Second Round of Meta Engineers Reveal Election Censorship Practices

O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released a second round of Meta engineers revealing censorship practices.
On Wednesday night O’Keefe Media Group released undercover video of a senior Meta engineer admitting anti-Kamala posts on Facebook and Instagram are automatically demoted.
Jeevan Gyawali told the OMG undercover journalist that the Meta user is not notified when their anti-Kamala posts are censored.
“Say your uncle in Ohio said something about Kamala Harris is unfit to be a president because she doesn’t have a child, that kind of sh*t is automatically demoted,” reveals Meta Senior Software Engineer, Jeevan Gyawali to an undercover O’Keefe Media journalist during a hidden camera date.
He confirmed, “The person would not be notified,” but would see a decline in their post engagement and impressions, explaining that Meta’s “Integrity Team” is responsible for controlling content through “civic classifiers,” a system that “shadowbans” posts without notifying users.
OMG released more undercover footage of Meta engineers admitting pro-Trump posts are taken down by a special team.
