbeknownst to the page owner.

Facebook engineers wrote algorithms to influence elections, silence ‘conservative trolls’ based on keywords and ‘demote bad content.’

This could be big.

It will be downplayed and most will try to ignore it.

That’s where all those folks we voted into office need to get off their butts.

Suckerberg lied to congress.

Why hasn’t Zuckerfraud been arrested for interfering with the 2016 election? So far, he and the Hillary campaign are the worst offenders.

Big Tech needs to be regulated like utilities. That means no editorial control. They must provide the service to everybody equally. No bans, shadow band, demonetizing, deplatforming, demoting or suppressing content for so-called “hate speech” or any reason other than clearly illegal speech (eg, child pornographers, blackmail, calls for violent overthrow of the government, making terroristic threats, terrorism).

The dummocraps have been on Trump 24/7 for 2 years for a totally fictitious charge of “collusion” with Russia to influence the 2016 election, but this obvious effort to influence elections gets a total pass. What the heck? Put that little fungus Zuckerberg in jail!

Why doesn’t this come through the Project Veritas site instead of Gateway Pundit? I am disgusted by how this site tries to claim the rights to videos and other work from other sites that deserve the credit and the hits.

I am not sure it would be that big a deal...I suspect Gateway Pundit has a much wider footprint than Project Veritas (though I could be wrong) and they do give all the credit overtly to Project Veritas.

I honestly would surprised if Project Veritas didn’t view the article at Gateway Pundit as simply a way to get more traffic to their own site.

That said, I just decided I am going to make a donation to Project Veritas. Those folks do great work.

He was questioned while not under oath.

Mark Zuckerberg will not be under oath during his Senate hearing, but will still have a 'legal obligation to testify truthfully'

Imagine that? Just you or I try and get away with it.

The GOP RINOs didn't even protest.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's why.

And this is surprising, No it’s not. Everyone knows facebook is Anti-American and Pro-Criminal, Illegal Alien and especially Muslim Terrorist Lovers/Supporters. I myself have been banned on a couple of occasions for speaking the truth about Islam and my posts there removed as hate speech. As such nonsense seems to be there forte now to stop conservative speech and promote the lies and deceit of the Lousy Lying Leftist Liberal Socialist/Communist Snowflake Losers and there Muslim Terrorist Allies.

Zuck and most of Silicon Valley understands its easy to lie to Politicians about technical issues.
They are all idiots regarding technology.

At least the DNC knows it needs to hire people to manage their tech issues.
The GOP-e attacks those who offer to help.

We are done making offers to help the Swamp of Village Idiots.
