Approved at April BPDA Board Meeti ng Censoring Conservatives? Just think for a moment, what if you put a letter in the mailbox and, instead of it going to the addressee, the U.S. Postal Service put it in the garbage can. This is what many conservatives believe is happening on social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, which are run by liberals who appear to have a bias against conservative activists. This is called “shadow banning” or “stealth banning,” where user’s posts are blocked from showing up in follower’s news feeds. According to Boston Herald con- servative columnist Adriana Cohen, “My suspicion is Twitter and Facebook suppress supporters of President Trump.” Recently, bestselling author Brad Thor was issued a suspension warning for engaging in a Second Amendment debate with a liberal opponent. As Adriana Cohen wondered aloud, “Maybe Congress should ask Mark Zuckerberg ... why he’s violating my First Amendment rights.
