This seemed like a righteous mission and yet, as time went by, it became clear the Facebook bosses saw an even bigger threat, Americans of a different political viewpoint. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ryan watched in horror as Facebook made a monumental shift after the 2016 elections, hiring thousands of US-based content moderators with one mission, to favor leftist viewpoints while suppressing the speech of conservatives. Ryan describes more than forty examples of such behavior, and it will radically rewrite your understanding of the past four years as you learn how the news regarding prominent individuals like Greta Thunberg, Alyssa Milano, and Don Lemon was censored to remove legitimate criticism of them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Viral videos of Trump supporters being attacked were removed from the platform, and moderators were told to look for signs of hate speech in Trumps' State of the Union addresses, while at the same time allowing vicious attacks against police, pro-lifers, and straight white males. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As America's de-facto town square, Facebook was systematically suppressing free speech, which has traditionally been our country's greatest weapon to combat extremism from either side. Ryan knew he had to take action, and contacted Project Veritas, eventually filming many of these actions with a hidden camera for the world to see. We need to stand up against tech tyranny and corporations that attempt to control our conversations, our news, and our political narratives. Reading \u003ci\u003eBehind the Mask of Facebook: A Whistleblower's Shocking Story of Big Tech Bias and Censorship​\u003c\/i\u003e is the first step to learning how to confront and defeat this tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Hartwig, Kent Heckenlively\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1510767940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510767942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Ryan Hartwig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050756960511,"sku":"9781510767942","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67ea755b-883d-47ad-82fa-4a2f58848582.jpg?v=1685009062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/behind-the-mask-of-facebook-ryan-hartwig-9781510767942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
