THE GOOD CENSOR: Tech Companies Should ‘Police Tone’, Give Users ‘Positive Guidelines’
Breitbart ^ | October 9, 2018 | Allum Bokhari

Posted on 10/09/2018 8:02:22 PM PDT by Twotone

A 85-page briefing entitled “The Good Censor,” exclusively leaked to Breitbart News from within Google, advises tech companies to “police tone rather than content” and to not “take sides” when censoring users.

The document, which can be read in full here, acknowledges that tech platforms including Google have shifted towards censorship in recent years, moving away from their original commitment to the American tradition of free speech.

Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position.

I think there’s a download button at the site, but it may require special software. I didn’t bother to try.

The ‘Download’ requires a signin. I disabled javascript but that didn’t help.

Let’s rename “Google’s slogan” in Joe Pine style, as “Go Google/Gargle with Razor Blades”.

IOW, take sides by claiming the 'tone' violated 'standards'.
How's this for tone?

Everyone knows the trouble makers of social media are the trolls deviating the topic into personal attacks, and yet they are the ones empowered to ban those posting actual substantial material, posts and comments.

This document could be used as evidence by the FTC and SEC if the Trump Administration decides to go after the tech industry for violating US securities laws.

Recently suspended by bastard Brady’s censorship team from Twitter for posting:

Congress needs to step in and regulate political censorship by bastards like Brady and Suckerberg in Facebook, Twitter, Google and Youtube.
People like Soros are feeding their leftist bias with dollars.

Its more than that. They are trying to shut down the exchange of political information by conservatives in order to influence elections so they trend Democrat.

Google, youtube, Fakebook, and twitter need to be declared public utilities and regulated bybthe Federal Government to assure they no practice political oppression and supression.
