BUSTED! Insider Leaks Docs; Explains “Deboosting” “Troll Report” & Political Targeting

What you’re about to read, hear, and see explains A LOT about how MANY of us have been SHADOW BANNED on various social media accounts.
- The In5D YouTube channel has almost 150,000 subscribers, yet any given video only gets 1,000 views.
- On Facebook, In5D has 430,000 followers, yet any given article gets between 1-3,000 views or about 0.002% of our followers.
This has been happening to the In5D Facebook page since about 2013 or so.
In the first 4 years of In5D, our FB page picked up 400,000 followers, quickly. From 2013 until now, just an additional 30,000. It’s amazing that anyone finds us with the amount we’ve been suppressed. Fortunately, we have 10,000 email subscribers who are able to follow In5D.com on a daily or weekly basis.
What does a shadow ban LOOK like?
I’ve noticed recently that when I log onto Facebook with my cell phone, it shows that there are ZERO active friends online. That literally has NEVER happened to me! It’s obvious that Facebook has placed parameters on who is able to see my page and on what type of device it can be viewed. Cell phones are used more than any other platform for viewing websites, so it would make sense that FB would target people who visit websites on their cell phones.
Another clue can be found when you visit your own page and the most recent post is from several weeks ago.
I’ve had NUMEROUS people tell me the same thing… that they haven’t seen me post anything in weeks and nothing recent is showing up on my pages.
More confirmation:
On March 1, 2019, I received this message from one of my friends who follows In5D:
“Hi. I looked at your page. We’re friends on fb. And saw some in5d stuff because of how I feel. Then was asked by fb to do a survey on why I looked you up and what was I looking for”.
I asked this person, “What did you tell them when they asked why you looked in5d up and what you were looking for?”
This person’s response: “They said do you mind taking a survey on a search you made this morning. I was of course curious as to what they meant and said ok. They said you looked up Gregg Prescott. Was I looking for a person Or for information? Was it for some reason? Yada yada. Then they said for me to write something and that’s when I said it’s creepy for you to ask.”
What business is it of Facebook’s to harass anyone who follows me?
My In5D Facebook page picked up 400,000 followers in the first 4 years on Facebook, from 2009-13. Since then, only 30,000 from 2013-19. That page should easily have over 1,000,000 followers by now but is being suppressed. I’m sure this is happening to many others in this genre.

Facebook Whistleblower Steps Forward
In a Veritas interview, an ex-Facebook employee (to be referred to in this article as Ms. X) stepped forward to show how Facebook is shadow banning MANY of us.
Ms. X was a Content Review Analyst for the Intellectual Property Department who handled copyright and trademark at Facebook. While at work, she noticed strange occurrences happening at Facebook and decided to report what she found to Veritas.
“I knew something had to be done about it and so, I felt that the best thing to do was to inform the public because they had a right to know.”
Ms. X provided, what she says, are internal Facebook documents, which you’ll see below.
Meet Danny Ben-David. He is a software engineer for Facebook. On his personal page, dannybendavid.com, he states, “I graduated MIT in 2015 with a degree in physics, and am now working at Facebook as a software engineer. I’m part of the problem, I know.”
On the leaked documents provided by Ms. X, Veritas came across a back-end view of what Ben-David calls, “ActionDeboostLiveDistribution”. Ben-David wrote the code and according to Veritas, may have invented the word “Deboost”, which basically is shadow banning under a different name.
Ms. X stated, “Every time I would see this ‘DeboostLiveStream’ kind of code on there, that his name was always next to it.
In5D side note: This is EXACTLY what I’ve experienced. In the past, it was easy to get 100-200 people on a Facebook Live video. Now, it’s usually 50 or less. Here are just a few on MANY of comments I’ve received, confirming this:
On November 19th, I ran an experiment with a friend who has 3,000+ fewer followers. We had out laptops side-by-side and did a live broadcast. She had significantly more “Live” viewers while her video has been seen by more than 3x the amount of people despite having 3,000 fewer followers. (see below)
More and more people continue to tell me that they haven’t seen anything posted on my personal wall since November 7th.
My In5D FB page is like a desert. A few minutes ago, I just had a woman tell me, “I can’t even get on your page, it’s not loading anything.”
When asked what “ActionDeboostLiveDistribution” means, Ms. X responded, “I can’t speak to exactly what the actions were. What is says, ‘reduce live distribution’… I’m not a programmer, but I can read English just fine. When I see ‘reduce live distribution’, it means preventing the distribution of this live feed.”
“With these DeboostLiveStream things, there was no warning sent to the user. These were actions being taken without the user’s knowing.”
Ms. X added that she only saw the term deboost ONLY on conservative pages. When she looked at several liberal pages, none of them were deboosted.’
Seiji Yamamoto has been a data science manager for Facebook since 2015. His resume includes working on “Informed Sharing Ranking Demotion” and “News Feed Reduction Strategy”. These are yet more ways that Facebook is suppressing the voices of many of us.
In the above photo, Yamamoto references a HuffPo article on the alt-right movement, which shows political bias on behalf of Facebook by not doing the same to the radical left.
One has to ask, “What is the perimeter of hate speech?”
According to Ms. X, she said it’s “things that aren’t exactly hate speech, but that might offend somebody. Anything that is perceived as hateful, even though no court would define it as hate speech.

Coordinate Trolling
Seiji Yamamoto and Eduardo Arino de la Rubia authored a troll report that Ms. X spoke about:
“I came across a document called “Coordinated Trolling” on Facebook and it was this troll report where they wanted to address the problem of trolls on the platform and what they could do to combat it. ”
Ms. X stated that the Troll Report was clearly aimed at the right wing meme culture.
“Some of the words that appeared on there… using words like SJW and MSM.”
In5D side note: You can definitely tell when the “ActionDeboostLiveDistribution” occurs on your videos. Look at the numbers below:
Without a doubt, Facebook has “Deboosted” my reach both on my personal page and on my In5D FB page.
Ms. X stated, “It’s based largely around this meme culture. So now you’re (FB) is saying what jokes you are and aren’t allowed to make… what kind of edgy comment? As long as it’s not blatantly hateful, I don’t see where Facebook has the right to be the arbiter.”
Ms. X stated that the meme culture, according to FB, is what won the election for Donald Trump.
We have arrived at a period in time where censorship overrides freedom of speech. All of us would agree that hate speech is inappropriate, but when it comes down to banning and suppressing the truths that others may not want to hear, opposing political views or anyone who has a voice that opposes the official narrative, then we have officially arrived in an Orwellian society.
As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, “They’re Literally GLITCHING OUT, Right On Schedule With Pluto In Capricorn,” Pluto is in Capricorn from 2008 until 2023. Pluto is known as the “Destroyer” and will expose everything that is not in humnity’s best interests, including money, government, and religion. The truth vibration is incredibly strong during this period, so expect to see more “glitching out” while even more truths come to the surface.
Everything will be exposed.
Sending you all infinite LOVE and Light!
