Some of the web’s biggest destinations for watching videos have quietly started using automation to remove extremist content from their sites, according to two people familiar with the process. The move is a major step forward for internet companies that are eager to eradicate violent propaganda from their sites and are under pressure to do so from governments around the world as attacks by extremists proliferate, from Syria to Belgium and the United States. YouTube and Facebook are among the sites deploying systems to block or rapidly take down Islamic State videos and other similar material, the sources said. Lisa...

Crooked Fraud Hillary Clinton vs. Common Sense Donald Trump

Monday night before I went to sleep I was watching the news and on my Note 5 going thru websites like Freep and others. I was on Twitter going thru the comments on #TrumpTrain & #Trump2016 I was at the Trump rally last weekend in Tampa and I posted some pictures to those two hashes. I noticed a message with #GayForTrump one one post and clicked to check it out. I started reading thru the messages posted.I was touched.There were gays that after last weekend saw that the Liberal Establishment has sold them out. Many of the posters from #TrumpTrain...

In his second speech on Sunday morning's terrorist massacre in Orlando, Florida, President Barack Obama said  on Monday that "the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the Internet," that "we see no clear evidence that he was directed externally," and that "this is certainly an example of the kind of homegrown extremism that all of us have been so concerned about for a very long time." The press, led as usual by the Associated Press, is certainly cooperating with those characterizations. Presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has clearly made up her mind that...

Many moons ago, a search for the word "FAILURE" brought up what ? GEORGE W.Bush !!

Hillary Clinton's lock on the Democratic nomination is a historic milestone for our country, and these libertarian women are so proud...

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claims Google is working closely with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to promote the Democratic presidential candidate. Assange appeared via video link from the Ecuadorian embassy in London as part of the 'New Era of Journalism: Farewell to Mainstream international media' forum in Moscow. He said: "Google is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton’s campaign" and claimed the technology giant used the US State Department on a "a quid pro quo" basis. "Of course when she is in power… she is a problem for freedom of speech. We know what she is going to do. And she made...

There is this VR simulator out there that is pretty educational, but it's also been a source of humor. It's a surgical simulator that is basically a new version of "Operation" for the online world. You are given surgical tools and asked to perform surgery on a virtual patient. Well some filthy low-life modified the game to have Trump on the surgical table, and a gaggle of other filthy low-lifes are playing it. In this video, you'll see one such vile scumbag. There are plenty more. I'm not the kinda guy to do this, but this is a direct threat....

I am not normally one to use Facebook politically, but I am so pissed about the un-American thuggish mobs that I decided to change my Facebook profile picture to one of the girls who had been beaten with the caption: "I stand for the victims of the Democrat party's violent intolerance of dissent." Please join me and do the same. Find a compelling picture of a victim and post it as your profile picture in protest of the violence in the Democrat party and support for their victims. If asked how long my friends and family must see these profile...

Famous (and I use the term lightly) YouTuber "CJ So Cool" pulls off what he likes to call a "prank" as he gives children laxatives mixed in their ice cream treats. As if that's not bad enough, this disgusting gorilla humiliates them further by filming and mocking them while on the toilet. The video has since been deleted from YouTube because it caused him trouble, but several uploads are re-appearing. His girlfriend even uploaded a video DEFENDING him and going so far as even saying if it did anything IT HELPED her kids. That video was also taken down (what...

Recently, the Claremont Independent obtained screenshots from the “5C Women of Color” Facebook group. According to its description, the group—accessible only to its 1,100 approved members—is “for 5C students and alumnae who identify as women of color to reach out and serve as resources/support for one another.” Many of the page’s most popular posts mock those who do not identify as women of color. In response to her adoptive white father making jokes at her expense, Sarah Weiyun Otterstrom (SC ‘17) posted “I just need to get this out. I hate having white parents so much.” Another student responded by...

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Donald J. Trump would not be Silicon Valley’s first choice as president. Or its second. Or maybe even its third. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee wants to restrict immigration while bringing back manufacturing. He compulsively uses tech products like Twitter but is not in awe of the people who built them. He made his fortune the old-fashioned way, by going into the family business, in the old-fashioned industry of real estate. He’s not the valley’s kind of entrepreneur. Worst of all, Mr. Trump is revealing Silicon Valley’s vulnerability. In recent years, technology companies have extended their...

It’s been two weeks since Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with leaders of conservative media to “calm down” accusations that it was censoring conservative news and opinion. After the meeting, one of the attendees, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, characterized the meeting “between Zuckerberg and conservative leaders as generally positive and ‘cordial’ – but, also expressed a cautious wait-and-see reaction to Facebook’s promises of reform, citing the social media giant’s loss of public trust.” He also said “We’ll see how the [internal] investigation turns out.” Bozell’s caution was well-founded. The internal investigation took only a few days, and Facebook...

Could it soon be illegal to oppose jihad terror on the Internet? AP reported that “the European Union reached an agreement Tuesday with some of the world’s biggest social media firms, including Facebook and Twitter, on ways to combat the spread of hate speech online.”

A disturbing video surfaced Monday of a girl telling her parents at the dinner table, “We’re going to kill Donald Trump.” But the girl is reportedly only three-years old, and obviously doesn’t know who Trump is — the words were “put in her mouth” by her parents who kept encouraging her to repeat the sick statement. The original video was picked up by Mark Dice, who reposted it on his YouTube channel after blurring out the girl’s face — something the parents didn’t bother doing. After she made that declaration, you can hear her mother asking why he has to...

Yiannopoulos discussed the current business turmoil at Twitter and how, instead of trying to right the ship, the social platform is trying to flex its political muscle with moves that will marginalize right-wing voices. More disturbingly, he said, is the more financially stable Facebook and its coordination with government censorship: It’s not just Facebook we’re talking about. They own WhatsApp and they own Instagram. And WhatsApp and Instagram are two of the companies that are winning the short messaging war–that are winning the war for Millennial attention and for Millennial users. Twitter lost that war. Twitter only really appeals to...

Anti-Islamic State Video Game ‘Milo Tosser’ Branded ‘Hate Speech’ by Google by Allum Bokhari 04 May 2016 Milo Tosser is a satirical video game that allows you to score points by throwing Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos off a rooftop. The game is intended to mock the Islamic State’s barbaric attitudes towards gay people. Google finds this objectionable. Despite a personal endorsement from Yiannopoulos himself, the tech company has decided to remove the game from its online store on grounds of “hate speech.”

The European Commission has today announced a partnership with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft in order to crack down on what it classes as “illegal hate speech” while “criminaliz[ing]” perpetrators and “promoting independent counter-narratives” that the European Union favours. A press release from the Commission this morning claims the new initiative has been set up “to respond to the challenge of ensuring that online platforms do not offer opportunities for illegal online hate speech to spread virally”. The move has been branded “Orwellian” by Members of the European Parliament, and digital freedom groups have already pulled out of any further...

Has ISIS awakened Europe to reality or not? The love story between the Eagles of Death Metal and France lasted just six months. That American band was performing at Le Bataclan theater on 13th of November, when two ISIS suicide bombers exterminated 89 people in a turkey shoot (including Nick Alexander, Eagles' merchandising manager). For weeks, France rallied around this group of anarchists from California with their culture of middle America. Now the Eagles of Death Metal are toxic in France and two music festivals, Rock en Seine and Cabaret Vert, just canceled their performance. "Being in total disagreement with...

The European Union reached an agreement Tuesday with some of the world's biggest social media firms, including Facebook and Twitter, on ways to combat the spread of hate speech online. Under the terms of a code of conduct, the firms, which also include YouTube and Microsoft, have committed to "quickly and efficiently" tackle illegal hate speech directed against anyone over issues of race, color, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin. The sites have often been used by terrorist organizations to relay messages and entice hatred against certain individuals or groups. Among the measures agreed with the EU's executive arm,...
