One of the anonymous Facebook whistleblowers who came forward to expose what appears to be a censorship initiative to combat "vaccine hesitancy" has revealed himself after he was apparently suspended by the tech giant.
Project Veritas founder speaks out on Hannity
Whistleblowers from Facebook are alleging that the tech giant is pushing an effort to censor content expressing vaccine hesitancy on its platform.
New reporting from Project Veritas shows leaked internal memo explaining Vaccine Hesitancy Comment Demotion which shows the goal is to drastically reduce user exposure to vaccine hesitancy.
Another leaked document addressed Borderline Vaccine (BV) Framework that delves into how to classify such content with another expressed goal of to identify and tier the categories of non-violating content that could discourage vaccination in certain contexts, thereby contributing to vaccine hesitancy or refusal, adding We have tiered these by potential harm and how much context is required in order to evaluate harm.

A Facebook whistleblower has gone public amid his suspension for leaking documents. On Thursday, Morgan Kahmann said telling Americans about the social media giant’s censorship of vaccine hesitant posts is more important than keeping his job.
This comes after he went undercover in a Project Veritas video and outlined Facebook’s algorithm to “drastically reduce user exposure to vaccine hesitancy in comments.” Kauhmann said numerous employees share his concerns, but fear the consequences of speaking out.
