Christie-Lee McNally, executive director of Free Our Internet, warned of large technology companies’ procurement of political influence via lobbying efforts in Washington, DC. She offered her remarks in a Thursday interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily.
Free Our Internet is a non-profit organization describing itself as an opponent of the “tech-left” and its political censorship of “conservative speech online.”
McNally said:
They control over 90 percent of the internet, so they don’t need to capitulate to us, they don’t need to capitulate to the Senate [or] the president. They don’t need to capitulate … because they’ve bought them all. The amount they pay in lobbyists — if you look at FEC reports and how much they pay in lobbyists [and in] Washington, DC, they don’t have to worry about legislation.
“Clearly they lied last month when they went up there,” said McNally of Twitter and Facebook executives’ denial of political censorship across their digital platforms during testimony before congressional committees.

An internal company briefing produced by Google and leaked exclusively to Breitbart News argues that due to a variety of factors, including the election of President Trump, the “American tradition” of free speech on the internet is no longer viable.
Despite leaked video footage showing top executives declaring their intention to ensure that the rise of Trump and the populist movement is just a “blip” in history, Google has repeatedly denied that the political bias of its employees filter into its products. But the 85-page briefing, titled “The Good Censor,” admits that Google and other tech platforms now “control the majority of online conversations” and have undertaken a “shift towards censorship” in response to unwelcome political events around the world.
Examples cited in the document include the 2016 election and the rise of Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) in Germany. Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position.
The briefing labels the ideal of unfettered free speech on the internet a “utopian narrative” that has been “undermined” by recent global events as well as “bad behavior” on the part of users. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
“Antitrust. Break up Alphabet”
Do it now! Do it today! Should have been done already.
Why not label the Ditzy Blonde Host?
Dunno. I don’t know who made that.
Maybe she’s just your typical high-society Democrat. Don’t know.
Well, civility is already shot in the @$$ and safety seems to be ill-defined and likely ephemeral.
I knew at one time, but have forgotten.
Her identity may be the most important fact in those pics.
She certainly must be “somebody” to be at that table.
Blackmail?
Must work, look at Sessions.
LOL.....civility came and went when Hillary mentioned it.
Finally found out who were the lobbyist for the electronic medical act.
It was the data mining people!!! Does Google have our medical records?
Blasey Ford? LOL!
Congress was probably bought with nothing more than Google threatening to release the search history of each member of Congress.
NOTE: Since the Right-wing media has been asleep on this story for over two years — but suddenly Google’s collusion with Hillary Clinton is newsworthy, we at True Pundit wanted to highlight a story we broke in JUNE and SEPT. 2016, detailing Hillary and Google’s election collusion. That was 26 MONTHS AGO.
Also noteworthy, in this story True Pundit stated that China had hacked Hillary’s emails, per FBI sources. That also has recently “come true” so to speak in the ‘news’ recently. We broke it two years ago. We are proud that our national scoops always stand the test of time, despite misguided and partisan critics who are two years behind our reporting. Here is the original story from 2016. HEADLINE: FBI Botched Clinton Investigation: Never Disclosed Hillary, Aides Used Covert Google Server to Hide Benghazi Emails
It’s like a bad spy movie involving a third-world government. Or perhaps a slap stick comedy. The Secretary of State of the United States reading, sending, receiving sensitive emails with national security secrets, threats and classified or top secret intelligence over Google’s public Gmail. We expect this from chatting soccer moms but not from the top diplomat of the United States and her aides. (Excerpt) Read more at truepundit.com ...
Think of all the companies coming out who want to get our DNA in one way or another so they can supply us with this service and that service.. Can’t help but be suspicious where it’s all leading!
It’s beyond the most Bizarre spy movie ever made.
If they were made to donate anonymously they wouldn’t donate at all.. At least not legally.
It certainly seems accurate. Lots of bluster, but no actual action from Congress.
Yeah.....I’m pitching it to Netflix....wish me luck.
I remember a year or two ago someone on FoxNews saying Hillary’s server was no more secure than if she had used a Google. account.
