Tech Giants Google and Facebook are currently purging conservative content from Facebook and YouTube — They are hiding conservative stories on Google — They are shadow-banning conservative news on all social media.
Today, during the questioning of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg by US House members, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), asked Mark Zuckerberg about those algorithm changes and how they affected conservative page owners. As has been the case with Mark Zuckerberg throughout the hearings today and yesterday with the Senate members, Zuckerberg switched the conversation to “terrorists”, attempting to convince viewers that the only people or group the censor are terrorists.
As if on cue, Rep. Marsha Blackburn reminded Mark Zuckerberg that “Diamond and Silk” (who have been making a lot of noise about Facebook’s censorship of their Facebook page and content) is “not terrorism”.

In February Facebook launched a new algorithm to ensure that conservative news would not spread on the social media platform.
Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft has compiled a stunning collection of data pointing to a drastic drop in conservative publisher’s reach following the election of Donald Trump.
This was after Facebook announced it was losing 50,000,000 user hours a day in the previous quarter.
The algorithm change caused President Donald Trump’s engagement on Facebook posts to plummet a whopping 45%.
In contrast, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) do not appear to have suffered a comparable decline in Facebook engagement.
Top conservative Facebook pages with daily traffic in the millions have seen 75% to 95% drop in traffic.
Young Cons, Western Journalism, SarahPalin.com, Independent Journal Review, Right Wing News, 100 Percent FED UP and several others have seen a dramatic loss in traffic.
Here are actual examples of how traffic imploded for pro-Trump conservative news sites after Donald Trump won the election:
1) On Tuesday @Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Senate committee members that Facebook does not target conservatives.
That is a lie.
I am going to show you what a huge lie that is.
