Just to update you on this story from earlier tonight on Facebook censoring videos from Prager University, the social media platform is now admitting it screwed up and will investigate:
We mistakenly removed these videos and have restored them because they don't break our standards. This will reverse any reduction in content distribution you’ve experienced. We’re very sorry and are continuing to look into what happened with your Page.

Yeah … NOT BUYING that it was a mistake:
Does anyone really believe this was simply a mistake? https://t.co/DZZ5MUmjg4

Removing two videos, marking them as “hate speech” and then subsequently censoring over 15 of our following posts to reach 0 of our 3 million followers is not a mistake. It’s deliberate censorship of conservative ideas. https://t.co/DZZ5MUmjg4
