“Google Snowden moment”

Project Veritas has released hundreds of internal Google documents leaked by Vorhies. Among those documents is a file called “news black list site for google now.” The document, according to Vorhies, is a “black list,” which restricts certain websites from appearing on news feeds for an Android Google product. The list includes conservative and progressive websites, such as newsbusters.org and mediamatters.org. The document says that some sites are listed with or because of a “high user block rate.”

Concerns were raised that Google was secretly developing a Chinese search app for Android devices
designed to remove content that China’s authoritarian government does not like. Removing information about:
<><> political dissent,
<><> free speech,
<><> democracy,
<><> human rights,
<><> peaceful protest.

How convenient that Google had already designed that very same search app for Democrats.

Communist China can give thanks to Democrats and to Google.

Google Will ‘Actively Interfere’ in 2020 Elections, Researcher Says
epoch times ^ | 8/7/2019 | BOWEN XIAO / FR Posted on 8/8/2019, 11:12:32 AM by bitt

A researcher who has spent more than half a decade monitoring Google’s influence said he believes the tech giant will “actively interfere” in the 2020 elections. On Aug. 6, President Donald Trump said his administration is watching Google “very closely.”

Dr. Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, told The Epoch Times that Google has access to a number of powerful manipulation methods mostly through “ephemeral experiences” that can shift votes. Online ephemeral experiences are brief moments where information is generated instantaneously, such as search suggestions. They are not stored anywhere and can’t be tracked. Leaked internal emails from Google in 2018 found employees specifically discussing launching “ephemeral experiences” to counter Trump’s then-travel ban, The Wall Street Journal reported.

In his congressional testimony in July, Epstein noted that if all major technology companies came together to support the same candidate in 2020—which he said was likely—they could shift 15 million votes without leaving a paper trail. Epstein has discovered a dozen methods Google uses to manipulate public opinion or votes, including search engine manipulation effect and search suggestion effects. “Google will actively interfere in the 2020 elections,” Epstein said. “They’ll actively interfere in their lobbying efforts, they’ll actively interfere with their political donations, and they’ll actively interfere using the online methods of manipulation that I’ve studied and probably other methods that I haven’t yet discovered.”

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, donated $4.7 million to Democratic congressional candidates in 2018, according to FEC records. To Republican candidates, it donated $754,911.

In 2016, Epstein conducted a secret monitoring project that showed Google hid negative auto-complete search results for Hillary Clinton months before the election. His peer-reviewed research found Google’s algorithms can easily shift 20 percent or more of votes among voters.. (Excerpt) Read more at m.theepochtimes.com …

Google interfered in the 2016 election to the extent that Hillary had a 10 point advantage.

Yet she still lost.

Google won’t make that mistake again. Rats could nominate Creepy Uncle Joe; yet Google - along with Facebook and other social media - will manipulate results so that Trump will lose.

Google is controlled by the Chinese government. Every time a google employee donates to the Dems, that’s a donation by the Chinese government. Google is just laundering the cash.

CFP Blogger memos James O’Keefe.

Although I believe everything this Google insider said, I would warn O’keefe to watch his back......

...... this guy could be an insidious double agent for Google and his mission is to bring O’Keefe down.

It especially raised my suspicions when this guy heaped so much praise on Veritas and O’Keefe personally at the end of the video. ......

.......it would certainly make me feel uncomfortable to have an insider like this so close to me.

That's if they even make it that far. I say by the end of the year, the serious threat of Federal action against Facebook, Google, Snapchat and Twitter may change things really fast. Having Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey being "perp walked" is something those tech companies do NOT want.

Lots of political activism sites, of course, but a significant portion of the sites are torrent/filesharing sites.

We won’t revisit the copyright debate here but it’s worth noting that Google is leftist but it’s also greedy. Film, TV and video game advertising is a huge segment of Google’s ad sales, not least because new ads appear every day with new releases. Torrents can undermine overall ticket sales, streaming subs and retail purchases.

One bizarre entry is bachandbachettefans.com. Why bother with a fan site, you may ask? It’s because that particular site is less about episode discussions and instead is dedicated to ‘sleuthing’ before during and after the runs of Bachelor and related reality programming. The users discover who the participants are, where they are at present, their social media, etc.

Essentially it’s a load of spoiler info. And although the reality TV producers say they don’t fear spoilers that’s a risible lie. Spoilers undermine viewership because they undermine suspense and the secrecy pacts the contestants sign. And so, Google is doing the bidding of clients ABC, CBS, etc.

Googlag has been manipulating search results for a long time.

“Blacks killing cops”
Is changed to
“Cops killing blacks”

And
“Bruce Jenner “
To
“Kaitlin Jenner”

Of course they will use these methods to change the election.

“sites flagged for peddling hoax stories.” included:

abcnews.com.co/

cbsnews.com.co/

nbc.com.co/”

...but they don’t get banned?

Obviously, they have a review process by humans to determine which sites flagged by algorithms, actually get blocked or set back (hidden) in the results.

That process needs to be explicit and verifiable, so they can be held accountable.

Those discriminated against by Google (and it looks like Free Republic may be one, on this list) have their businesses harmed, and should have a cause of action to sue for damages, and perhaps punitive fines (which would need to be very large to be meaningful for Google).

Where are the lawyers to take up this case, against some of the deepest pockets in the world?
