There have been many claims of censorship of right-wing social media users. Earlier this year, Twitter faced backlash after a videotaped confession of an employee boasting about writing algorithms to “delete” conservatives.
Likewise, Donald Trump Jr. noted major declines in his Instagram analytics in May 2018; he also noticed the promotion of negative hashtags associated with his name. During the second half of 2017, the right-leaning PragerU filed a lawsuit against YouTube and Google for unlawful censorship. Suffice it to say, many conservatives and right-leaning social media users have echoed Trump’s claims.
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and other tech companies maintain ties to liberalism and Silicon Valley. The impact that those ties will have on conservatives appears daunting to many people.
