Facebook’s much-publicized demotion of publishers’ content in users’ news feeds has negatively impacted conservative-leaning publishers significantly more than liberal-leaning outlets, an analysis by The Western Journal has revealed.

Liberal publishers have gained about 2 percent more web traffic from Facebook than they were getting prior to the algorithm changes implemented in early February.

On the other hand, conservative publishers have lost an average of nearly 14 percent of their traffic from Facebook.

This algorithm change, intentional or not, has in effect censored conservative viewpoints on the largest social media platform in the world. This change has ramifications that, in the short-term, are causing conservative publishers to downsize or fold up completely, and in the long-term could swing elections in the United States and around the world toward liberal politicians and policies.

  1. May a Truck of Peace come upon Mr. Zuckerberg.

    If Facebook is going to censor its social media site, it cannot then plead innocent to being sued or charged with crimes for content it has on its social media site. SUE THE CRAP OFF FACEBAG AND PECKERBURG.

    BTW same goes for Twitter and all other social media sites, you can’t cry that your businesses are just conduits to the social media world when you censor content based on irrational and typical of liberals emotional thoughts and ideas.
