The O’Keefe Media Group recently uncovered shocking information regarding the censorship practices of a senior Meta engineer. In an undercover video released by OMG, the engineer, Jeevan Gyawali, admitted that posts critical of Kamala Harris on Facebook and Instagram are automatically demoted without the user’s knowledge.
According to Gyawali, posts that criticize Harris, such as questioning her fitness for the presidency due to her lack of children, are flagged by Meta’s “Integrity Team” and shadowbanned using “civic classifiers.” This means that the posts are suppressed without notifying the user, leading to a decline in engagement and impressions.
The revelations didn’t stop there. Gyawali also disclosed the existence of a specialized SWAT team at Meta, established in April to anticipate and combat potential abuses of the platform. When questioned about Meta’s role in protecting democracy from disinformation, Gyawali assured that any content deemed harmful to the narrative would be demoted by 100%.
Furthermore, Gyawali admitted that Meta wields significant power in influencing political outcomes. He confirmed that the platform has the ability to sway election results and that Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s Co-Founder and CEO, fully supports the company’s agenda to assist the Democratic Party.
The implications of these revelations are profound. They raise serious concerns about the manipulation of information and the impact it can have on political discourse and democratic processes. The video released by O’Keefe Media Group sheds light on the inner workings of social media platforms and the extent to which they can shape public opinion.
