Facebook risks losing over a third of its conservative users over concerns the social media company censors their content.

According to the poll conducted by the Media Research Center, 32% of self- described conservatives who use Facebook have left or are considering leaving the platform due to political censorship.

Additionally, 66% of conservative users agree they don’t trust Facebook to treat users equally and and fairly regardless of political beliefs.

Another 65% stated they believe major tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter deliberately censor conservative content.

“The question Facebook and other social media companies need to ask themselves is this: Do you want to be seen as an open platform for all political beliefs or would you rather be considered a left-wing public interest group that censors free speech worldwide?” MRC President Brent Bozell said in a statement in response to the poll results.

“The latter will prove to be unbelievably costly. Censorship on social media is no longer a hypothetical; it’s reality. So too is the evidence that this censorship is pointing to a massive conservative exodus.”

Facebook not only censored Infowars content, but deleted four of our pages entirely under the guise of fighting “hate speech,” when in reality the social media giant received intense pressure from Democrats in Congress and CNN to de-platform Alex Jones.

WHILE WE HAVE YOU… Mass censorship of conservatives and libertarians is exploding. You’ve already seen this with the demonetization and ultimate purge of Infowars and other alternative media outlets by mega-corporations working in tangent to stifle competition. But you are important in this fight. Your voice is important. Your free thought is important. Make no mistake, you are just as important as anyone in the Anti-American establishment.

So, where is the conservative entrepreneurialism?

With such a huge exodus and dissatisfaction, there's an obvious crying need for a conservative Facebook, a conservative Twitter, a conservative Google.

Are only liberals clever enough to create and operate such things as these?

How about a conservative television network? We don't have one as of now. Fox can hardly be classified as one as they have a resident homo-progressive on board in the shape of Shep.

For some reason, conservatives don't engage in these sorts of businesses. Va savoir pourquoi.

perhaps it is just about the numbers...

https://news.gallup.com/poll/225074/conservative-lead-ideology-down-single- digits.aspx

On a platform such as Facebook, I would suggest the % of users who DO NOT identify as conservative is far larger than those who DO

Same with Twitter.....

I would further suggest that with the exception of those for which the right- wing talking points are the only topics worth discussing, most people just don't want to hear that stuff.

Every post or tweet or whatever has a way to respond like: "I don't want to see this" or "block all from"

Most people use this feature a lot. I know I do.

my 2 cents

In a democracy such as ours, popularity and palatability matter.

When you're a cranky minority (like I am), you've gotta have a sense of humor about it or you end up really isolated.
