Muh Private Monopolistic Overlords: Google Schemed To Block Breitbart from Making Money on Ads
"THE GOOD CENSOR" An internal company briefing produced by Google and leaked exclusively to Breitbart News argues that due to a variety of factors, including the election of President Trump, the "American tradition" of free speech on the internet is no longer viable. Despite leaked video footage showing top executives declaring their intention to ensure that the rise of Trump and the populist movement is just a “blip” in history, Google has repeatedly denied that the political bias of its employees filter into its products. But the 85-page briefing, titled "The Good Censor," admits that Google and other tech platforms now "control the majority of online conversations" and have undertaken a "shift towards censorship" in response to unwelcome political events around the world. ... Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position. The briefing labels the ideal of unfettered free speech on the internet a "utopian narrative" that has been "undermined" by recent global events as well as "bad behavior" on the part of users. It can be read in full below. It acknowledges that major tech platforms, including Google, Facebook and Twitter initially promised free speech to consumers. "This free speech ideal was instilled in the DNA of the Silicon Valley startups that now control the majority of our online conversations," says the document. The briefing argues that Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are caught between two incompatible positions, the "unmediated marketplace of ideas" vs. "well-ordered spaces for safety and civility." The first approach is described as a product of the "American tradition" which "prioritizes free speech for democracy, not civility." The second is described as a product of the "European tradition," which "favors dignity over liberty and civility over freedom." The briefing claims that all tech platforms are now moving toward the European tradition. The briefing associates Google’s new role as the guarantor of "civility" with the categories of "editor" and "publisher." This is significant, given that Google, YouTube, and other tech giants publicly claim they are not publishers but rather neutral platforms-- a categorization that grants them special legal immunities under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Elsewhere in the document, Google admits that Section 230 was designed to ensure they can remain neutral platforms for free expression.More excerpts from The Good Censor, more admissions that Google and other tech companies have become full-on media companies making peddling their own editorial line and should not have special immunity that other media companies do not, and a link to the document itself at the link. Gee, I wonder why so few "conservative" sites are discussing this. I'm sure Pierre Omidyar's most recent website The Bulwark will have a post on this. AEI's blog, too. And CEI. I really can't recommend The Creepy Line enough. It's free on Amazon Prime, or a couple of bucks to rent on Amazon if you don't have prime. If you want a free preview, the psychologist who proved the power of Google's search-function manipulation talked to The Federalist yesterday or the day before. I haven't listened yet so I don't know if he gets into the vote manipulation study or just Google's creepy surveillance empire.

The second is described as a product of the "European tradition," which "favors dignity over liberty and civility over freedom."
Dignity. Always "dignity" and "civility."
Which are only codewords for "goddammit, you fucking deplorables, get in that boxcar!"
I wish I had Trump's ear. These bastards and their enablers need to be broken up, destroyed and wiped out of existence.

You know, the conservative media is its own worst enemy. I heard Chris Plante talking about TWS and how they were a conservative magazine that decided to uniquely go Never Trump.
Except I don't think there is much conservative media that ISN'T anti-Trump.
But they also play the libs game, always reacting to them. Oh, look, Sports Il used a Blasey-Ford video....
Yeah, they made you look, didn't they? Jeez. When is the last time you cared about an SI Courage award or whatever that thing is?
Be like Schlichter and Bongino - OWN the libs. Don't just point fingers andd say hey lookee there.

There are 4 major pillars to having a Free Society IMO.
Free Speech, which Google is a direct threat to.
Property Rights, which have been destroyed by Property Taxes and the EPA.
Mobility, so you can go where you wish, which the Left is trying to limit (make us all go to public transportation).
Armed, which, again, the Left is trying to get rid of.

They also serve as major gatekeepers, of course. If they don't like what you say, they won't let you post it. If they do, they'll deindex and demonetize it. Ultimate stiflers.
They also strangle innovation in many ways. A shocking amount of venture capital and startup funding go to the big tech companies for their infrastructure. A lot of the VC and startup business is also a money laundry for big tech, and allows them to pull the plug on anyone they don't like.
None of this matters, though. They are also either a monopoly or an oligopoly depending on context, and the oligopoly openly colludes in restraint of trade. Time for FTC to break these guys up.
And yes, I know that something like this has never been done before - it isn't like breaking up a manufacturer or other typical businesses - but we need to figure out how it's done. If that means that evildoers get crushed in the process of figuring it out, then that is a risk I am willing to take.

Brave is a browser (like Chrome or Firefox), not a search engine (like Google or Bing). For search, I usually use DuckDuckGo. They have a couple of backends (including Google), but they anonymize and do their own ranking and sorting from various inputs. It works reasonably well for most things in my experience. For purely technical searching, Google is still superior in my opinion.

Basically what we have now is an mirror-house inversion of the fairness doctrine.
Where competing ideas and voices don't get equal time but an un-equal time based on political considerations.
This situation is completely and utterly intolerable.

Not that lying your a** off to Congress is an issue, or something to be prosecuted - unless you're the president's former personal fix-it lawyer, and the topic is completely inconsequential.

Again, I have no problem in theory with Google doing this at all.
BUT... Google is effectively a monopoly and as such is the gate keeper of the vast percentage of information as well as access to information.
Therefore, since contrary to the bullshit spewed by it and their allies in the Democrat-Leftist movement, they are actively and aggressively biased against the enemies/opponents of that movement, it must be broken up. I do not trust regulation as a utility since the government itself is populated with 99.999% fellow travelers of the Left.
Kill Google.

"The first approach is described as a product of the "American tradition" which "prioritizes free speech for democracy, not civility." The second is described as a product of the "European tradition," which "favors dignity over liberty and civility over freedom." The briefing claims that all tech platforms are now moving toward the European tradition."
Not surprisingly, our social networks all choose the un-American path.

so I guess they never actually understood Free Speech Law right.
Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

"Robber barons" were in many cases very badly misnamed. More importantly, unlike almost all of today's instant-rich authoritarian dweebs, they built and created, they made modern life possible.
Try modern life without a smart phone.
Now try modern life without fossil fuels, or petroleum in particular.
Hmmm, one is quite adequate, fantastic even. The other is crap.

What's the most efficient way to destroy those who are in danger, if that is your aim? Cut the lines of communication by which they can be warned of that danger. That's what this is about. Google simply found itself in the happy place where it can do this, it's not about market share with them.

What bothers me the most with what these tech monsters are doing is this (not totally O/T but bear with me for a moment):
Abortion was ruled upon mostly based on the right to privacy. So how come we don't have a right to privacy when it comes to the information that we generate? I never approved of companies using my information for profit, especially when I'm not compensated in any way. To me, that's the rough equivalent of me doing business in another company's name, which is illegal.
All of this harvesting of everyone's personal data should've been "opt-in" from day one. And if we had a government that truly protected our rights, it would've been.

Saw this in the military.
There was an international incident where a couple of Officers were clearly in the wrong... but both had connections.
Case got shot up to Inspector General, where it languished for YEARS. But it allowed them to answer every question with, its under investigation by the IG.
Then of course, nothing was ever found... years later it had been forgotten, and the Officers Absolved because, well, they were investigated.

Yes, firearms you already own can be shipped/return direct to FFLs or manufacturers for repairs and mods. Depends on state, handgun vs. long gun, maybe?

Yep. It's a "What if?" series that focuses on what might have evolved if the US had stuck with lever guns after the Late Unpleasantness. Their thesis seems to be that more modern small unit tactics might have been practical. Needless to say, the Indian Wars would have been a short bloodbath instead of a decade or so of simmering guerilla warfare.

It's coming to where they will silence anyone who reports or tries to communicate that, say, the Strasbourg shooter shouted "allahu akbar". They'll do this until people are outnumbered and can no longer do anything about the situation except die submissively. They're literally trying to kill us through suppression of information.
It's not for us to wonder why a tech company would have such a (gratuitously) passionate desire to do this. We must just admit to ourselves that it is so and do something about it.

Probably just Apple's iMessages would be my guess? A regular text message on an apple phone would still probably get taxed. But Apple to Apple products using the iMessages operate a bit differently I believe.

It's a bit more complex than that. Camille Paglia argues persuasively that the doctrinaire men hating harpies that coopted feminism hate porn because it honestly portrays the dark side which their blue nosed comic book construct worldview pretends doesn't exist. She doesn't shy from acknowledging some of the wreckage that goes hand in gland with it but refuses to engage in revisionist history and pretend it hasn't always existed on the margins of western society.

I THINK what Trump is doing is building a public case for the actions he knows he needs to take.
Once the public agrees that there's a problem (the press, the tech giants), then his actions will be more popular, more persuasive.
Just a guess. Or a sunny ray of optimism to blow up various backsides

Even if you are part of the cult that unregulated big business is the apex of conservatism, can you at least see the merit in the idea that maybe giving a little on this and allowing some regulation against the social marxist overlords that have decided to get heavily involved in our political system would be a net benefit in other ways to a more free economy?
I mean is it worth having a few more more business rules that effect like 5 companies in order to have a more open political dialogue where conservatives can actually use their 1st Amendment rights in the United States?
Or for some conservative whores (beyond those actually being paid Hushola money), is this all about their FAANG stocks not taking a hit from government regulation?

But "being right" doesn't win us the war. What we were right about is that we are controlled, lock stock and barrel, by totalitarian overlords who view themselves a beneficent nanny-state gods, and this have no shame and no remorse for their actions.
They just admitted that were there to be a free discussion, a fair exchange of ideas in society, that the Left would Lose the Argument. So the only way for them to Win the game - -which they fully intend to do -- is the changes the rules of the game entirely, by simply muzzling their opponents, and not allowing them to speak at all.
This is it. This is our hill to die on.

Misspoke. Meant Feds should allow the states to regulate Social media
Is related news, California is about to start taxing users for text messages. I have no reason to believe that the California legislature will protect end users from Social Media providers. Hell, the California legislature is in bed with Social Media; Google will gladly help Sacramento in return for protection.
I'm afraid looking to government for help is a wasted effort.

I was just reading a prediction over at 'your future your life' dot ru that said, "The next two years in the US will consist of light to moderate ground fire, intermittent vehicle born improvised explosive devices, and overheated political rhetoric.
Urban dwellers should expect roving gangs of looters, especially in the suburbs. Suburban residents are encouraged to evacuate to rural encampments where you will be training in small arms and basic military tactics. After successful completion of basic re-education you will then be led by military veterans of Baghdad and Kandahar who know how these thing work; you will take back your suburbs from the mobs and re-establish an American way of life.
Peace be with you; remain blessed.

They want to shoot the Kurdish SDF in Syria, which they say is really the PKK.
We say, "hey don't do that, we might have personnel on the ground there. Can't really say for sure".
Shooting twixt NATO members may start in two days.

The biggest threat from Google isnt just their reach, its the systemic lack oversight. Email, Drive, chat messages, search history - think of these in the hands of moonbats. Then consider the implications of being able to dick with not just search results, but also youtube search, maps, ads, etc.

I'm afraid looking to government for help is a wasted effort.
Since our government appears to be populated with imbeciles, it might be good to present this issue in a language even they can understand, maybe.
We all have the right to free speech. If there's anything you don't like on that Intarwebz thingy, nobody's forcing you to read or hear it: you have the right to block them, and only them. You don't have the right to block me when I haven't said or done anything. I can say whatever I like just as you can. Turn it around on them, maybe they'll get the argument then.
Make it individualistic, since that's what their big deal is all about. Recall all those videos shot on kollidge campii where the students were asked if they'd give up a few of their GPA points to other students? All of them said, "Um, no. That's not fair to me. I studied hard to get my grade."

It is even dumber than that. If this game is like 90 percent of all wargames, you can play as the Taliban and kill US troops if you can. The "enemy" depends on the side you select.
Just like in Civil War games you can play as the Union and break the rebellion, or as the Rebs and try and succeed at it.

I read through the presentation. I found it to be relatively reasonable considering how unbelievably left wing the corporate culture is at Google. It's true they talk out of both sides of their mouths about whether they are publishers or platforms and there's no question they're leaning hard on conservative content creators (we all know what they mean by "civility").
If you assume for a second that the management team wants to continue as a profitable corporation, free of regulation (not a nest of left wing loons) this could be "life threatening" for them and they need to be looking at it seriously.
Google (Facebook, Twitter) have a big problem on their hands going forward, to wit: being the "moral arbiters" of the internet. No way in hades their going to be able to please everyone. I don't think they ever considered this problem as they were becoming internet leviathans. Their big mistake was casting their lot with one side of the political spectrum over the other in the first place. The left thinks they own them (they may be right), and the right increasingly distrusts them (with good reason).
They are having major problems with the EU lately regarding privacy, the "right to be forgotten", news snippets in search results etc. with the potential for huge fines being levied. The last thing they want is for the US govt. to start sniffing around with regulation (not sure we really want that either what with the Dems taking over the house next year). They desperately want to be in China (that's where the growth is) but they know that's a stink bug for them to even mention and they know they'd be making a deal with the devil.
In my humble opinion, like minded people don't need any of these well known tech giants to get heard. Word has a way of getting around the internet whether they like it or not. The real threat to freedom is when the CDNs and ISPs like Cloudflare, can effectively "dissappear" websites from the internet (see GAB) and companies like Visa, Master Card, Patreon refusing to allow monetary exchange because of "unpalatable" opinions.

This is where their 'rules' on trans, guns, etc. are leading. It will be like free speech on universities - non-existent. If you don't think kids should start transitioning before they can tie their shoes, you'll be permanently banned. They can't defend their positions, so they're just going to eliminate any opposing voices and declare victory. They've done it in education, most of the media, and entertainment. And I don't see anything stopping them.

Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position.
Internal research shows that this censorship is being performed. That it is not an official company position does not in any way change the fact that it is being performed.
I really cannot give a rat's a$$ what the official company position is, if the company conduct is persistently different than the position. But, then, I'm conservative enough to regard results, rather than intents, as the true measure.
