Google Censoring Conservative Media.

Project Veritas: Leaked Google Documents Prove Tech Giant is Censoring: Rush Limbaugh, Gateway Pundit, Newsbusters, MRCTV, Daily Caller, Michelle Malkin, etc.


In November 2018 The Guardian reported on  group of Google employees who published an open letter calling on their employer to cancel its plans to build a censored search engine for China.   Google employees were very upset that Google’s Project Dragonfly would allow the Chinese government to blacklist certain search terms.

But their blacklist operations were not just in China.

It is obvious that Google, Facebook and Twitter are using their own political blacklists to censor and diminish traffic to prominent conservative publishers and their supporters.

If you search Google for prominent conservative voices including: Mike Cernovich, Joe diGenova, Jack Posobiec or Gateway Pundit you will see hit pieces and biased attacks.

The Gateway Pundit is one of the largest, most accurate and most influential publishers in the country today.  But earlier this year if you searched Google for “Gateway Pundit” the first item that popped up was a hit piece on The Gateway Pundit followed by several more links that smeared our website.

On Wednesday Project Veritas released leaked documents from a Google insider that shows The Gateway Pundit, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Newsbusters, American Thinker, MRCTV, American Lookout, Twitchy, Daily Caller, Natural News, The Rebel Media, LifeNews, BizPac Review, YoungCons and many others are being targeted, censored, blacklisted and silenced by Google.

It doesn’t matter if you are pro-Tump or a Never Trumper– as long as you are conservative you made their list.


Censoring of Hundreds of Conservative sites in an attempt to change the outcome of the US election.

They need to be shut down and thrown in Jail  Angry

It is one of life's ironies
The creative types add Google and Facebook and Twitter tend to be liberals
Liberals are higher in creativeness
Conservatives are higher in conscientious

The irony is that the lefties who have created companies such as Google and other new companies run on machine learning and artificial intelligence are causing the massive displacement of enormous numbers of basic income workers

So it is the left in silicon valley which will eventually see most transport workers call centre operators factory workers
Food processing workers displaced and thrown on the scrapheap by the technologies they have developed

The Gateway Pundit is nothing like what is described here and projectveritas have their own issues with lying and fraudulent reporting.

IF this is true, it's outrageous.  But a reputable source is needed.

So far none has been found.

Actually i googled google censorship. They are pretty upfront about the fact they censor whatever they feel like it but they arent  singling out "conservative" stuff. This is propagated by some extremely partisan right wing nutjobs who think slightly right wing is "left". I suspect they are trying to filter out hate speech but imo they should leave it alone.

Whistleblower Comes Forward After Google Intimidates Him with Police ‘Welllness Check’

Project Veritas’ anonymous Google insider who released internal documents in June has decided to go public in a recent interview after receiving a threatening letter from Google and having the police show up at his home in San Francisco.

“This is an act of atonement, to make my conscience clear,” Zachary Vorhies, a former senior software engineer at Google, said in an interview with Project Veritas.

“I felt that our entire election system was going to be compromised forever by this company that told the American public that it was not going to do any evil.”

After his anonymous interview with Project Veritas in June, Google sent Vorhies a letter that said it knew what he had done. The letter made a series of demands, including that he hand over his laptop that contained internal documents he had saved over his time working at the company.

Although Vorhies answered Google’s questions honestly, he sent the documents to the Department of Justice Antitrust Division.

“I had been collecting the documents for over a year. And the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that they were going to not only tamper with elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States,” Vorhies said.

“They were intending to sculpt the information landscape so that they could create their own version of what was objectively true.”

After a Twitter user outed Vorhies as the anonymous leaker in June, attorneys told him Google would try to ruin his life. So he created a “deadman’s switch” to release all of the documents to the public in case something happened to him.

These concerns may have been justified, as the police were sent to find Vorhies, and San Francisco authorities confirmed to Project Veritas that they had been asked to make a “mental health call.”

“Google decided to do a ‘wellness check’ and from what I’ve understood from other attorneys is that they are trying to establish that I have some kind of mental problem to make their case easier,” Vorhies said. “This is a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company.”

Because of Google’s reaction, Vorhies decided to go public and release the 950 pages of insider documents to get the target off of his back. All of these documents were available to full-time employees, he said.

“When they see the documents themselves, they’re going to be shocked, they’re going to be terrified, and they’re going to be like, ‘How can Google so blatantly lie to the American public and lie to Congress when there is a pile of evidence that what they’re saying is untrue,'” Vorhies said.

One of those documents was a blacklist for Google Now, a feature on the Google app that has now been merged with the regular Google feed, which includes websites like Conservative Tribune, a section of The Western Journal, The Gateway Pundit, NewsBusters and many others.

According to Vorhies, this is just one of many blacklists.

“If Google wants to have political bias and they want to say they have political bias, that is their right as a company,” he said.

“But for them to go under oath and say these blacklists do not exist … is hypocritical at the least and perjury at the worse.”

This document, as well as the other leaked blacklists, is important because, in his December 2018 testimony in front of Congress, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “We don’t manually intervene any particular search. Providing users with access to high quality information is sacrosanct.”

Congress is currently investigating Google on antitrust issues. It remains to be seen whether Pichai or any of Google’s representatives lied to Congress.

The Western Journal has reached out to Google for comment but has not yet received a response. We will update this article if and when we do.

The Liberal threats and intimidation continues - a recent “welfare check” by police ended up with a man being shot dead - Maybe Google was hoping for this to happen.  Undecided

James Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired in August after posting a memo to an internal Google message board arguing that women may not be equally represented in tech because they are biologically less capable of engineering, has filed a class action lawsuit against the company in Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California.

His claims: that Google unfairly discriminates against white men whose political views are unpopular with its executives.

Damore is joined in the 161-page suit by another former Google engineer named David Gudeman, who spent three years with Google working on a query engine. According to Gudeman’s LinkedIn profile, he left the company in December 2016 and has been self-employed since.

The lawsuit, filed by Dhillon Law Group, says it aims to represent all employees of Google who’ve been discriminated against due to their “perceived conservative political views by Google,” due to “their male gender by Google” and “due to their Caucasian race by Google.”

More specifically, it accuses Google of singling out, mistreating and systematically punishing and terminating employees who “expressed views deviating from the majority view at Google on political subjects raised in the workplace and relevant to Google’s employment policies and its business, such as ‘diversity’ hiring policies, ‘bias sensitivity’ or ‘social justice’…”

Damore isn’t holding back any punches here. According to his filing, Google employs “illegal hiring quotas to fill its desired percentages of women and favored minority candidates, and openly shames managers of business units who fail to meet their  quotas—in the process, openly denigrating male and Caucasian employees as less favored than others.”

The suit also claims that the “numerical presence of women celebrated at Google” was based “solely due to their gender” while the “presence of Caucasians and males was mocked with ‘boos’ during companywide weekly meetings.”

This is significant.
It would not have been possible under Hillary.

This sort of reality language is only possible under Trump.

Conservates: We want the Government to leave us and our businesses alone, less regulation, less red/green tape, leave it to the private sector, they know best.

Also Conservatives: We don't like how these companies are acting, we want the Government to step in tell them how to operate to suit us.

Handing that power to the Government is dangerous, and knowing Trump, it will be an overreach, it will have bypassed the normal congressional process because he can't negotiate his way out of a paper bag making clawing back these powers even harder, none of his supporters will say anything, Trump won't be in office anymore and they'll scream bloody murder when the Liberals change anything using these powers but they'll be nothing they can do about it.

Grin
...
"Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was sentenced to three years of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine after he pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor charges stemming from his involvement in a break-in at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) office.

In January, O’Keefe and three others were arrested by federal authorities at Landrieu’s office on allegations of phone-tampering.

Prosecutors initially said they caught four individuals in the process of committing a felony, but the charges were later reduced to misdemeanors.

O’Keefe got the toughest sentence. His co-defendants, Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, each got two years of probation, 75 hours of community service and the same fine as O’Keefe.



By the way, Google, Twitter, Instagram are not publicly owned forums not are they legally bound to First Amendment Rights. Project Veritas is a known scam and O'Keefe a grifter and con artist. He is banned not out some "liberal plot" but because he is a con artist.

Grow the bugger up and get off line and look for a god damn job. Hippie.
