“It goes beyond censorship. Censorship is just the weapon. The goal of the Democrat party (and whoever controls them) is the manipulation of minds. And social media companies are willing, & gleeful, soldiers in the mass brainwashing of society in the name of The Greater Good™”

And the Greater Good is Marxism even if they don't use that name. The Left calls it Social Justice, Woke, Equity, Diversity, Equality (of outcome), Fairness, etc., etc.

But it's all the same.

Marxism.

They simply remove them from hits in searches. Same process as de-platforming or shadow banning. There are a number of hosting companies that were pressured into de-platforming people at the stem/root, which then ultimately succumbed to the “suggestion”.

Sure, Google isn’t the only game in town, but it is ubiquitous among android and the vast majority of people that still think this is all right-wing nut job conspiracy theory BS.

They are banking on that last bit.

By not returning them as options within search results.

They make it undiscoverable on Google. The site is still there, but you’d need to know there address and types it in, or be using Torr and search in the dark web. But you cannot discover the site by searching Google. Probably kills way over 99% of that traffic to the site.

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”

All this is what many of us suspected all along.

It is why I cancelled my cable television years ago and I listen to zero "mainstream" news. I will not even click on a mainstream media link here on Free Republic (which is the main reason I'll sometimes reply without reading the full article).

“To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!”

Using Duck Duck Go and they still put links of mainly left leaning news sites before a lot of right leaning sites. Google doesn’t list right leaning news sites until all the main lefty players are listed first. At least this is my experience with most subjects.

They simply exclude them from the results.. they don’t disappear from the internet, but they make sure you don’t ever see them in results.

I had a visit from the FBI about a rather benign post I made on FR. Either they are scanning our posts or there are moles on FR or the moderators report to the FBI.

Green Energy must be the Left’s latest hot button issue.

The number of ads I have seen on FaceBook in the last month has exploded.

I don’t click on them and yet they multiply.

Someone is paying big bucks for those ads or Facebook is pushing them.

You’ve got to be kidding! Maybe the visit was for a post you made on another site.

I have found many good links ten years ago now lead to a “404. Page not found”.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
