A Meta engineer admitted that Facebook has been 'automatically demoting' posts criticizing Kamala Harris in an undercover sting.

Senior software engineer Jeevan Gyawali was caught by a hidden camera while on a date discussing how Meta's algorithms and content moderation practices reduce the visibility of certain politically charged posts without informing the users.

He provided an explanation to the unknown woman who sat at the other side of the table, saying if someone posts about Harris is 'unfit to be president because she does not have a child' that 'kind of s*** is automatically demoted.'

Who is surprised?

This is the same Zuckerberg company which in 2020 donated $400 million to leftist groups to implement voter fraud in swing states

Something needs to be done about this. Clearly peoples rights are trampled and other groups do this as well.

Today, you have very few platforms that allow for true free speech.

And you have very few journalists that actually do investigative reporting. Thank you, James O’Keefe.

During the revolution, we’ll have to resort to memes and truth posted on public walls, posts and posts and also distributing pamphlets on the street.

Of course will be arrested, just as in the colonies, but this time by the DOJ et al, yet still the king’s army. It’s coming.

The real reason for “freedom of the press”...that would be the printing press...printing pamphlets with actual truthful news which discredited the king’s “news”paper’s lies and educated the people.

For edification, maybe search “pamphleteers”.

What was old is new again.

The “Facebook Censored People and we feel bad” letter was a message to all of the politicos that Facebook can ‘make them’ or break them so PAY UP politicians we have a couple of dozen bills for you to file in the next cycle.
