Facebook Admits Their 3rd-Party “Fact Checks” Are “Protected Opinions” But Very Effective in Shutting Down Conservative Content on Their Platform
For years, starting after the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump as US President, Facebook has targeted The Gateway Pundit and other top conservative outlets.
Facebook hired third-party “fact-checkers” around three years ago to eliminate conservative content on the platform.
These so-called fact-checkers were extremely effective.
In November 2016 The Gateway Pundit was ranked in the top four of influential conservative outlets during the 2016 election.
In January 2017 Facebook, Google and Twitter waged a campaign to take away our social media traffic.
And they did.
The targeting of conservative media outlets by Facebook was so severe that The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft spoke to Congress in 2018 on the crisis.
A report in October at The Wall Street Journal confirms the continued Facebook bias against conservative Americans.
