Editing Reality: Former Employees Admit Facebook Censors Conservative NewsBy Melissa Dykes Thats a lot of people who visit and participate on the site, not just to share pictures of what they had for breakfast for their pet cat doing something cute, but also to read and share news. As it turns out, Facebook censors the news. Referred to internally as news curators, several former Facebook employees have admitted to Gizmodo that they were told to not only suppress conservative news from its coveted trending section, but they were also instructed to artificially inject certain stories into the news section that werent trending at all, such as Black Lives Matter protests. One employee stated that stories about CPAC or Rand Paul for example would be kept off the trending news list even though they were actuallyorganically trending. They also were ordered specifically not to place any stories about Facebook itself on there (see pic above). Gizmodo reports that an employee admitted this had a chilling effect on conservative news: Depending on who was on shift, things would be blacklisted or trending, said the former curator. This individual asked to remain anonymous, citing fear of retribution from the company The former curator was so troubled by the omissions that they kept a running log of them at the time; this individual provided the notes to Gizmodo. Among the deep-sixed or suppressed topics on the list: former IRS official Lois Lerner, who was accused by Republicans of inappropriately scrutinizing conservative groups; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker; popular conservative news aggregator the Drudge Report; Chris Kyle, the former Navy SEAL who was murdered in 2013; and former Fox News contributor Steven Crowder. So, Facebook lies to its users about what it shows as trending in the news. And, unlike when CNN or Fox News does it, Facebook gets an average of 1.65 billion viewers every month 167 million in the us alone. Globally, thats over 1/7 of the planet having its news censored by primarily ivy leaguers hired by liberal Facebook to act as news curators and censor what gets shared, read, and ultimately for those who trust the site, what gets known about whats going on in our world. Can you imagine what a boon a place like Facebook is for government propaganda? Zuckerberg is, after all, a huge Obama fan. Its also being alleged that Facebook made Black Lives Matter a trending news item when it wasnt by purposefully inserting it into the news feed. Facebook got a lot of pressure about not having a trending topic for Black Lives Matter. They gave it preference over other topics We know Twitter works the same way and so does Googles breaking and trending news. We can tell ourselves that people will go elsewhere to read and vet news, but come on. We live in a world where the average human attention span is now smaller than that of a goldfish. To act like the Internet isnt powerful enough to influence reality, including protests, politics and even the outcome of elections, is just wishful thinking.
