Glenn Beck said that 60 videos on his professional Facebook account were inexplicably demonetized. During his nationally syndicated show Tuesday, Beck said his social media team made the discovery last month.
“Some of them were posted as far back as February,” said Beck. “It’s important to understand the difference between being demonetized and a violation.”
According to Facebook a violation of community standards can occur when nudity or other sexually suggestive content is posted. Hate speech, credible threats, or direct attacks on an individual or group. Content that contains self-harm or excessive violence. Fake or impostor profiles. Spam.
“These videos are just demonetized because they are too sensitive for advertisers,” said Beck. “The way this works is very telling. Facebook allows advertisers to vaguely choose what kind of videos they want to associate themselves with.”
Beck added that some content is always demonetized no matter what the advertiser wants.
“This category includes misinformation. That’s determined by a list of independent third-party fact-checkers who are not all that independent and not all that fact checky.”
Beck said his team dug through the videos to find out what was demonetized.
“My podcast with Vivek [Ramaswamy] about ESG, my podcast with James Lindsay exposing CRT, one from March titled “Biden’s New World Order,” which I remember was his quote,” Beck said.
Beck said his team fought to get many of the de-platformed videos remonetized.
“I find it interesting that this occurred the same month that the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago and warned everybody about increased domestic violence extremism,” he added.
