I truly hope they fail, but I think all of us need to prepare for a scenario in which they win.

"Note that Google, which recently fired an employee for expressing his counter-progressive opinions, thinks this information could be used to "help journalists covering hate news leverage this data in their reporting." What do they mean by "leverage this data"? They don't say, but an email sent to several conservative writers by a ProPublica reporter may give us some indication. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer along with some others received this from ProPublica "reporter" Lauren Kirchner:

Quote:

I am a reporter at ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative newsroom in New York. I am contacting you to let you know that we are including your website in a list of sites that have been designated as hate or extremist by the American Defamation League or the Southern Poverty Law Center. We have identified all the tech platforms that are supporting websites on the ADL and SPLC lists.

We would like to ask you a few questions:
1) Do you disagree with the designation of your website as hate or extremist? Why?
2) We identified several tech companies on your website: PayPal, Amazon, Newsmax, and Revcontent. Can you confirm that you receive funds from your relationship with those tech companies? How would the loss of those funds affect your operations, and how would you be able to replace them?
3) Have you been shut down by other tech companies for being an alleged hate or extremist web site? Which companies?
4) Many people opposed to sites like yours are currently pressuring tech companies to cease their relationships with them what is your view of this campaign? Why?

In other words, nice website you've got there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

To summarize: Liberal ProPublica, working with the smear merchants at SPLC powered by Google sent a reporter out to issue not so veiled threats against conservative websites. It's blatantly obvious that the goal here is to tank websites they disagree with by mounting a campaign to pressure their advertisers and tech providers to drop them as clients. This comes on the heels of Google, GoDaddy, CloudFlare, Apple, and others singling out alt-right sites for destruction in the wake of the Charlottesville riots.

That's actually a good suggestion, one I implemented a long time ago.

Here's a seven year old article from Huffpo (your side of the aisle) before Google became a trusted co-conspirator of the worldwide leftist movement.

Your pigeonholed yourself with your choice of screen name.

As far as voting for more republicans than me, unless you're a civil war veteran for the union army, not a chance.

However, there is a very serious underlying question here: how do the American people function in a tech dependent society where a small number of corporate monopolies have conspired to exclude all non-leftist compliant thought from the public sphere?

If you want an example of google controlling search results search "American inventors" and look at the results. Then search "inventors Americanos" (the Spanish version) and look at those results. You get a substantially different set of results.

Maybe its a tie. I started in 82 and haven't voted for a Democrat above the local level. So stop pretending you know my side. I guess your screen name is a pledge of allegiance to a phone or computer.

Google is owned by a liberal. If you don't want to use it don't. But there isn't a huge conspiracy to shut down alt right sites.

Yes and they are doing so on Youtube by targeting conservative channels. Pretty disgusting. Their benchmarks for equality are the Southern Poverty Law Center, a hard liberal organization. They're essentially trying to take over the Internet and turn it into a liberal safe space where any dissenting opinion is squashed.

Both are out to manipulate the population of this country to achieve their what is best for them but not for the average American. Both have, sadly, been successful. I think we can all agree on that.

Google Issues Ultimatum to Conservative Website: Remove 'Hateful' Article or Lose Ad Revenue
Link to Article...

On Tuesday evening, Google sent a conservative website an ultimatum: remove one of your articles, or lose the ability to make ad revenue on your website. The website was strong-armed into removing the content, and then warned that the page was "just an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of this website."

"Yesterday morning, we received a very bizarre letter from Google issuing us an ultimatum," Shane Trejo, media relations director of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Michigan, wrote on The Liberty Conservative. "Either we were to remove a particular article or see all of our ad revenues choked off in an instant. This is the newest method that Big Brother is using to enforce thought control."

The ultimatum came in the form of an email from Google's ad placement service AdSense. The email specifically listed an article on The Liberty Conservative's site, stating that the article violated AdSense's policies.

"As stated in our program policies, Google ads may not be placed on pages that contain content that: Threatens or advocates harm on oneself or others; Harasses, intimidates or bullies an individual or group of individuals; Incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization," the email stated.

The email warned The Liberty Conservative that it must either remove ads from that page, or "modify or remove the violating content to meet our AdSense policies."

"Please be aware that if additional violations are accrued, ad serving may be disabled to the website listed above," the AdSense email warned. "Please be aware that the URL above is just an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of this website or other sites that you own."

So this only became a problem when it affected conservative sites?

Has it affected leftist sites? What's the comparison by the numbers?

Google uses the SPLC as a source for removing content and sites. The SPLC is nothing more than leftist propaganda who labeled Ben Carson a purveyor of hate. It's a leftist circle jerk aimed at silencing Christians, patriots and capitalists.

Yes, leftist sites have been targetted, starting years ago.

SPLC started off doing the right thing and then got drunk with power. I know people a lot lower profile than Dr. Carson who got popped.

Before the advent of more balanced sources like Fox News, all there was to quote were largely leftist sources. It's made libertarians and conservatives intellectually capable of using all data.
