However, the extent of manipulated algorithms is not merely limited to the aforementioned, conservative outlets. Engagement to the president’s Facebook page has lessened by 45%.

Will Conservative Censorship Backfire on the Left?
Since the inception of Donald Trump’s entry into the 2016 election, various operatives have aimed to subdue him. First, the deep state began by launching character assassinations against then-candidate Trump and his supporters. This commonly occured with ongoing, flimsy accusations of racism, sexism, xenophobia, misogyny, and the like. Of course, these attempts failed and did not stop Americans from voting for the president and against Clinton in November 2016.
The deep state’s next step involves the weaponized employment of social media to silence conservatives and Trump supporters. Earlier this year, Twitter faced heat after the surfacing of a videotaped admission of their employee bragging about the censorship of conservative accounts. Similarly to Twitter, YouTube and Google also landed in hot water for unlawful censorship of PragerU, a right-wing organization.
