Senior Meta Engineer Says Zuckerberg Has 'SWAT Team' to Squelch Anti-Kamala Harris Posts on Facebook | 17 Oct 2024 | In a new undercover video released by James O’Keefe and his O'Keefe Media Group (OMG), a senior Meta engineer, Jeevan Gyawali, revealed that Meta employs strategies to "demote" posts critical of Kamala Harris. The footage, recorded during a hidden-camera interaction, shows Gyawali explaining how Meta's algorithms and content moderation practices reduce the visibility of certain politically charged posts without informing the users. He gave the example of someone posting about Harris being "unfit to be president because she doesn't have a child," which would be automatically down-ranked to prevent its reach. Gyawali went on to describe how Meta's "Integrity Team" uses tools like "civic classifiers" to shadow-ban posts. The discussion implies that Meta is actively moderating posts related to misinformation or topics deemed harmful to democracy, with Gyawali confirming that posts they consider disinformation are "100% demoted."
