Remix News censored: After earning 100 million views on Facebook, Meta hits us with shadowban

 

Many who frequent our news site may be unaware how successful our videos have been on a variety of platforms, most notably Facebook. Over the last year, Remix News’ video views on that platform grew 2,500 percent, reaching 100 million, up from just 4 million last year. This explosive growth, we assumed, would eventually catch the attention of Facebook’s censors. That time has finally come.

 

In terms of views and engagement, Remix News was towering over rival news pages with vastly larger staffs and financial resources, including Politico, Euronews, and a host of other top names on Facebook. Now, our growth has come to an abrupt halt after Facebook hit Remix News with a claim that we were “promoting hate groups” three weeks ago and stopped recommending our page to its users, which amounts to what is effectively a shadowban.

Remix News was also additionally accused of sharing “spam” a week ago, a frivolous claim that Facebook does not even give us the option to appeal.
