"Say your uncle in Ohio said something about Kamala Harris is unfit to be a president because she doesn't have a child, that kind of shit is automatically demoted,” reveals Meta Senior Software Engineer, Jeevan Gyawali, to an undercover OKeefeMedia journalist during a hidden camera date. He confirmed, “The person would not be notified,” but would see a decline in their post engagement and impressions, explaining that Meta’s “Integrity Team” is responsible for controlling content through “civic classifiers,” a system that “shadowbans” posts without notifying users.
Gyawali also revealed a specialized political censorship team that was created at Meta, stating, “There is a SWAT team that's already set up since April… just to think about all the scenarios of how the platform could be abused.” When asked if Meta is doing their due diligence to protect democracy from disinformation, Gyawali ensured “that’s all going to be demoted 100%.”
When asked, “You guys [Meta] have the ability to influence the outcome of the election?” Gyawali confirmed, “Yes,” admitting Meta’s power to sway political outcomes. When asked if Mark Zuckerberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Meta, supports Meta’s political influence and agenda to help the Democratic Party, Gyawali answered, “100%.”
