President Trump meets with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, March 19, 2019, in Washington. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 19 at 5:26 PM Donald Trump Jr. has been on a mission recently, writing articles for RealClearPolitics and The Hill arguing that conservatives are the target of censorship by technology companies.
President Trump was asked by a reporter from the conservative Daily Caller about the role of tech companies in spreading misinformation during a joint press conference on Tuesday. He didn’t directly answer the question. To bolster his case for rampant censorship, Trump Jr.'s essays point to various anecdotes, including that he himself had an image removed by Instagram . In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Trump Jr. said he heard from a number of people after complaining about that removal.
We’ve seen this debate before. Last summer, a number of conservatives claimed they’d been “shadow banned” by Twitter -- a phrase that was used to describe their no longer appearing in Twitter search results. The most likely culprit, though, was that the affected individuals had triggered Twitter’s own anti-trolling measures, which had, at that point, only recently been implemented.
When BuzzFeed spoke with a group of Macedonian teens who were making money hand-over-fist during the 2016 election, they were explicit: Content focused on appealing to Trump supporters did much, much better. That’s a dangerous tendency in a space like social media, where small groups can quickly seem to be outsized. Nunes complaining about hundreds of accounts hassling him and insisting that they must be fake accounts simply because of the scale misses the point of social media. He’s a nationally visible figure engaged in sharply partisan politics. It’s not at all surprising that, especially during a campaign, he’d be targeted by a few hundred people a day who had unkind things to say to him.

See his face melt in real time!
Monster is doing reverse again
Just more of Trumps fabricated stories, it's all in his mind not real.
They won't complain when the new regulations come in then.
There you go again poor writers at Post.
Ok, I'll bite: where's the evidence?
There is never any evidence or facts that back up any Trump, they just lie and keep lying until you give up arguing the facts. I hope if and when there's a debate, whomever the Democratic contender is they call out all the lies being said.
He looks like his Mother...Google it...🤡
...its just the biggest, most biggest discrimination ever....its big, really big, and when I say BIG, I really mean that.....so big, and I know it & YOU know it, that it is bigger than just big......its (go ahead....you know its coming....) ‘UGELY BIGGLY BIG!!!!!!
Only cons[ervatives] discriminate big time! No place in society for cons!
Anyone who has been paying attention knows the opposite is true.
This is not journalism.
Trump's...both of them...are such cry babies....new conspiracy theories all the time...
Evil face
Must be a new thought. Maybe he's thinking he spent 4.5 million in advertisements in vain because yhe vulgar supremacists are being taken off. Not enough ego stroking
Please
It’s always Festivus and the Airing of Grievances for this white supremacist clown.
Oh do forgive me - I though you are made POTUS by them with FakeNews
Since when is it ok in capitalistic society to tell a business what it should do. FREE ENTPRISE!
Well there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than the Tears of a Clown When there's no one around
Since when did evidence matter to the Trump Crime Syndicate?
Shadowbanned, eh? So what I'm hearing is that normally, by their projections, many more angry white supremacists/misogynists should be on here right now calling me a stupid c-bomb than the numbers they are coming up with. C'est tragique. Bigly.
Just curious Is that because tech companies are: innovative forward thinking progressive & conservatives are the complete opposite?
He will be gone soon
When will this POS be called out?!!!
its way past time to do something about it. people like jack have acquired the power to twist the media and censor the town hall. its time to stop jack, and his buddies at google, facebook, etc. regulate the FUCK out of these douchebags!
And you repeat the lies...
Yet he’s buying ads like crazy.
Wrong again , Social Media is just not allowing Hate Speech anymore !
Silly Muppet.
There are so few conservatives which aren’t harmed by “big discrimination” whatever the hell that means !
If you own a coffee bar where people congregate and chat, it's not discrimination if you make someone leave who is pissing on the floor. Spreading fake news, disinformation, false flag and crisis actor claims, outright lies, racism, anti-Semitism & hate is pissing on the floor.
Not including the Russian bots.
that face. I hate that face
The only way a liberal can win a debate is by silencing a conservative.
If that is the case why am I reading all this shit about him in my twitter feed?
Couldn't possibly be from all the hateful rhetoric from the alt-right polluting every facet of social media....
Yet another lie to rile up the base!
The Oompa Loompa speaks.
Calling Twitter discrimination... on Twitter.
