PragerU’s recent Facebook shadow-banning was reportedly due to a single “employee error” — this employee has been sent for guideline re-education but is still employed by the company.
Breitbart News spoke with PragerU recently following their issues with Facebook, the conservative non-profit found that many recent posts from their page were suffering from a 99.9999 percent drop in engagement based on Facebook’s own dashboard. The Social Media Masters of the Universe also pulled down two PragerU videos, which it labeled “hate speech.”
Since then, Facebook has apologized to PragerU, stating that the removal of videos was an error. A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement: “The videos in question were mistakenly removed. While we continue to research what caused this error, we have restored the content because it does not break our Community Standards and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
According to PragerU, Facebook contacted the non-profit about the issue and explained that the reason PragerU’s videos were removed is that a large number of users flagged the PragerU posts as inappropriate. The videos were then sent to a content review team where one of the employees reviewed them and decided to remove the videos as “hate speech.”

There is no such thing as "hate speech", only people with thin skins when they hear something they don't want to hear.

The label of "hate speech" is bogus from the start and that should be obvious to everyone who has read our Constitution which protects the freedom of all speech, writings and communication.
