My comment: I have known for a long time that we have been targets on FB. But not only as an individual am I targeted, but also the AMTM Facebook group as a whole is targeted. It used top be at one point, that we would get 100+ requests per day to join the group. Then one day ( on a literal day) that stopped suddenly. FB obviously made the AMTM group less visible to searchers. Since that day we are lucky if we get 2-3 requests per day, and instead of the group growing it stays static or goes backwards. As an individual, I have lost count of the number of times I have landed in “Facebook jail” for one or two weeks unable to post anything in groups.
As well as Facebook I am also aware that Youtube shadowbans AMTM as well, by doctoring down play numbers and making us less visible to people who are not subscribed to the channel.
Facebook admits it shadow-bans posts, pages it deems ‘false’
Conservatives say those trends are intentional. A 50-page report released in April by the conservative Media Research Center (MRC) noted that several former Facebook employees admitted in 2016 that the platform “routinely” manipulated its trending news feature to exclude topics of interest to conservatives.
“It was absolutely bias…It just depends on who the curator is and what time of day it is,” one former news curator said.
Recent instances of conservative and Christian content improperly restricted by Facebook include the video bloggers Diamond and Silk, a pro-life documentary on Roe v. Wade, a Holy Week ad by Franciscan University of Steubenville featuring the San Damiano Cross, advertising by Wexford/Missaukee Right to Life in Michigan, and advertising by Republican candidate for Michigan state Senate Aric Nesbitt.
Facebook says it relies on “fact checkers” to decide what content to suppress, but critics say that’s yet another part of the bias, thanks to its reliance on left-leaning publications such as Snopes and PolitiFact as ostensibly-impartial arbiters. The social media giant also takes advice on “hate speech policies” from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the group recently forced to pay a $3.4 million defamation settlement over a false accusation of “anti-Muslim extremism.”
“It seems Facebook wants it both ways,” Darcy replied to Facebook’s follow-up, noting that “claim[ing] it effectively demotes pages into oblivion […] sounds to me sort of like a ban without calling it a ban. So what happened to the whole free speech thing?”
