WASHINGTON — Social media is supposed to be an avenue for open thought and free speech, but users are growing increasingly concerned at continual reports of censorship. Users of iVoterGuide.com, the premier online voter guide, are discovering that their Facebook posts about the voter guides are being taken down because they “violate community guidelines.” The speed and method of removal suggest that iVoterGuide is being targeted by Facebook’s algorithm. This outrageous attack on iVoterGuide’s well-researched and carefully curated content is just the latest in a long list of biased censorship .
“iVoterGuide provides non-partisan, factually documented research on candidates and issues,” says iVoterGuide President Debbie Wuthnow. “We do not endorse candidates or tell people how to vote; we simply provide publicly available information to educate voters. Yet, in the last several days, almost 100 users across the nation have reported that their posts are being removed for ‘violating community standards’ when they add a link directing others to iVoterGuide.
“How can providing the truth be deemed harmful to the community? We call on Meta to allow open discourse on all sides of the issues as we head into the critical 2024 elections, and we ask voters to counter this action by going directly to iVoterGuide.com.”
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, expressed regret last month over his role in removing content leading up to the 2020 election. In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, he stated Meta “made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today…I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
Yet just weeks later, iVoterGuide.com has become the latest example of Meta’s censorship.
