James O'Keefe Facebook Sting, Part II: Not Only Are Anti-Kamala Posts Demoted and "Redlisted," But Pro-Trump Posts Are Too

Before getting to that: You of course remember in 2020 the Regime wanted us all to know that the winner could not be declared election night. They needed time to figure out how many fraudulent votes to introduce into blue cities in red or swing states. So they kept telling us that the person who seemed to be winning would be the loser.

Now Google is getting that Fortification Process going again: They say they'll simply ban any statements about who won the election, including statements from Trump.


Google to block election ads, victory announcements after polls close
Fri Oct 18 2024
MXM Exclusive

Quick Hit:

Google announced it will block U.S. election-related ads after polls close on November 5, aiming to prevent the spread of misinformation about voting and election results.

Key Details:

Google will pause election ads across all its platforms once polls close on Election Day.
The policy is designed to prevent premature claims of victory before official results are confirmed.
Ads on Google Ads, YouTube, and other Google services will be impacted, but public information campaigns will still be allowed.

Diving Deeper:

Google will block all election-related advertisements across its platforms once the polls close on November 5, according to a memo obtained by Axios. The policy, originally introduced during the 2020 election, is intended to curb the spread of misinformation, particularly from candidates or groups prematurely claiming victory before official results are certified.

In a memo sent to its advertising partners, Google cited concerns about the possibility of ongoing vote counting after Election Day. This cautious approach is intended to "limit the potential for confusion" as results are finalized. Ads affected by the policy include those related to federal, state, and local elections in the U.S., as well as ballot measures and political initiatives.

Platforms impacted by the pause include Google Ads, YouTube, DV360, and Google's Ad Exchange. While election ads will be paused, public service campaigns run by government agencies responsible for election processes, such as state secretaries of state, will still be allowed.

This move follows similar efforts by other tech giants to avoid a repeat of the disinformation challenges that arose during the 2020 election. Meta, for example, will block new political and social issue ads during the final week of the U.S. election campaign, though it hasn't announced a post-election ad pause like Google.

And speaking of Meta: They're banning anyone making pro-Trump statements.

BREAKING: Second Round of Meta Engineers Reveal Censorship Practices: "Pro-Trump" Posts "Go Just Up to Another Team to Take It Down"

"Usually the disinformation we saw was pro-Trump... We'll investigate, and then it goes just up to another team to take it [the post] down," admits Matthew Fowler (@mattsfowler), a Software Engineering Manager at @Meta, during an undercover date with an O'Keefe Media Group journalist. Fowler emphasized that Meta's investigations often rely on mainstream media for verification, stating, "The news is going to do their job, and then based on what the outlets say... you have to trust that."

Of course! The media never lie!

Plamen Dzhelepov (@PlamenDzhelepov), a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, agreed, "Meta has the right to suppress anything," acknowledging the company's political bias by noting, "they're biased if they do that against the Republicans." Dzhelepov detailed Meta's censorship capabilities, confirming they target "crazy conspiracy right-wing people," actively demoting their opinions.

Michael Zoorob (@MichaelZoorob), a Data Scientist at Meta, described the fact-checking process, stating, "the fundamental problem is that... the vast majority of what fact-checkers label as false is shared by conservatives," admitting that any policy demoting content labeled false by fact-checkers disproportionately affects conservatives.

When addressing misinformation, Dzhelepov explained Meta's approach: "it's either censored or it says a [community note] thing, where it says, 'this is disinformation, it's probably fake' under the post," adding that Meta "actually suppresses certain voices." Zoorob also recalled how Meta had downranked the Hunter Biden laptop story upon the FBI's warning, stating, "We just downranked it," making the post less visible in users' feeds."

On the other side: Elon Musk delivered an hour-long speech ripping woke authoritarianism.

They conveniently omitted Trump-Vance from the voter information guide.

77 There was a brief period, maybe 5 years? Google Search, and search engines generally, were a miracle for read-aholics like myself.

I never stored links to webpages, I just punched the relevant search words and the same pages would pop up. Really obscure stuff, common stuff, didn't matter. Most relevant.

I'm not sure when it went bad, around the turn of the century I suppose. Somewhere in there. All of a sudden it seemed like, those web pages that would pop on the first page no longer appeared. I had to dig in a couple pages. Of course what they did, instead of the "proprietary" metrics of what should be displayed on page 1 they went to a pay model. You can buy the front page.

This horked searches pretty good, but I could still barely get the obscure stuff I was drilling down for.

As time went by, by about 2010 easily, it was just useless, page after page of somebody trying to sell me a bunny with a pancake on its head. Then, during the next 10 years, the search results ACTIVELY removed or would not display relevant links. They are scrubbing or preventing users from finding the info you are looking for, you have to know where to go specifically.

111 They were telling kids straight up in High School that the entire world would run out of oil by 1990 in the 1970s and 1980s. Straight up, there would be no oil. I had a teacher call us "Bougeois" or something like that in High School, we would get an anti Reagan speech about every other day. I should have broke her jaw, looking back. I was too young to understand the Limousine Liberals and what a clear and present danger they represented.

The entire media apparatus was against Reagan then, too. Popular culture is a powerful thing. The school teachers did their thing to advance the leftist line - "anti war" and "anti nuke" generally set the stage for the next manufactured outrage crisis. It's all crystal clear now, if far too late to do anything about.

Here is Eric Swalwell in the summer of 2020, before the Hunter laptop story broke, checking in with top execs from Facebook, Twitter, and Google to make sure they were working with the FBI and were ready to stop "foreign interference" before the election.

The FBI knew the laptop was real. Zuckerberg already testified that the FBI told him be on the look out for a dump of info and to assume it was Russian disinformation. He testified to that Kara.

“Absolute Nonsense” — Kara Swisher argues with Scott Jennings that there is “no proof” of tech/gov collusion to suppress the Hunter Laptop story in 2020.

Holy Moly. The gaslighting here is insane.

“The issue is, is you think Twitter is the government, you think Twitter is running things and there is not this wide collusion."

"But JD Vance knows that because he's worked in tech, he knows there are there is no such thing as Big Tech. There are big tech companies. They do not collude on this."

This laughable argument is designed to combat the obvious truth that the institutional suppression of the Laptop story was egregious, coordinated election interference.

Swear words carry down through centuries. "Fuck," for instance, originated from very old German, and carried down through Dutch, and old English, all the way through modern English, where little old YD can say "fuck you and the horse you rode in on," and everyone knows what it means.

Swearing is ancient magic. Slang is just for nerds.

163 OH Senate:

Ras just dropped a poll showing Moreno (R) +1 over Brown (D-inc).

This is the first poll EVER to show Brown losing to Moreno. More importantly, if you look at the last 10 polls at RNC (9 show Brown ahead), the momentum in this race is in Moreno's direction.

I don't think Brown can git 'er done-- not with Trump carrying OH by 7 points or so.

About 10 days ago, I'd posted that I thought all the contested Senate seats would stay the same, except for WV & MT. Now I would amend that to "except for WV, MT & OH."

Par for the course for Kamala Harris. While in CA, she instructed her office to deny parole to non-violent offenders who were eligible for release. She and her office argued that they are cheap labor and releasing them would interfere with using them for such. This is no different than running work camps.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice

Close, but no cigar. The Russian byname for Ivan IV is "grozny."

The Russian word for thunder is "grom," from which "pogrom'" ("like thunder") is derived.

It is possible, I guess, that the two words are etymologically related. But their modern meanings are distinct.

246 Is it too much to ask for our politicians to denounce those who are threatening citizens for displaying campaign signs in their yard?

Aren't they supposed to distance themselves from this? "Your support of Trump comes at a price"

That sounds lovely, doesn't it? Has any national Democrat been asked about this latest novel style of civic engagement and civility?

Thought of this myself, had to DDG what the actual provision was that acted as a shield for companies hosting 3rd-party content, much like FaceBook.

They're got a shield of immunity for what others post. But with them 'tipping' the scales again by leaning their whole corporate body against it, they do serious damage to the shield from the opposite side.

They burned down the forest to get their devil. And, when the wind turns, what tree can they then hide behind?
