Prager University went from reaching around 75,000 of their 3 million Facebook followers per post to an average of 2 after being flagged for "hate speech."

From Mediaite:

Facebook has issued an apology after it removed content from Prager University's Facebook page, prompting the organization to claim "we're being heavily censored."

"We mistakenly removed these videos and have restored them because they don't break our standards," Facebook wrote on Twitter on Friday.

Facebook added: "This will reverse any reduction in content distribution you've experienced. We're very sorry and are continuing to look into what happened with your Page."

BREAKING: We're being heavily censored on @Facebook.

Our last 9 posts are reaching 0 of our 3 million followers. At least two videos were deleted last night for “hate speech” including our recent video with @conservmillen.

The posts removed talked about Israel's right to exist and posited that the Paris Climate Accord doesn't help the earth.

PragerU responded to Facebook's apology by asking, "Does anyone really believe this was simply a mistake?"

Shadow bans are supposed to be subtle!

I guess it's all for the best as it makes it that much easier for the Trump administration to drop the hammer on these Big Tech censors.

"Hate speech" is a made up, undefinable, fake concept which doesn't even exist under American law. The notion these Big Tech companies, which have become the public square, would censor people for "hate speech" rather than follow the First Amendment is far more offensive than any extreme rhetoric.

As President Trump said over the weekend, "Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!"

Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others.......

.....Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..

....Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!
