Google Blames ‘Glitch’ For How Harris Campaign Was Able to Run Paid Ads with Fake Headlines to Deceive Voters

Google blamed a ‘glitch’ for how the Harris Camp was able to edit news headlines to make it look like major news outlets favored her.

As previously reported, the Harris Campaign edited news headlines with Google search ads to make it appear major news outlets such as Reuters, CBS News, CNN, NPR and AP are on her side.

While these major news outlets are shilling for Harris, her campaign edited the news headlines without the outlets’ consent or knowledge.

The ads say “sponsored” but the outlets did not publish the text. The favorable headlines were written by the Harris campaign.

CNN, NPR and other outlets told Axios they were unaware of the ads.

“According to Google’s ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn’t running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before.” Axios reported.

BTW - I got put in time out for 24 hours on YouTube for a comment I made regarding Harris being a border Czar. I left the comment on a CNN YouTube page.

They don’t care about the election.
How could they?
I think they have something planed.
It has been talked about if Trump is elected there would be civil war.
Biden let it slip as well.

Until Google starts getting fined this will continue. These glitches just keep happening. I would say it did about $500 million in damage, that should be the fine

Google Admits to Changing Search Results for 'Trump Assassination' Searches and Much More due to a prohibition against searches for political violence-related topics,

And if "prohibition against searches for political violence-related topics" is secretly censored, then so may results for ideological issues. Using my standard barometer (since evidence is overwhelming), a Google search for Negative effects of homosexual relations (w/out quotes) will not show a web page with that very title, and abundant CDC stats on how the practice pf sodomy has   (historically)   resulted in a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases  and effects besides HIV,  from Meningitis to  premature death. . Instead, the "negative effects" cited in snippets for top results are mainly issues designed to elicit sympathy, such as

1. (numbers are added by men in the order of top results with snippets) increased risk of depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.

2. "increased risk for suicidal behavior and ideation, major depression."

3. "poor psychological health and increased risk of suicide attempts,"

4. "Gay men smoke and use tobacco products at much higher rates than others."

5. "higher rates of body dysmorphia and eating disorders," "suicidal thoughts and high risk activities."

Then comes,6. "Participating in homosexual activity could be viewed as dangerous to society and incompatible with full health." ... "There are no negative effects associated with gay marriage that aren't also associated with any other configurations you could imagine."

Finally, if without details, 7. "Homosexual activity can also lead to other diseases. Homosexual activity is also dangerous spiritually. God designed sex to be used in the context of marriage,"

Which results is followed by a statement countering the last one, that,

8. "While some believe that homosexual activity is unnatural, scientific research shows that homosexuality is a normal and natural variation in human sexuality."

Next, Google even resorts to the obligatory, 9. "Same-sex couples more vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change."

And in all 50 top results there is zero mention of HIV/AIDs (despite the stats) and only one reference to sexually transmitted infection, while providing apologetics for the lifestyle.

Of course, Goggle opposes God

who made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

And homosexual relations have been tragically primarily responsible for approx. 80% of new HIV cases among men and over 700,000 American deaths, though such is not even the decisive reason why homosexual relations are wrong.

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

AP / Google confirms an Iranian group is trying to access emails linked to both US presidential campaigns

Wed, Aug 14, 2024, 7:07 PM EDT

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-confirms-iranian-group-trying-230742882.html

EXCERPTS:

Google said Wednesday that an Iranian group linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guard has tried to infiltrate the personal email accounts of roughly a dozen people linked to President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump since May.

The tech company’s threat intelligence arm said the group is still actively targeting people associated with Biden, Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the Democratic candidate last month when he dropped out. It said those targeted have included current and former government officials, as well as presidential campaign affiliates.

Google’s report said its threat researchers detected and disrupted a “small but steady cadence” of the Iranian attackers using email credential phishing, a type of cyberattack where the attacker poses as a trusted sender to try to get an email recipient to share their login details.

The report said Google observed the group gaining access to one high-profile political consultant’s personal Gmail account.

Yeah, but . . . such attacks (not only from Iran) are common and directed at many millions of e-mail accounts 24/7.

Meanwhile, why are any Republicans using G-mail in the first place? Why give Google the opportunities to read and then report the plans of Republicans . . . to Google’s fellow-syndicalists of the Democrat Party?
