The latest undercover video from O’Keefe Media Group in a series called "The Meta Tapes" has revealed a Meta senior software engineer talking about how the platform censors users for speaking out against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her party.
When asked by the undercover journalist how Meta controls so-called hate speech from the Republican Party, Senior Software Engineer Jeevan Gyawali replied that the Integrity Team at Meta, a "pretty significant team," builds "civic classifiers" which is "a really large model that’s been trained on civic content."
"So anything that it detects to be a civic content is, like, demoted." He clarified that "civic classifier" means anything related to "political content" is "automatically not shown."
