Silicon Valley trying to shadow ban GOP ads.

They’re desperate.

Google Ads Blocks GOP Candidate Marsha Blackburn Video (Election Meddling!)

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

I mean, at this point the tech giants aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

They can ban all they want, it won’t save Bredesen. Senator Marsha Blackburn has a nice ring to it

Shouldn’t all good Americans be upset that a little group is deciding which political opinions and candidates the people are allowed to find out about?

The alleged freedom of the press and alleged freedom of political assembly and alleged freedom of speech are all decided by nerdy freaks who happened to start Facebook,Twitter,Google, Instagram, et al. Who made them God? Isn’t that what Communist China does to dissident thought shown on searches?

They’ll say William F. Buckley and the Charles Krauthammer were out of control Nazi white supremacist hate speech purveyors and not allow us to Google search, buy on Amazon,use a credit card to buy their books,use FedEx to mail them, or even for us to tweet opinions about them. Some free country.

Google is evil. Unfortunately I have an iPhone, and Siri is powered by Google

Maybe we need to enact a Law against this sort of monopolistic behavior, we can call it Anti Trust Law.

There are going to be lawsuits galore after this election, but the tech giants know they will never pay a SINGLE PENNY if Dems win the house. And they are betting they will.

Google only exercises standards for conservative voices. Otherwise, anything goes.

Google is way past the point we should have burned it to the ground. There is no nastier more evil corporation in existence than that modern day stasi quasi-state.

The people who run it need to be tossed in jail, it's assets need to be broken up, and whatever is left of it needs to be forced to carry all traffic that the public puts forth.

Google Ads, a neoNazi operation, has conspired to stifle free speech once again.

Time to take Google to court. Someone must have “standing” to show that Google’s “selective censorship” is causing harm to innocent people.

All you need is one damned good lawyer and 12 affected people for a class action lawsuit.

Get it filed before the elections and left Google crap in their leftist little boy’s pants.

Censorship is keeping your kids from watching inappropriate videos.

What Big Tech is doing is NOT censorship.

It is Totalitarianism. By a shadow government.

And they AREN’T “private companies”.

They are publicly traded companies, who do their business on the internet. They are answerable to the SEC and the FCC. And though I am not an attorney, I suspect that they are violating their corporate charters by their actions.

Based on other recent cases, they are also probably making de facto campaign contributions to the DNC and its minions. I think the FEC should be concerned about that.

HUD (Yes, HUD!) is supposedly suing Facebook for allowing landlords to buy ads on the pages of FB users, while selecting those users by forbidden qualities like race. If HUD can take action against Big Tech, so can other agencies, where appropriate, The problem is they aren’t doing anything. Perhaps they fear that they will be punished by the Dems if the GOP loses the House now, and the Senate and White House in 2020.

Fear is not a good way to do business.

Until earlier this year Google’s motto was “Don’t be evil”. Their new motto should be “We ARE evil.”
