Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard has claimed that the social media network Instagram is seeking to silence her speech.
Gabbard made this allegation to Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night, reflecting on the dominance of big tech.
The video has also gone popular on Twitter, with over 250,000 views so far.
“Before appearing on your show today, I discovered that Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, is likewise limiting my voice,” Gabbard explained.
“On average, the videos I publish on Instagram receive between 250 and 300,000 views and tens of thousands of likes.” The video I posted last night or early this morning received approximately 10% of that, with roughly 15,000 views and a couple of thousand likes.
“It is apparent that they are trying everything they can to silence my voice and the message that I am bringing forth.”
Gabbard went into additional depth about what she believes is a larger plan of domination by a small group of elite elites.
“It’s just another illustration of the broader system that is clearly at work, controlling our marketplace of ideas.
“This machine is made up of the power elite, these major social media tech corporations, prominent politicians from both parties in Washington, and the military-industrial complex.
“People who are directly challenged when someone dares to question their narrative, the message they want the American people to hear.”
“While they can’t silence me, they’ll do everything they can, and we’re seeing them try everything they can, to make it so that few people dare to hear my voice.”
Gabbard did, however, post a video to her Instagram page on Wednesday, which has received over 18,000 views. The video she mentioned to Ingraham came from her discussion with Fox News’s Jesse Watters on Tuesday.
In a new Twitter video shared by her, she complains about how Facebook is depressing her voice. He even went ahead and said that Mark Zuckerberg is a mini tyrant. She said that she has been shadowbanned on Instagram. She said some users are getting notifications if they tag her that this user is spreading false information.
To my many friends on Instagram: I am being shadow banned. Unfortunately, Zuckerberg is blocking you from receiving many of my messages. This mini-tyrant is also de-prioritizing my name/account in the discover/search pages and … pic.twitter.com/Eu0rm0nhHK
