9. Most of the 2020 network has been taken offline or has stopped posting links to Conservative Brief But presented with reporting on this new, more powerful, network Facebook declined to comment What changed? https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI — PolitiTweet.org

8. In September 2020, I uncovered evidence that Conservative Brief was using the exact same scheme to pay Facebook pages to boost their traffic. Facebook recognized the issue and said they were engaging in "enforcement action" https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI — PolitiTweet.org

7. The fact that all of these Facebook pages use UTM codes when posting Conservative Brief links strongly suggests that Conservative Brief is paying for traffic. That would explicitly violate Facebook rules. https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI — PolitiTweet.org

6. The UTM code posted by D'Souza allows Conservative Brief to track exactly how much traffic D'Souza is sending their way via Facebook But provides no info to D'Souza Absent a relationship between D'Souza and Conservative Brief there is no reason to use a UTM code — PolitiTweet.org

5. These pages post many articles from the Conservative Brief every single day. Just yesterday, D'Souza published a dozen links. Why? There is a clue in URLs Each link posted by D'Souza (and the others) includes a unique UTM code For D'Souza its DJD https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI https://t.co/I5nsrGGBLt — PolitiTweet.org

4. How does it work? Each time Conservative Brief publishes an article it is posted by a network of conservative Facebook pages w/large audiences This includes Facebook pages by folks like Dinesh D'Souza (2.7M), Brigitte Gabriel (1M), & CJ Pearson (663K) https://t.co/i2U4czmAiC https://t.co/JyS7E6TH8C — PolitiTweet.org

3. Conservative Brief's success on Facebook is immense. It is now getting more engagement on Facebook than the New York Times OR the Washington Post -- media outlets with thousands of journalists. Conservative Brief doesn't even have a Facebook page! https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI https://t.co/xcQwnZSmZa — PolitiTweet.org

2. Facebook has deemphasized the distribution of news. They've even renamed NewsFeed to Feed. Nearly all publishers have seen engagement decrease substantially. Not Conservative Brief. Its engagement per article is up 10x since Feb 2021 https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI https://t.co/B0BsU72NjW — PolitiTweet.org

1. In 2022, an obscure far-right website with three employees, Conservative Brief, has become a DOMINANT force on Facebook. I've discovered the (dirty) secret to their success. Follow along if interested. https://t.co/k7VAGIETlI — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not a political genius but it seems like the new plan by @SenRickScott, who chairs the @NRSC, to RAISE TAXES ON HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, including the very poorest Americans, is a political liability It's in black and white. https://t.co/QI6X9RO2no — PolitiTweet.org

@josephbharding The bill itself, however, is still scheduled for a vote in the Florida house today. And it is still very bad. Should the bill become law, younger students with same-sex parents could be prohibited from discussing their family in class. Details: https://t.co/NHyk3WfvLI — PolitiTweet.org
