Social media giant Facebook has apologized to conservative non-profit PragerU for banning multiple videos on the group’s Facebook page for what it called “hate speech.”

The subsequent shadow-banning of the group’s page resulted in a 99.9999% drop in traffic.

Breitbart reports the censorship of PragerU, including two videos, caused a nearly 100 percent drop in engagement.

Facebook has now apologized to PragerU, stating that the removal of videos was an error and “apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

PragerU fired back in a video posted on Facebook that questioned whether or not the removal was, in fact, a “mistake,” and called it a “deliberate censorship of conservative ideas.”
