GOOGLE’S ANTI-BREITBART PLOT: Employees Targeted Site’s Ad Revenue in 2017
Breitbart ^ | 10 Dec 2018 | Allum Bokhari

Emails leaked exclusively to Breitbart News reveal that a group of Google employees, with encouragement from the tech giant’s director of monetization, began plotting the downfall of this website shortly after the 2016 election. The group sought to strike at Breitbart News’ revenue by kicking the site off Google’s market-dominating ad services. Although their efforts ultimately failed, the discussion featured senior Google employees speaking frankly about their reasons for targeting the site. These included unfounded allegations of “hate speech” and “fake news.”

In the leaked emails, Google employee Richard Zippel advised a fellow employee that Google would act against Breitbart News “at the site level” if sufficient examples of “hate” were found. This kicked off a concerted effort to find evidence of “hate speech” on Breitbart.

Alphabet’s current market cap is somewhere around 722.47 Billion USD. For punitive damages to be “punitive”, you’d have to go much higher than a measly billion.. start at 100 billion and negotiate from there...

Trust me....this is only the tip of the iceberg at Google, FB and probably Microsoft.
Apple and Intel probably know about it but are worried about Anti Trust.

its not about free speech. it’s about rogue corporations colluding and using monopoly power to pick winners and losers in the market.

How is that not illegal? Wouldn’t it fall under anti-trust or a form of racketeering? “Say the words we want you to say or see your ad revenue go by-by”

Sue the bastards...why are these groups/companies being targeted by Facebook, Twitter, etc, not suing...their so called ‘rules’ are clearly arbitrary and discriminatory.
