Google Doubles Down on Purging Conservative Speech - Breitbart
Breitbart ^ | 22 Aug 2017 | CHRISS W. STREET

Posted on 08/22/2017 4:34:09 PM PDT by COBOL2Java


Google announced that their monopolistic search engine that controls 87 percent of page views will use its machine learning tool set to assist liberal groups in doubling down on purging conservative speech they consider hate.

TechCrunch blog reported that Google has partnered with ProPublica coalition and Pitch Interactive to create a data visualization tools that leverage the Google Cloud Natural Language API analytic algorithm to extract geographic and contextual information to provide journalists with a 50-state ‘Hate News Index.’

The ‘Media Bias/Fact Check’ blog that analyzes the point-of-view of over 1,700+ news sources, rates ProPublica as “Left-Center Bias.” The top link on its landing page, ‘THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: Ongoing coverage of the 45th president and his new administration,’ reflects that point-of-view by prominently listing ‘Documenting Hate’ directly underneath.

The Google/ProPublica coalition partners are all Center-Left Bias or Left Bias including the New York Times, BuzzFeed, Univision News, WNYC, First Draft, The Root, Meedan, New America Media, Latino USA, Ushahidi, The Advocate and 100 Days in Appalachia.

Although the coalition states they will work on civil rights issues with the highly respected University of Miami School of Communications, they also will rely on input from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation-funded and the radically Left Southern Poverty Law Center.

Time to start regulating them as telecom companies, and force Goolag to divest Android

".. conservative speech they consider hate."

THAT'S the spot where you can stop reading.

If it's "conservative" , it's hate. (to liberals, that is)

And here I was hoping that they’d support an Attila The Hun option.

Google. Don’t be evil doesn’t mean be downright wicked.

I’m still seeing new books about the so called witchhunts of subversives. Decades after the KGB files were opened up and names were named and front groups exposed. No reference to these papers in the books.

And these are the gatekeepers who’ll factcheck history and extremism.

By having control of 87% of Internet page views, Google has to be considered by antitrust rules as a de facto monopoly, regulated as a public utility monopoly and purged, by regulation, of all its big brother “speech control” persons, operations and technological means.

This is one of the few instances where there really does need to be regulation and break up of the monopoly. “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

It’s tempting. Personally I don’t go to Google for things political. Only for utterly nonpolitical topics.

That could be argued for.

If Google doesn’t want to advertise itself as an entity with explicit political slants.

Why can’t there be a breitsearch.com for the right? A Breitbart answer to Google.

Startpage uses Google - just protects privacy - “Startpage search engine, the new private way to search Google”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just quit using Google.

Here is a “meta” search engine that does not store user data or reveal IP address.

Well if they follow through they should be a lot more than regulated.

Google = Evil.

No Android device, no Gmail, no use of Google for a search engine.

I quit using Google. Found alternatives. Only use YouTube until the purge starts anyways.
