Confirmed: "Disinformation" Groups Are Creating Lists of "Reprehensible" Sites Which Advertisers Then Use to Blacklist Conservative Sites, Starving Them of Revenue
And the Government Is Funding This

A Basket of Deplorable Websites.

Gabe Kaminsky of the Washington Examiner:


EXCLUSIVE -- Well-funded "disinformation" tracking groups are part of a stealth operation blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media, likely costing the news companies large sums in advertising dollars, a Washington Examiner investigation found.

Major ad companies are increasingly seeking guidance from purportedly "nonpartisan" groups claiming to be detecting and fighting online "disinformation." These same "disinformation" monitors are compiling secret website blacklists and feeding them to ad companies, with the aim of defunding and shutting down disfavored speech, according to sources familiar with the situation, public memos, and emails obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Brands, which have been seeking to promote products online through multiple websites to expand their digital footprint, are turning to corporate digital ad companies keyed into global markets. In turn, some of these companies are contracting "disinformation" trackers to obtain private information about which websites they should purportedly "defund."

The Global Disinformation Index, a British group with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups sharing similar board members, is one entity shaping the ad world behind the scenes. GDI's CEO is Clare Melford, former senior vice president for MTV Networks, and its executive director is Daniel Rogers, a tech advisory board member for Human Rights First, a left-leaning nonprofit group that says disinformation fuels "violent extremism and public health crises."

"It's devastating," Mike Benz, the State Department's ex-deputy assistant for internal communications and information policy, told the Washington Examiner. "The implementation of ad revenue crushing sentinels like Newsguard, Global Disinformation Index, and the like has completely crippled the potential of alternative news sources to compete on an even economic playing field with approved media outlets like CNN and the New York Times."

GDI's mission is to "remove the financial incentive" to create "disinformation," and its "core output" is a secretive "dynamic exclusion list" that rates news outlets based on their alleged disinformation "risk" factor, according to its website. There are at least 2,000 websites on this exclusion list, which has "had a significant impact on the advertising revenue that has gone to those sites," Melford said on a March 2022 podcast episode hosted by the Safety Tech Innovation Network, a British government-backed group.

Sounds like Hamilton68 all over again.

"Trust us! We have an algorithm!"

Major online advertisers "subscribe" to these "services," who provide them with a pseudoplausible justification for engaging in leftwing censorship.

...

One influential ad company that has subscribed to GDI's exclusion list to defund outlets purportedly spreading disinformation is Xandr, which Microsoft bought from AT&T in 2021 for $1 billion, according to emails leaked to the Washington Examiner.

Xandr informed companies in September 2022 that it would begin adopting GDI's exclusion list to punish content that is "morally reprehensible or patently offensive," lacking "redeeming social value," or "could include false or misleading information," emails show.

"To enforce this change, Xandr is partnering with the Global Disinformation Index ('GDI') and will be adopting their exclusion list," Xandr wrote to other companies, linking to an appeal "webform" for publishers to complete if they disagree with their "risk" rating.

Guess which political direction all the "reprehensible" sites lean?


But GDI, which did not reply to several requests for its exclusion list, discloses in reports which outlets it identifies as the "riskiest" and "worst" offenders for peddling disinformation. These 10, which all skew to the right, are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post.

Even opinions can be disinformation -- if those opinions run counter to the left's preferred narrative, like "Transgenderism is awesome for children and inventing and enforcing fake pronouns is oh-so-much-fun!"

GDI's "disinformation" tracking efforts, however, have even resulted in opinions being flagged. The organization alleged in an October 2022 memo that a Washington Examiner commentary article titled "The Left's gender-bending obsession is tiresome and absurd" was "anti-LGBTQ+" disinformation.

...

Topics that have recently spawned "disinformation" allegedly relate to COVID-19, anti-vaccine content, mask protests, abortion, and alleged voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, Melford said. She added that "disinformation narratives" have also taken hold around the idea "that there's a corrupt elite working only for themselves, not serving the will of the common man, and that only a strong man can get rid of the corrupt elite."

Claims about the 2016 election being "stolen by Russia" are never "disinformation," notice.

And also note that the entire idea that there's a Deep State, or a "corrupt elite working only for themselves," is now "disinformation." How convenient for the corrupt elite working only for themselves!

...

The "whole point" of the "disinformation" tracking industry is clearly to destroy "the reach, scalability, market, and even credibility" of conservative news outlets, added Benz, now executive director of Foundation for Freedom Online, a censorship watchdog.

Indeed.

On the flip side, all of the websites that GDI ranks as the "least risky" lean left in their news coverage -- minus the Wall Street Journal. These include NPR, ProPublica, the Associated Press, Insider, the New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed News, and HuffPost, according to a 27-page report.

The outlets purportedly show "minimal bias" and a lack of "sensational language" and have "excelled in disclosing and following their operational policies and practices," said the report. Still, many of these "least" risky outlets, such as Buzzfeed, promoted the Steele dossier, a discredited piece of opposition research that Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign fed to the FBI to link Donald Trump to Russia.

Others, such as HuffPost, have published numerous stories boosting the falsehood that a New York Post story on Hunter Biden's infamous abandoned laptop was "Russian disinformation."

The HuffPost also used to call Trump by a formulaic string of invective -- "racist, sexist, tax-cheating..." etc. -- in every single mention of him. Every. Single. Mention. It was an editorial diktat

But note that HuffPost is said to not traffic in "sensational language"!

It gets worse: The government is using your tax dollars to create an official government-compiled list of Reprehensible Media Which Must be Deplatformed.

This is the second part of Gabe Kaminisky's series on the New Blacklist.

The Department of State has funded a deep-pocketed "disinformation" tracking group that is secretly blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media, likely costing the news organizations vital advertising dollars, the Washington Examiner can confirm.

The money is going to the "Global Disinformation Index" previously discussed.

"Any outfit like that engaged in censorship shouldn't have any contact with the government because they're tainted by association with a group that is doing something fundamentally against American values," Jeffrey Clark, ex-acting head of the Justice Department's Civil Division, told the Washington Examiner. "The government or any private entity shouldn't be involved with this entity that's engaged in conduct that is either legally questionable or at least morally questionable."

...

The first State Department-backed group that has supported GDI is the National Endowment for Democracy, a nonprofit group that receives nearly all of its funding from annual congressional appropriations.

According to financial statements, the NED received over $300 million from the State Department in 2021. Critics have argued that the endowment, which Congress authorized in 1983, is essentially a government grantmaking body despite its legal status as a private entity.

...

The federal government could run into legal trouble depending on the extent to which it's paying or directing GDI to "censor information, pressure publications to censor, or pressure advertisers not to publish, in a way that harms U.S. citizens or companies," Ilya Shapiro, director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, told the Washington Examiner.

But GDI's ties to the government extend far beyond the NED.

GDI has also disclosed taking money from Disinfo Cloud, an unclassified and defunct platform through the State Department's Global Engagement Center. Disinfo Cloud was used between 2018 and 2021 by Congress and over a dozen federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Energy, Treasury, and the FBI , according to the State Department.

Recently I noticed that Reuters is "fact-checking" a Facebook meme of an F-22 with a balloon painted on the side as an "altered image", despite the fact that it's an obvious joke.

None of these organizations would recognize a fact even if it got jammed up their assholes with no lubricant.

It's not fascism if the government controls the opinions of the people by funding nonprofits to enforce the Appropriate Version of Public Thoughts through pressure on private corporations.

See also David French's latest column, "The Conservative Case for the Federal Government Funding Nonprofit Hate Watch Sites."

Short version is, conservatives need to prove they are not racist by permitting the government to control what is publicly and privately said.
Jesus would have wanted it that way, too.

I think you are misreading things.

This started when they went after conservatives back in 2004 pushing back against "the talk" that the proto BLM types were pretending they had to have with their kids so they did not get big game hunted by the cops.

There was a conservative writer who wrote a rebuttal called "My talk" that explained having to explain to his kids why there were no go zones in places like Baltimore IIRC.

He was excommunicated by people like leather jacket Fonzie and Reason IIRC.

The potheads did a LOT of "but I said nothing."

These people are facilitating the invasion of our country to the tune of 5+ million invaders a year. Even if elections were actually cleaned up (never going to happen in the rotting corpse of the republic), they're cheating spectacularly by apportioning seats based on the distribution of invaders.

These people have no intention of playing by any set of rules. Nothing - NOTHING - is going to "fix" this other than arriving at an end state where "we" have a nation that generally doesn't include them. Lawfare, lobbying, voting, running for dog catcher - useless. Partition is obviously the mildest path in that direction but it's not the only one, and I suspect the progs are stupid enough to close it off.

But let's back up a bit here - not only is there no reasonable path to "play by the rules" in combating this - why should we give a shit about that in the first place? These people have made their intentions clear. I see no ethical or moral imperative to play nice.

125 Xandr informed companies in September 2022 that it would begin adopting GDI's exclusion list to punish content that is "morally reprehensible or patently offensive," lacking "redeeming social value," or "could include false or misleading information," emails show.

Basically they set up a Motte & Bailey. where the bailey is "could include false or misleading information".

Emphasis on the "could" as if these list makers are omniscient and infallible telepaths. This is worse than "Minority Report" because judgement is based on a "could".

I reckon that with good attorneys, that this group can be sued for extortion, libel and fraud. Just dutifully citing the White House Press conferences, word for word, would be a shining example of spreading "disinformation". The whole SOTU Show was Disinformation.

Yes, and also a lot of what one could call "credibility laundering." Source A feeds a point of view to B who feeds it to C. Then A cites C as a "credible source" etc. It was exactly what the letter agencies did in Russiagate, and what they're doing now with "hate speech" (via SPLC etc) and with "disinformation."

And who gets to decide "morality" anyway? Against what moral code are they applying this standard? It certainly isn't the Judeo-Christian and definitely not the Muslim code.

You needed that a century ago. Now you need beans, bullets, bandaids, power generation, and spare parts for mechanicals. And the know-how to use them.

No words on paper are going to save you now, and the single worst thing that non-leftists can do is keep pretending that they will.

There is no point chest-beating in public; just get your shit together, and help your people get their shit together, and (quietly) expel leftists you can't save. The day will come soon enough that you realize they've bulldozed straight over your personal red line.

171 WSJ *not* "leaning left", LOL. That's a good one. Trying to remember how long ago it was, saw the WSJ at my dentist's office, decided to do an old-time "find the news in the newspaper" exercise (which we used to do as far back as the 80s - but then it was mostly about finding actual news as opposed to the Nth uninteresting unintelligent rehashing of an actual story, or the "press covering the press" stuff that always cracked us up).

Sure enough, a beaut, right on the front page. Some nurse who volunteered at a humanitarian effort in Africa every year had returned that time with an infectious disease long-rare in America (forget what it was - pertussis?). Waaaay down, on the jump page, probably 20th paragraph - and sort of "mumbled", as most of the occasional disclosures of relevant context and fact are in current "journalism" - came what I was looking for.

(paraphrasing - "the current outbreak of X occurs mostly in border states ......").

Aha. Gee, hmm, what might be happening there? As I recall the article didn't even bother to mention the obvious connection with open border and sudden return of long-rare infectious disease. The WSJ. "News" section.

"Christopher Ellington’s South Side photography studio crashed in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. By March 2021, he was scraping by on a tax preparation and financial advice business when gunshots rang out one day as he was leaving work. Two bullets from a drive-by shooter pierced his head and left him permanently blind.

The creditors were closing in, the rent notices piling up. And then a helping hand came late last summer from Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration: the first of a year’s worth of monthly $500 checks, with no strings attached and almost no questions asked."

So shutting down his business, letting crime run rampant and blinding him is all good for $500 a month. The govt is the good guy here!

Conservative businesses are already being closed. Banks are killing entire industries. Gun shops and even weapon makers, are having their accounts closed, and their ability to get payments online curtailed.

Hell, its easier to get a Pot license, than a License to sell alcohol here.

John Derbyshire. Who got the boot for his trouble.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at February 13, 2023 02:54 PM (YqDXo)

What Derbyshire also got for his trouble - this entry in Wikipedia:

"John Derbyshire is a British-born American far-right political commentator, writer, journalist and computer programmer. He was once known as a paleoconservative, until he was fired from the National Review in 2012 for writing an article for an online magazine that was widely viewed as racist. He now holds a staff position at the white supremacist website VDARE."

=========

At the height of the riots in 2020, he put up a post that said nothing but "Run them over" while linking to to a tweet of people surrounding a car on the road and threatening it.

There was uproar. He took it down. He sort of apologized.

IIRC, he wrote (in the middle of the BLM "Summer of Love") that if his car were surrounded by protesters, he would run them over rather than risk being assaulted by a mob, like Reginald Denny was. Because of that, he risked being hauled in front of his law school review board and getting fired from his tenured position.

Before the fascist times commercials ran thru the full period with roughly one spanish language commercial every hour and on the occasion that I saw Bannon in San Francisco there's be a Mandarin language commercial once per 2 hour show.

334 The only way PA might begin to take back its voting processes is if they're actively insulted by the results for long enough.

335 "Brands, which have been seeking to promote products online through multiple websites to expand their digital footprint, are turning to corporate digital ad companies keyed into global markets. In turn, some of these companies are contracting "disinformation" trackers to obtain private information about which websites they should purportedly "defund."

So if I understand this correctly, not only do they want to take down these sites, but also are claiming that only leftists buy stuff they see on the internet.

376 We need a STRUCTURE that eliminates their censorship, or at least makes it EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE computationally to Blacklist.

May I suggest - with just a reasonable amount of analysis, such that others can point to a better solution if I'm wrong - that the Track Back protocol solves the issue. A blog could run a White List for Blog Track Backs, instead of a blacklist to prevent, and buffer themselves logically and computationally, from blog sites that are "Rougher" (including comment sections).

However, the chains will still work to disseminate information. This will route right around censorship algorithms.
