Twitter Employees EXPOSED Planning On “Shadow Banning” Conservatives

Liberals LOVE calling conservatives conspiracy theorists when we say that it’s getting harder and harder to get information out there.

Wonder why you hardly ever see any of our stories come up on Facebook anymore? I don’t really think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence…

We have people tell us EVERY DAY that they don’t see our stories and posts on their social media accounts anymore, and when they do, that they only see CERTAIN TYPES of posts…

Which is why we tell people to come DIRECTLY to our site – and stop relying on social media to actually get you information. They are filtering our – and many other conservatives’ – content AWAY from you.

People have also made claims of being “shadow banned” from different social media outlets for a while.

Now there’s proof.

This is big.

According to the Project Veritas website:

In the latest undercover Project Veritas video investigation, current and former Twitter employees are on camera explaining steps the social media giant is taking to censor political content that they don’t like.

This video release follows the first undercover Twitter exposé Project Veritas released on January 10th which showed Twitter Senior Network Security Engineer Clay Haynes saying that Twitter is “more than happy to help the Department of Justice with their little [President Donald Trump] investigation.” Twitter responded to the video with a statement shortly after that release, stating “the individual depicted in this video was speaking in a personal capacity and does not represent of speak for Twitter.” The video released by Project Veritas today features eight employees, and a Project Veritas spokesman said there are more videos featuring additional employees coming.

On January 3rd 2018 at a San Francisco restaurant, Abhinov Vadrevu, a former Twitter Software Engineer explains a strategy, called “shadow banning,” that to his knowledge, Twitter has employed:

“One strategy is to shadow ban so you have ultimate control. The idea of a shadow ban is that you ban someone but they don’t know they’ve been banned, because they keep posting and no one sees their content. So they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it.”

Twitter is in the process of automating censorship and banning, says Twitter Software Engineer Steven Pierre on December 8th of 2017:

“Every single conversation is going to be rated by a machine and the machine is going to say whether or not it’s a positive thing or a negative thing. And whether it’s positive or negative doesn’t (inaudible), it’s more like if somebody’s being aggressive or not. Right? Somebody’s just cursing at somebody, whatever, whatever. They may have point, but it will just vanish… It’s not going to ban the mindset, it’s going to ban, like, a way of talking.”

Olinda Hassan, a Policy Manager for Twitter’s Trust and Safety team explains on December 15th, 2017 at a Twitter holiday party that the development of a system of “down ranking” “shitty people” is in the works:

“Yeah. That’s something we’re working on. It’s something we’re working on. We’re trying to get the shitty people to not show up. It’s a product thing we’re working on right now.”

Former Twitter Engineer Conrado Miranda confirms on December 1st, 2017 that tools are already in place to censor pro-Trump or conservative content on the platform. When asked whether or not these capabilities exist, Miranda says, “that’s a thing.”

A lot more where that came from on their website.

I know many of you will say that you don’t depend on Social Media for information…. and so this isn’t a big deal to you.

Here’s the thing… YES. it’s a HUGE deal.

The VAST majority of our traffic comes from posts we publish directly to our social media pages. Like it or not, that’s how MOST people, on BOTH sides, get a lot of their info. It’s just the reality of the society we live in!

So listen up, conservatives! Remember to come DIRECTLY to the source… whether that be us or any other conservative outlet… because this is serious stuff.
