On Tuesday February 12th 2019 the SNP's Ian Blackford gave a barnstorming speech in parliament in which he criticised Theresa May on multiple fronts for the absolute shambles she's made of implementing Brexit.
I thought the speech was so good I uploaded it to Facebook to share it with the 335,000+ people who follow my page. I then spent 20 minutes adding subtitles to the video because I know that really helps deaf people, and people who can't listen to their device for whatever reason.
After adding the subtitles I went to check how many people had already watched it, and it turned out to be just one. Me, as I was adding subtitles to it.
Ever since Facebook changed their algorithms to dramatically reduce the reach of independent pages like mine I've noticed that my videos are getting a lot fewer views, but this example is quite extraordinary. The Facebook algorithms somehow decided to show this video to zero of the 1/3 of a million people who follow my page (not even the people who have selected "see first" to ensure they don't miss out on my content).
So here's the text commentary and then the video that Facebook apparently doesn't want you to see.
UPDATE: Facebook is now blocking me from posting links on my page, so I can't even share this article about the video they're blocking my audience from watching.Ian Blackford's barnstorming condemnation of Theresa May on multiple fronts over the farcical Brexit shambles she's created.pic.twitter.com/XdU7Jn6JjK— Another Angry Voice (@Angry_Voice) February 12, 2019

Why is Facebook blocking Another Angry Voice?
AAV has 335,000 followers.
Why has AAV's latest video been blocked?
Why has AAV been unable to post links and pictures?
IF THEY GET THOUSANDS THEY MIGHT JUST PAY ATTENTION.
This is what happens when you let a multi-million dollar organisation hire a weaselly, self-serving yellow Tory who has a lot to answer for in the last nine years.
I wonder, with their drive to limit "fake news", if they now review all videos that Facebook haven't reviewed before.
Of course mainstream media won't get the same level of scrutiny.
