Facebook has buried the page of Conservative non-profit group PragerU and “reduced distribution” of its posts claiming that PragerU has engaged in “repeated sharing of false news.” The decision comes on the heels of a fact check of a PragerU video about polar bears by Facebook third-party fact-checker Climate Feedback.
BREAKING:@Facebook has reduced our page reach and implemented restrictions for "repeated sharing of false news."
Facebook is using biased 3rd party fact-checkers to flag content and censor conservatives.
Is Facebook now the arbiter of truth?

PragerU provided the following statement:
We recently received a notification from Facebook that our page will now have “reduced distribution and other restrictions because of repeated sharing of false news.” This is due to one of our recent videos about the polar bear population – which was rated as false by a 3rd party “fact-checker” (despite us including a source to all the facts provided in the video). Despite over 3 million followers voluntarily opting in to be able to view PragerU posts in the news feed, Facebook has now decided they will not allow many of our followers to see future posts.
Unfortunately, this is just the latest in a long-running pattern of big tech companies silencing conservative speech on their platforms.

Easy fix - develop your own social platform. Use your existing website. If your followers truly want to hear your news, they can just as easily go to your website.
THE LEFT IN IN PANIC MELTDOWN...THEY KNOW WE ARE WINNING AND JUST CAN'T STOMACH IT...SOOOOOOO LET'S CENSOR ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA...FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ETC. PATRIOTS ARE THE NEWS NOW AND WE THE PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GET AROUND ALL THIS...YES; WE ARE WINNING THE WAR OF IDEAS AND THOUGHT.
Facebook dump it...Luciferians hate truth. Prefer deception and lies.

agree they are
as they were in 2016
Your missing the point
No I’m not missing the point. He’s complaining about a private corporation setting their own rules of behavior. As a conservative, he should recognize private enterprises can do whatever they want and allow whatever speech they want on their platform. If he doesn’t like that, he can use private enterprise and start his own platform with his own terms of service.
No, you DON'T get the point. Yes, Prager could establish their own platform, but Its NOT ok to accuse them of repeating false information, without proving its false information. If a private company sets GUIDELINES, then the guidelines should be across the board. Otherwise, why have guidelines? If guidelines arw only enforced on "whim" then their false, which is what they're accusing Prager of. Don't ya get it? Now, what if it was a prominent Liberal program? Would or not be ok then?
Ya'll are hysterical.
Facebook is a private company. They can do what they want. No one has to go there, and no one has to post content there.
Just cause ya'll like some of FakerU's content doesn't absolve them of repeatedly sharing false news. Look this isn't just a FakerU thing... this is anyone who repeatedly shares false news of Facebook... this happens to ANYONE doing this on Facebook, not just FakerU.
Ya'll support a baker who doesn't wanna serve gays right? Let em find a cake elsewhere?
Yet when it's your thing there's outrage. A business wants you to wear a mask, well no way jose! A business gets to decide what content is on it's website... absolutely not.
Ya'll just pick and choose what gets you outraged, like a bunch of selfish children.
