It is becoming obvious that Facebook<\/a> is doing what it can to limit conservative speech. Their labeling of Diamond and Silk<\/a> as “unsafe to the community” would have been hilarious if it wasn’t a threat to free speech. Facebook is a private company and has the right to post what they want. We as consumers have the right to use Facebook or not use Facebook. I won’t be boycotting Facebook–it keeps me up to date as to what my grandchildren are up to, but I do understand that the information playing field on Facebook is not level. Please follow the link to The Gateway Pundit to see the actual numbers on the censorship that has already taken place–it is stunning.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article headlined, “Zuckerberg<\/a>\u2019s Announcement Means Final Remaining Conservative Voices on Facebook Will Be Eliminated by Election Day<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The article included the following:<\/p>\n

Top conservative websites have seen a stunning drop in their Facebook traffic.\u00a0This was no accident. This was the plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January 2017, Facebook began making algorithm<\/a> changes to make sure conservative news was no longer so influential. The Gateway Pundit Facebook traffic has consistently decreased with each algorithm change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A March 2018 study by The Outline<\/a> organization found conservative publishers<\/a> were hit the hardest by Facebook algorithm changes. The study also showed that The Gateway Pundit was hit the hardest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The best way to counter this is to form a conservative Facebook. I am sure some entrepreneur somewhere is already working on that!<\/p>\n
