WND: A Facebook insider has confirmed the social-media giant discriminates against conservatives through software manipulation, using “special features” to “deboost” their traffic, especially near elections.
The former employee of the Big Tech firm now works with James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, which released a video of her testimony.
She was a content review analyst for the intellectual property department, dealing with copyright and trademark claims.
As part of her work, she noticed some odd things on various accounts.
For example, one of the company’s engineers, Danny Ben David, had created an item called “actiondeboostlivedistribution” and was attaching it to accounts belonging to conservatives.
The insider said the obvious intent was to prevent distribution of that particular page or video.
It was one of the “methods of suppression,” she said.
It was done by disabling routine features on the page such as notifications.
“I would see it on several different conservatives pages,” she said, noting pages for Mike Cernovich, Steven Crowder and the Daily Caller.
She also pointed out Facebook was doing the throttling and even taking down material without letting the user know.
The insider noted company CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s claim to Congress, “We want to make sure we have the widest possible expression.” more
Where’s the FCC when you need them?????
Facebook = liars
Perry is spot on, the left has infiltrated the watchmen in the bureaucracy.
What is most amazing is how tech-savvy conservatives haven’t launched the alternative to Facebook. We’d all be on it, and off Facebook.
