Zuckerberg Regrets Silencing Speech. I Say 'Prove It'
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Rebecca FriedrichsHis actions obstructed vital information on effective COVID protocols, and bolstered the lie that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. This did enormous damage to our health and polity.
But Facebook's censorship brought harm to innocent children too. I'm a longtime teacher, and for decades I've personally witnessed dangerous corruption in America's schools. I dared to warn families, so I was silenced by Zuckerberg's "shadow-banning," thanks to algorithms imposed by censors ("fact checkers") at Meta.
Meta's banning (as well as Twitter's) began the very same night of my 2020 speech at the Republican National Convention. My pages changed from active with hundreds of likes and shares to zero likes and shares. And I went from rapid, daily follower increases to a complete halt in growth. Hundreds of my followers have reached out to me since the banning began to tell me that they no longer see my posts in their newsfeeds. Instagram's (Meta's) analytics show that an average of only 25% of my followers are seeing my content. That's how shadow-banning works. I'm allowed to post, but my message is squelched.
Though I'm a volunteer in this battle for the kids, I had to hire social media experts to help me get my message to the public. They've reignited my social media presence – predominantly on Meta's Instagram – with a reel-heavy strategy. Our ratios are the highest they've ever been – with the exception of follower count. That doesn't add up.
It's even worse on Facebook and X. We have high hopes that we'll be freed on X since Elon is now in charge, but we've been unable to reach their tech team for support and believe our pre-existing Twitter shadow-banning has yet to be lifted on X.
Government tech is suppressing my speech because I exposed so-called teacher unions for morphing America's schools into social, sexual, and political warzones, and I shared personal stories of how they pick on loving teachers and little kids. Though I spoke 100% eyewitness truth, I'm still shadow-banned four years later.
I know many people like me who are also banned on social media. We're denied our free speech rights, while the predators we're exposing broadcast loudly.
Zuckerberg stated that he believes "the government pressure [to censor content] was wrong." He also penned, "I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again."
