Anti-wokeness is very popular. Not trusting the presidential elections is very popular. Not trusting big pharma is very popular.

All of these are algorithmically suppressed.

If the definition of popular is what you see on twitter, etc, then nothing popular is being censored by definition.

Source? I've seen this claim many times but is it just a feeling or is there at least a whistleblower?

There are some whistleblowers indeed, but for the most part many dominant tech companies semiopenly proclaim these groups to be "dangers to society" and many admit to use "throttling", shadow-banning, and "machine learning fairness" to reduce the exposure to these thought crimes.

The only reason there are limited numbers of whistleblowers is that Tech companies actively brainwash their employees to think that the marginalized opinions are just some "small dangerous fringe nazi thing", similarly to how the commenters I replied to seem to think.
